Just when you thought that Basel was over, we can tell you today a little about a very special watch coming from TAG Heuer later this year- the TAG Heuer Mikrotourbillon S- yes, a Tourbillon (and a double Tourbillon at that) from TAG Heuer. Even better news for a small group of well-heeled collectors is that this is not a concept watch, but one that will be made in small numbers later this year. The watch is yet another development of the TAG Heuer Mikro platform and another complex high-precision …

Here is TAG Heuer’s new Concept watch for Basel 2012- the TAG Heuer Mikrogirder 10000 featuring a unique Chronograph movement that vibrates at 7.2 million beats per hour allowing time to be read to a precision of 5/ 10,000th of a second. Suffering from Deja vu yet? Didn’t TAG Heuer already shown us the same watch with different colours back in January?

The answer is yes and no. The new Mikrogirder 10000 doesn’t measure time any more precisely than the Mikrogirder 2000, but it does offer several meaningful improvements over the …

Meet the TAG Heuer Mikrogirder 2000 Concept watch- a dual-assortment, ultra high-beat watch with a Chronograph beating at 7.2 million times every hour, meaning that the watch can time events to 5/ 10,000th of a second. Perhaps the most surprising aspect of the new TAG Heuer Mikrogirder is not that TAG Heuer have put out a watch twice as fast as the Mikrotimer- it’s the fact that they’ve done it with a movement that- again- reinvents mechanical movements. The 2011 Mikrotimer had no balance wheel. The 2009 Pendulum had no …

Next week is the first chance to see the 2012 TAG Heuer watches, with the company holding an event in Geneva from 16- 19 January. We already know that the 2012 Formula 1 Series will be unveiled in Geneva, but it wouldn’t be a launch event without a new concept watch from TAG Heuer.
TAG Hear have released the image below and are promising a “game-changing new regulator breaking all high-frequency records“.
There’s very little given away by this image, other than it looks like the watch is a development of …

With the benefit of hindsight, we can now say that the Monaco V4 Concept of 2004 marked a turning point for TAG Heuer. Yes, TH had shown some innovative Concept watches before (The Micrograph of 2002 and the Monaco 69 in 2003), but the audacious V4 was the first sign that the “new” TAG Heuer was serious about re-establishing its credentials as a manufacturer and designer of advanced mechanical movements.
Since 2004 TAG has shown a brace of innovative movements- the Calibre 360, the Pendulum, the Mikrograph and Mikrotimer- but it …

Imagine if a few weeks after delivering its 336 km/h FF supercar, Ferrari announced a new concept car with a top speed of 3,360 km/h. Ten times faster, but exponentially more challenging to get this ten-fold increase in speed.
TAG Heuer have achieved the watch-making equivalent of this feat with the announcement today of the TAG Heuer Mikrotimer Flying 1000, a new in-house concept watch capable of 1/1000th accuracy. You may recall that the Mikrograph set new record back in January for being the first mechanical chronograph to achieve 1/100th accuracy, …
