In a press release, the business explained the move:

Bitpay, a cryptocurrency payment platform, facilitates the alternative payment option. A dozen cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin cash (BCH), bitcoin (BTC), dogecoin (DOGE), and ethereum (ETH) as well as five stablecoins, are available for purchase. They would be able to pay up to $10,000 each transaction, with no minimum spend.

TAG CEO Frédéric Arnault was cited as saying, “We’ve been monitoring cryptocurrency trends extremely closely since bitcoin first started trading.” “We knew TAG Heuer would implement what appears to be an integrated global technology in the near future despite the fluctuations as an avant-garde watchmaker with an innovative drive,” the executive added.
