Marcus HankeHeuer Monza Chronograph 40 years anniversary re-edition Review by Marcus Hanke In 1976, Jack Heuer designed the first „Monza“ chronograph, to celebrate Niki Lauda’s 1975 first world championship won for Ferrari. That watch was all-black and used a round case design with integrated lugs. Forty years later, TAG Heuer’s re-edition of this first „Monza“ is different, but quotes the strongest design elements of the original: the all-black case, the combined pulsometer/tachymeter scale on the rehaut, and the high-contrast ... ...Story

foverstaThere is currently at the Tag Heuer Boutique of Paris a small exhibition which gathers several historic pieces of the brand. It is a very useful exhibition for those who don't know well the history of Tag Heuer and of Heuer since it displays various iconic watches, some of them being subject of revival decades later. The exhibition highlights the wide range of style, of design and of purposes offered by Heuer. Most of them are chronographs but we can feel a large gap between the Autavia and the Montreal.....Story

andrewluffNo long explanation needed.... For me the V4 ticks a lot of the boxes and mine also ticks that extra orange box! The V4 is an amazing piece with a great story behind it, can you believe the concept was presented in Basel in 2004... still today it is futuristic and the update for the carbon case just gives it that space aged twist. I wear it a lot and it always gives me pleasure and a smile on my face Cheers Andrew ...Story

JToddHIt was a victory forty years in the making as Jack Heuer, Honorary Chairman of TAG Heuer, took to the stage to accept the Revival Watch Prize at the prestigious 2016 Grand Prix de l’Horlogerie de Genève in November. This year’s prestigious Revival award was for TAG Heuer’s 40 th Anniversary Monza, announced earlier this year at Baselworld. Four decades ago, the original Heuer Monza was designed by Jack Heuer, the great grandson of the brand’s founder, Edouard Heuer. The latest Monza is not merely a reincarnation .....Story

JToddHOkay, so I admit it, I’m a sucker for a black watch. So when TAG Heuer announced their new 41mm “Black Phantom,” I couldn’t help but take notice. At a time when the new Carreras are commanding the spotlight, I was curious to see how TAG Heuer would continue improving the Aquaracer line. I’m happy to report that despite the success of the new Carrera Heuer 01, the Aquaracers undoubtedly remain relevant and a mainstay of the TAG Heuer lineup...Story

JToddHTwo weeks ago, I had the opportunity to attend the 100 th running of the Indianapolis 500. Having recovered from this adventure, I’m sharing my first Indy experience. Racing, as we all know, exists and prospers via advertising and corporate sponsorship. But what I realized during this race was that TAG Heuer enjoys a unique and significant relationship with IndyCar...Story

foverstaA few days ago, I had the chance to participate to one of the events organized to officially launch the Tag Heuer Connected Watch in Spain. This cocktail party took place on the Terrace of Rabat boutique in Barcelona, a great venue for this kind of event... and I have to confess that it is less risky to organize an outdoor event in Spain than in France due to the weather conditions! The connected watch is a very important project for Tag Heuer. The proof is obvious: we just need to observe the personal commitment .....Story

andrewluffI am a big fan of the direction Tag Heuer is going at the moment under the leadership of Jean-Claude Biver, both in terms of their normal mechanical range but also for the connected watch. They may not all be for me (verdict is still out on the connected watch) but it seems that their catalogue contains something for everyone at the right price point. It was interesting in a conversation with Jean-Claude Biver that he mentioned that they have been focusing on the perceived value of their watches verses the ... ...Story

JToddHAnnounced at Baselworld last year, TAG Heuer’s Carrera Heuer 01 was positioned as the brand’s newest flagship piece. The media was all abuzz about the new Carrera as TAG aficionados awaited its release. Since it began shipping last November, the new Carrera has surpassed the brand’s expectations and, I have to admit, mine as well. Never before have I monitored the genesis of a watch with such anticipation...Story
