TAG Heuer's focus on exploring cutting-edge watchmaking technologies dates back to the early 21st century. At that time, TAG Heuer shifted its focus to a new development path for watches and movements, striving to break through the performance limits of watches through technological innovation and showcasing its advanced watchmaking capabilities. This led to the launch of watches such as the Monaco V4 and Mikrogirder.
At the 2023 Only Watch charity auction, TAG Heuer launched its first mechanical split-seconds chronograph, powered by the TH81 chronograph movement co-developed with Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier. Subsequently, in 2024, to commemorate the 55th anniversary of the Monaco collection, TAG Heuer officially released the split-seconds chronograph. To date, the collection has presented five masterpieces, offering a wide range of materials to satisfy the diverse collecting preferences of collectors.
This year at LVMH Watch Week, TAG Heuer has once again incorporated the TH81 chronograph movement into the Carrera collection, launching the TAG Heuer Carrera Split-Seconds Chronograph – marking the first time this iconic collection has introduced the split-seconds complication.
Experimental chronographs are a central stage for TAG Heuer to showcase its technical authority and historical heritage. Crafted watches like the Monaco V4 and Mikrogirder have already pushed the boundaries of traditional watchmaking. The Carrera Split-Seconds Chronograph, unveiled at this year's LVMH Watch Week, further embodies this pioneering spirit of innovation, directly injecting it into the core of the Carrera collection.
This new TAG Heuer Carrera Split-Seconds Chronograph perfectly embodies this pursuit of technology. Featuring a Glassbox construction and a 42mm Grade 5 titanium case, it retains Carrera's signature clear readability and angular lugs while cleverly integrating a delicate pusher and a concealed split-seconds control at 9 o'clock. The domed sapphire crystal, translucent dial, and curved tachymeter scale complement each other, creating a rich sense of depth and transparency, making the TH81-01 movement, co-developed with Vaucher, the visual focus. This movement boasts a 5Hz frequency, a 65-hour power reserve, and is hand-finished with black polishing, beveling, and checkered flag engraving. All of this demonstrates that the Carrera, along with the Monaco collection, is not only a classic timepiece born in 1963 and 1969, but also an excellent platform for carrying contemporary top-level chronograph engineering and watchmaking technology.
