The Android and Tag Heuer Twitter accounts are tweeting up a storm about the upcoming Tag Heuer Android Wear watch. The "Tag Heuer Connected" teaser site confirms that luxury watchmaker is diving into the smartwatch market with an Android Wear device. The most interesting thing is the statement at the bottom of the page that reads "Developed in partnership with Google and Intel."
Tag, Intel, and Google have all been talking about the watch since the beginning of the year, but the tweet gives us our first glimpse at the watch's design. The description on the teaser site says, "TAG Heuer is pushing the Swiss avant-garde limits even further with the TAG Heuer Connected. Tradition meets innovation, craftsmanship meets savoir-faire, and bold style meets breakthrough technology. The clock is ticking to the major breakthrough." The site has a countdown for November 9, 2015.
