So, another year slips into the rear-view mirror, providing an excuse for lazy writers everywhere to crank out an annual “Best Of” list. If you expected any different from Calibre 11, then prepare to be disappointed, as we take a look back over the year that was for TAG Heuer.  We posted more than 50 stories this year on watches ranging from under $1000 to over $70,000, looking at vintage watches, new watches, and even one that never made it into production.
The Launches
2012 saw four key launches for TAG Heuer- …

Over the last couple of weeks you may have noticed a new section added to Calibre 11- an archive of TAG Heuer catalogues stretching from the first days of TAG Heuer in 1985 through to the modern series.

In addition to the annual catalogues showing the whole collection, there are also a series of model specific catalogs.

At the moment, there are more than 40 catalogues uploaded, with more to come over the next few weeks.
The full list of Catalogues and Price Lists can be found here.
Thanks to those who have helped …

That first post from 16 July 2009 is here- and I’m sure you’ll notice that I’m not quite as efficient with the word-count these days.

As 2010 comes to a close, so too does TAG Heuer’s 150th anniversary- a year with new releases, a concept watch with magnets, electric cars and the landmark sale of 81 vintage Heuer watches. So settle back with  your Christmas leftovers and a glass of yuletide cheer as we both look back over 2010 and look forward to see what TAG has planned for its 151st year.

Favourite Watch
There were many high-profile releases in 2010- the new Carrera 1887, the Aquaracer 500m Chronograph, the Aquaracer Full Black, the Monaco Vintage and …

Welcome to the new and improved Calibre 11: full-fat and with 20% more crunch.
The idea behind the new layout is to make it easier to find stories on the watches that you’re interested in and to make the reading experience more of a “Magazine” feel, rather than just a list of posts.
Some of  the most popular posts have covered the background behind a particular watch series, tracing back its origins and design influences- there will be more of these stories in the coming months.
So what’s changed …

This weekend marks the first anniversary of Calibre 11, the first post being a simple photo of my Monaco 1133B.
Since that first post, a further 107 stories have followed, drawing more than 500 of your comments and more than 200,000 hits recorded on the site.
More important than these numbers, writing Calibre 11 has been a real joy and pleasure and been a great way to meet fellow collectors, writers and enthusiasts. A big part of the motivation to “keep going” has been the great feedback and support from all of …
