Season 3: The TAG Heuer Monaco | In this episode, we look at why the names ‘Monaco’ and ‘Steve McQueen’ have become inseparable decades after the watch and the superstar were brought together. We begin at Circuit de la Sarthe, home to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and go all the way to the silver screen, where Steve McQueen wears the culture-defining Monaco in the movie ‘Le Mans’.
