This beautifully produced book is the result of a collaboration between watchmaker TAG Heuer and the late, renowned photographer Herb Ritts. "The TAG Heuer Kirium project on sport and champions confronted Herb Ritts with the challenge of portraying thirteen men and women all as outstanding in their fields of sporting achievement as he is behind the camera. Wielding his camera, patiently pacing back and forth, (he) pursued his prey, coaxing all thirteen figures to reveal their true spirit, capturing them for a moment in time, timeless, moving into the realms of eternity".
