TAG Heuer's Calibre 360 Limited Edition


Here is a high-resolution image of one of TAG Heuer's new breaktrough 360 Calibre mdoels. This particular model in rose gold will cost $18,000 and is limited to 100 pieces. More importantly than the ridiculously priced rose gold models is the new movement that was done completely in-house. Watch experts said that it could not be done, but TAG Heuer has produced the first mechanical wrist chronograph to measure time to the 1/100th of a second. The balance wheel of the Carrera Calibre 360 beats 10 times faster than any other chronograph, a rate that was considered impossible until now. This watch sets a new standard and helps restore TAG Heuer's image as a mechanical watchmaker as opposed to a just a well marketed watch company in years past.

What is even more special about this in-house movement is that the chrono function is not added to the main automatic movement. Instead it is a separate movement, with its own barrel, winding system, gearwheel and independent balance wheel. I think TAG has done an excellent job in recent years and I look forward to their further innovations in the future.
