Now, I understand that using Mario Kart is fun on a watch. Both watches will become available this month (October 2022). The Mario Kart Chronograph Tourbillion is water resistant to 100 meters. At 6 o’clock, you will see the tourbillon cage, showing Mario in his kart, a Spiny Shell, and Bullet Bill. The dial is skeletonized, giving you a nice view of the Heuer 02T movement. Pretty awesome! The movement offers not only a chronograph and a tourbillon it has also been chronometer-certified by COSC. Additionally, the sapphire crystal on the back has been laser engraved with the Mario Kart logo. Its 45mm case is made of Grade 5 titanium, and the sapphire case back will show the Heuer 02T movement. The hardcore Mario Kart fans that want to own one of these will need to shell out € 24,750 ($25,600). Then, there’s the TAG Heuer Formula 1 × Mario Kart Chronograph Tourbillon, which is limited to 250 pieces. TAG Heuer Formula 1 × Mario Kart Chronograph Tourbillon The Mario Kart Chronograph is water-resistant to 200 meters. The price of this watch will be € 4,150 (US$4,300). The crown has the red “M” engraving on it, reminding you of the little plumber. You’ll find Mario in his kart in the 9 o’clock sub-dial on the dial, and - how fun! - the date aperture will regularly show items from the game instead of the date. The carbon-look dial has the classic caliber 7750 layout with sub-dials at 12, 6, and 9 o’clock. The 44mm case is made of stainless steel, and on the case back, you will find an engraving of the Mario Kart logo. The TAG Heuer Formula 1 × Mario Kart Chronograph is powered by caliber 16 (based on ETA’s 7750 or Sellita’s SW500) and is limited to “just” 3,000 pieces. TAG Heuer Formula 1 × Mario Kart Chronograph One is a Formula 1 Chronograph, and the other is a Formula 1 Chronograph with a tourbillon. It’s a great one, especially with two players, and it’s always a lot of fun.Īccording to TAG Heuer, the Connected × Super Mario LE that came out last year was such a must-have among fans that the brand decided to do two more limited editions with Nintendo’s plumber. Now that I have a Nintendo Switch in the house, I find myself playing the game with my daughter on rainy autumn days. Mario Kart is one of the later-discovered titles that I loved best - and I still do.

Only later did I purchase a Nintendo and realize that I had missed some great classics.
