TAG Heuer’s Monaco
I love watches. It’s a little geeky, but as a one-time apprentice watch maker, one look at tiny, perfectly formed gear trains with ruby bearings is enough to make my heart go pitter-pat. And nothing in the industry says pitter-pat quite like TAG Heuer.
TAG Heuer has been an unstoppable force since their beginning in 1860, a company built on “entrepreneurship, innovation, an obsession with ultimate precision, and a deep love of prestigious sports.” Indeed, TAG Heuer is the only brand to combine luxury and performance in the ultimate timepiece, a wristwatch that is accurate to 1/10th, 1/100th and 1/1000th of a second.
And now, in honor of the 40th anniversary of Steve McQueen and TAG’s memorable performance in the racing film Le Mans, the legendary Monaco chronograph will be rereleased in June of this year.
This watch will include the original 1969 revolutionary self winding Calibre 11 movement in a square casing with a dark blue face, and only 1,000 of them will be in circulation. How much, you ask? $7,900. Not bad for perfection.
