Brand vibe
Hong Kong design studio founded by Japanese industrial designer Yoshiaki Motegi in 2010. The name stands for "Time And Concept Style" and every collection is built around a single conceptual hook... Photography (dials that literally render as camera lens barrels), Water (ripples, droplets, ice cubes), Hobby Time (vinyl turntables, Polaroid film), and the more conventional Timepiece line. TACS is the rare object-as-watch brand that takes its references seriously. Major cool find.

⚠ Current Section 122 rate expires Jul 24, 2026 — rates may change.
EU framework deal paused after SCOTUS ruling. Currently flat 10% Section 122. [Note as of June 17, 2026: USTR has proposed new Section 301 forced-labor tariffs (~10–12.5%) that, if enacted, would stack on top of current rates. Still in public-comment phase.]
Tariffs are assessed based on where the watch is assembled, not where individual components originate. A watch with a Japanese movement assembled in the US incurs no import duty.
