Introducing The TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 02T Tourbillon Nanograph Replica Watch

Quick Take


While everyone's been fixated on the first day of the 2019 SIHH, TAG Heuer has gone and quietly released a technologically incredible chronograph that utilizes a totally new hairspring made of carbon composite. They developed this new technology themselves and hold the patent for it too. The watch is all about showing off and celebrating that new technology in a watch that also pays homage to TAG Heuer's history via the Carrera case and name.

This watch is very much an evolution of the Carrera Heuer 02T, a watch that shook up the industry in 2016 by offering a Swiss tourbillon chronograph at a never-before-heard-of price. Building off the foundation of that watch's 45mm case (rendered here in blacked-out titanium with a carbon bezel), TAG Heuer has pushed basically every aspect of the movement to the next level. The entire thing is decorated with hexagon motifs, a reference to the nanoscopic hexagonal structure of the carbon used in the hairspring, the dial and rotor have both been openworked to let you see more of the movement, and the aluminum balance wheel is set with both white gold weights and white Super-LumiNova so you can see it beating away in the dark. Neon green accents add further drama, adorning everything from the tourbillon cage to the column wheel.

In theory though, the use of carbon here is all about performance. According to TAG Heuer, the carbon-composite hairspring is virtually unaffected by both gravitational effects and shocks, makes perfect concentric oscillations due to its geometry, thus offering better precision, is easier to assemble for their watchmakers, and has outstanding thermal behavior when paired with the aluminum alloy balance. I don't have a doctorate in materials science, but if this is as impactful as TAG Heuer suggests, we could be looking at the next generation of high-tech watchmaking right here.(TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 02T Tourbillon Nanograph replica watch)


Initial Thoughts


I feel like I have a pretty good handle on how to evaluate a watch by now. I've been doing this professionally for a few years and know what things I should look for, the questions people are going to ask, and how to figure out relatively complex mechanisms on short notice in order to then explain them to others. All of that said, I have basically none of the tools necessary to tell you whether this is a huge revolution in watchmaking or simply a fun little experiment that has produced a horological curiosity. Either way, this looks like a super cool watch, and I'm very excited to see one up close soon enough. While a lot of mechanical watchmaking is about looking back, I always appreciate it when a manufacture decides to look into the future and bring it into focus themselves.

Breitling Bentley Replica Watch You Can Wear

  Overall Impression I am happy that someone at Breitling has finally realized that there is a lot of wealthy people with good taste and there is a strong demand for classy ultra-luxury watches. Like with the last year’s Navitimer Aviator 8 B01 Chronograph 43 Limited Edition model, Breitling’s designers sought their inspiration in watches that were offered by the brand back in the 1940s-1950s when their products were mainly associated with elegance and refinement, not with arrogance and brutality. The new batch of vintage-styled models is still significantly physically larger than the classic pieces from half a century ago, but not in that defiantly vulgar way as the luxury timekeepers offered ten -or even five- years ago by Breitling itself, Breitling Bentley replica watch as well as its many competitors. Case, Ergonomics & Strap At 42 millimeters in diameter, the Centenary is still larger than a classic dressy chronograph and the lugs could have been a trifle shorter to make...

2018 Tissot T-Race MotoGP Limited Edition Watch

  Tissot T-Race MotoGP Limited Edition Chronograph Leading up to Baselworld 2018, Tissot has released a new limited edition into what's arguably its most masculine collection. Tissot has often been criticized for its change of direction over the last few years through partnerships with a number of organizations and people – the NBA and MotoGP being the most consistent and successful. The motorbike racing inspired Tissot T-Race MotoGP Limited Edition Chronograph has more nods to Motocross than a bobble-head in a hurricane. I believe this model will fit into a niche of reasonably affordable watches for the hardcore speed-bike fans who aren't afraid to rock a rose gold piece of manly wrist candy. Case Let's start with the case. Measuring in at 43mm x 12.7mm (though I imagine it feels a bit larger considering the hefty crown guard and pushers aptly described as the "control panel"), the stainless steel case is coated in rose gold, and features oversized lugs...

Indeed, this year, the Yacht-Master II, an imposing 44 mm regatta chronograph, is adorned with a new dial and new hands that go perfectly with this piece, which is totally unique in the world of racing. Geneva manufacture. The movement We no longer present the Yacht-Master II, a well-known Rolex model launched ten years ago, which, thanks to its “in-house” caliber, allows a “programmable countdown with mechanical memory”. More precisely, this countdown is programmable from 10 to 1 minutes. This, in order to prepare for the start of a regatta.   This programming is memorized by the “in house” mechanism (caliber 4161/72 h of power reserve), which allows, when resetting, to return to the time initially set. Once activated, the countdown can be synchronized in flight to precisely match the official race count. The dial We all know the system of this timepiece which remains unchan...
