SPORT Taking on the Impossible

For Zian Perrot-Couttet, the Mont-Blanc Massif isn’t just a playground—it’s a proving ground. As he tackles vertiginous slopes with gradients reaching 55 degrees, his greatest challenge—beyond the mastery of speed—is to master gravity itself. His journey isn’t for the faint-hearted—a grueling 12-hour ascent before a single, exhilarating descent. The stakes? Absolute. The reward? A fleeting moment of perfection honed through years of skill and endurance.

On his wrist, the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph is the ultimate ally. Powered by light—both natural and artificial—it transforms every second of exposure into pure energy. One minute in the sun equals an entire day of autonomy, while a full charge allows up to 10 months of performance in complete darkness. Just as Zian adapts to the unpredictable terrain, his watch remains ready for anything, blending robust stainless steel construction with icy blue accents inspired by the alpine environment.

While Zian conquers the sheer drops of the Mont-Blanc Massif, Gaspard Ravanel rides his own line into history. Taking on the north face of the Dolent, one of the Alps’ most legendary and unforgiving slopes, Gaspard represents the new generation of high-altitude snowboarders. His TAG Heuer Aquaracer is as daring as he is—its striking ruby-red dial mirrors the fiery hues of alpine sunrises and autumn landscapes. Built to endure, its 40mm steel case and bezel stand firm against the elements, just as Gaspard does with every controlled carve.

Meanwhile, Ueli Kestenholz, a pioneer in speed riding, challenges the laws of physics over the icy waters of Lac d’Émosson. Skimming the lake’s glassy surface with millimeter precision, he orchestrates an aerial ballet where turbulence and technique collide. On his wrist? The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph, crafted from ultra-light titanium grade 2, offering unparalleled robustness and agility. Designed to withstand the pressures of high-speed motion and extreme conditions, its solar-powered movement ensures it never falters—even in the most demanding environments.

With high risks come high rewards. Extreme winter sports are known to be as thrilling as they are merciless. Athletes who embark on such perilous adventures must demonstrate extraordinary resilience, adaptability, and the ability to perform under pressure. This is where the TAG Heuer Aquaracer collection finds its ultimate purpose. From sheer rock faces to frozen lakes, its heritage speaks of endurance and the refusal to be constrained by boundaries. The fusion of solar-powered precision, cutting-edge materials, and relentless performance makes a daring statement of defiance against the impossible.

As Zian, Gaspard, and Ueli push themselves to new extremes, TAG Heuer is right there with them. Because on the mountain, as in life, every second counts.
