Chad McQueen, a dead ringer for his father, Hollywood actor Steve McQueen, attended the launch.

The actor made the Monaco automatic chronograph famous after wearing it on the set of Le Mans, a movie centered around the famous French motor race.

Mr McQueen was joined by five-time winner of Le Mans and driver in the movie Le Mans, Derek Bell; actor, race car driver, and TAG Heuer brand ambassador Patrick Dempsey; and race car driver, Formula E Champion 2017–18 and brand ambassador Jean-Éric Vergne.
