TAG Heuer has brought 81-year-old Japanese racing driver Tetsu Ikuzawa back into the limelight – more than 40 years after he retired from competition. Ikuzawa’s return to fame is the result of his fashion influencer daughter, Mai, encouraging TAG Heuer and watch customiser Bamford Watch Department to create a Team Ikuzawa tribute piece, left. The Carrera chronograph gets a white dial with red highlights, a scheme inspired by the livery of some of the cars driven by Ikuzawa, one of Japan’s most successful drivers and, in 1973, the joint-first Japanese person to compete at Le Mans (alongside Hiroshi Fushida).
