New case, new construction, new design and new calibre. Presenting the TAG Heuer
Carrera - Heuer 01. A Manufacture chronograph symbolically christened the Heuer 01 in
honour of the founder, Edouard Heuer. 01 because it represents the markedly horological
development of the calibre 1887, on which the backbone of the new collection will be
based.
Its supremely clean new design reveals the chronograph controls and the openworked
date disc on the dial side. On the case-back, its red column wheel - a bold visual anchor - the
skeleton chronograph bridge and the black weight also draw the eye into the mechanism.
The subject of continuous improvement and optimisation over five years, it has attained a
very high level of quality while its production costs have been carefully managed, making it
the only 100% Manufacture Chronograph available for less than CHF 5000.
It features a new generation TAG Heuer case. Made from steel for greater shock
resistance, it is constructed differently, no longer the single piece traditionally used
by TAG Heuer, but modular with 12 different components. This design opens up a huge
range of possibilities, with an infinite combination of materials, colours, treatments and
finishes. The piece is completed by a strap in perforated black rubber for a stylish, sporty
look highly characteristic of TAG Heuer, yet with a renewed style thanks to its interplay of
transparency and depth effects on both sides.
Finally, the Carrera Heuer 01 symbolises the continuity in investment and creativity made
by TAG Heuer, which has been an avant-garde brand (Swiss Avant-Garde since 1860) since
it was founded in 1860, and sincerely wishes to remain so. An investment of our strengths
and resources to ensure we remain avant-garde in our spirit, culture and philosophy.
