ModeLabs Helps Tag Heuer Go Mobile

Renowned Swiss watchmaker Tag Heuer has joined forces with ModeLabs to start producing a range of mobile handsets.

The latest trend, so it would seem, is either for two completely different companies, from two completely different fields, to get together and develop a product that would of course make everyone in the world look at one another and go – Wha…? Wow! The ‘in’ name these days is French design house ModeLabs. As you may recall, they helped design the HT1 Hummer cell phone. Recently they launched the Levi’s mobile handset in Hong Kong. They also are the makers of a few concept mobile handsets.

We are, of course, totally in the dark as to what kind of mobile phone handset a watch company would bring to the table. Then again, there was the Levi’s handset. But if it’s anything like their watches, I’m sure it’ll be stylish, tasteful and yes, probably very expensive. But who knows. The first Tag Heuer phone should be out sometime in the second half of next year. Stay Tuned.
