TAG Heuer offers Bitcoin and crypto payments in the US

Techniques d’Avant Garde (TAG), founded over a century and a half ago by Edouard Heuer in Switzerland, has reportedly reserved Bitcoin and crypto payments for its US customers to purchase its high-quality watches. 

Along with BitPay, TAG will accept a dozen cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ethereum (ETH), Dogecoin (DOGE) and five other stablecoins, with a maximum of $10,000 per transaction and no minimum spending requirements.

In this regard, Frédéric Arnault, CEO of TAG said: 

“We have been following cryptocurrency developments very closely ever since bitcoin first started trading. As an avant-garde watchmaker with an innovative spirit, we knew TAG Heuer would adopt what promises to be a globally integrated technology in the near future despite the fluctuations”.

Luxury evolves with BTC 

There are many Luxury brands that want to innovate, involving BTC and other crypto as payment methods. 

And indeed, in this 2022 alone, the number of companies that have taken this route has increased, counting on evolving financially as well. In fashion for example, there is the Italian luxury giant Gucci, which accepts as many as 10 cryptocurrencies in some of its US shops. 

Even the fashion house Off-White, creator of one of the trendiest and most popular shoe brands among young people, has introduced payments in BTC, ETH, BNB, XRP, USDT and USDC in its flagship shops in London, Paris and Milan. 

Changing sectors, there is also one of the UAE’s leading airlines, Emirates Airline, which has stated that it is adding Bitcoin as a payment method. Emirates said it is also working to develop applications involving metaverse and NFTs.
