Nintendo went big for their beloved Super Mario franchise which gave the world many commemorative items to purchase to complete their fandom and admiration for the game.

TAG Heuer and Nintendo are back at it again for the second and third time around, with this latest upcoming release debuting two watches that centers on "Mario Kart." These two chronograph timepieces deliver luxury and pop culture expressions in one, centering on TAG's Formula 1 series, integrating the famed plumber's designs.
