FIrst seen on Chrono24, which seems weird.

'For your consideration is a brand new, very limited edition Tag Heuer Aquaracer watch designed by Alec Monopoly. This watch is number 02 of only 25 made worldwide.' This seems to be confirmed by one of the pictures.

I wonder if this was a special edition done for a store/ boutique rather than an official global LE?

Something like customized by Alec Monopoly instead of Bamford?

Doubtful, Alec's idea of customising is to spray paint at things... it's clearly got it's own number as well, and strap. It looks genuine but it's not particularly attractive is it? I don't really get what the strap has to do with AM really, maybe he does paintings of leaves, but it's not really his calling card is it?

Yes, it's really puzzling. The colour sceme would match the Beverly Hills Hotel. AM did some collaborative artwork with them last year.
But all in all it seems a bit gloomy and dim compared to his other stuff.

Maybe they sell these at the hotel?

I’d want a free week at the hotel just to wear that monstrosity! Hideous!

Enigma solved. My guess was right. Alec Monopoly postet this on Instagram:


And Aquagraph is right, too, they are sold at the Beverly Hills Hotel:

This might be the first step of the transformation to Biverly Hills Hotel 😉

I'm glad to see they've revised the number of the edition to more accurately match the demand 😜
