8 TAG Heuer Carrera TAG Heuer Carrera 50th Anniversary Fifty years ago an icon was born when Jack Heuer created the first TAG Heuer Carrera to honour an epic race, the Carrera Panamericana. In 2013 we are celebrating that anniversary in true TAG Heuer style. Setting the pace is the Calibre 1887 movement, designed and created entirely in-house. Innovative choices in materials and finishings enrich the TAG Heuer Carrera s classic design, and gold versions add star quality. The legend races on.

45 44 / 45 TAG HEUER CARRERA mikrotourbillons When technology gives a virtuoso performance. Entirely conceived, manufactured and assembled in-house at our factory in La Chauxde-Fonds, this high-end timepiece is not only the world s fastest, most accurate dual tourbillon chronograph ever, but the only one able to measure and display 1/100th of a second. The chronograph tourbillon rotates an incredible 12 times per minute, beating a dizzying 360,000 times per hour, while the watch tourbillon, certified Chronometer (COSC), beats at 4Hz. And thanks to the TAG Heuer Carrera MikrotourbillonS dual-chain architecture the watch does not affect the chronograph movement, providing outstanding precision. Luxury combines with awe-inspiring technology to create this masterpiece. The ultimate watchmaking complication, entirely patented.

46 TAG HEUER CARRERA mikrogirder The future looks different. By scrapping the traditional balance wheel and hairspring, invented three centuries ago, the TAG Heuer Carrera Mikrogirder has revolutionized watchmaking for ever. Powered by a pioneering patented linear vibrating system, it was awarded the prestigious Aiguille d Or at the Grand Prix d Horlogerie de Genève, the highest distinction in luxury watchmaking. Measuring 5/10,000ths of a second, it pulsates an unimaginable 7.2 million times per hour, while the central chronograph hand turns 20 times a second. A technical masterpiece. Now you can time the future.

49 48 / 49 TAG HEUER CARRERA mikrograph Two beating hearts, one single purpose: to be the only one able to measure 1/100th of a second on the market. One integrated movement, two chains. Dual-chain technology powers the TAG Heuer Carrera Mikrograph, which means the chronograph chain never affects the precision of the watch, or vice-versa. It is the world s first chronograph equipped with a flying central hand accurate to 1/100th of a second. Inspired by the 1916 Heuer Mikrograph, with a case fashioned from rose gold, and a brown or anthracite dial, these very limited editions of only 150 pieces each marry revolutionary technology and classic styling. A game-changing innovation combined with an iconic classical design. CAR5041.FC8178

50 MONACO v4 WAW2080.FC6288 Reinventing tradition. The shape is familiar, but everything else has changed. Revolutionary belt-driven transmission and linear mass, and the world s smallest transmission belts. This is high-performance automobile micro-engineered technology. The sapphire crystal front and back make viewing the mechanism as thrilling as looking at a high-technology racing engine in operation. Versions are available in prestigious rose gold or ultralight titanium with ceramic on the sides. Being different is what TAG Heuer does. Be different.
