		<description><![CDATA[As those of you who love cars will know, McLaren Automotive will launch its MP4-12C sportscar in 2011, its first new model since the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and, you could argue, its first proper car since the seminal McLaren F1 of 1992. The good news is that just like the McLaren F1 and the SLR, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Few modern TAG Heuer watches have left as much of an impression that the first time that I saw the Monaco Vintage (CAW2118), which was released in 2005 as a limited edition of 4000 watches to mark what would have been the 75th birthday of Steve McQueen.

It was an outrageous design: a crisp white dial (one of the first times a Monaco has been sold with a white dial) matched with bold blue and red stripes on the right hand-side of the dial and red sub-dials and hands. The design of course was based on the driving suit worn by Steve McQueen in the 1971 movie Le Mans, which is the movie that would eventually make the Monaco the iconic watch it is today.

The success of the Monaco Vintage meant that it was inevitable that others versions would follow, presenting TAG Heuer with the same dilemma that any watch company with a hit Limited Edition faces: How many Limited Edition versions with the same design theme can be made before the magic is lost?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The TAG Heuer Link range traces its origins back to the S/el (&#8220;Sports and Elegance&#8221;) watch that was introduced in 1987. Designed by Eddie Schopfer- the same man responsible for the 2000 series- the S/el came to symbolise 1980s/ early 1990s TAG Heuer&#8230;.for better or worse. The S/el was re-designed and re-named &#8220;Link&#8221; in 1999, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many of the posts on Calibre 11 focus on the deep relationship that Heuer/ TAG Heuer has with motor racing- and in particular with Formula 1. You only have to look through a Heuer catalogue from the 1970s to see model after model named after famous racing tracks scattered around exotic parts of the world.

But despite this motor racing focus, Heuer/ TAG Heuer also has a rich history of supporting other sports where accurate timing is essential, such as Diving, Skiing and in particular, Sailing. Of course there are many parallels between motor racing and sailing- cutting edge technology, the quest for speed and the ability to rapidly consume vast quantities of cash.

In addition to requiring standard chronograph timing functions essential for motor racing, Sailing also lends itself to other complications such as tide indicators and specialised timing functions, so it's no surprise that Heuer produced several Sailing watches.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While the internet offers collectors and prospective buyers a great way of researching and finding watches, there is still nothing like looking through a nice printed catalogue to get you in the buying mood. In looking through one of these catalogues, it was interesting to see the mix of new technologies and materials that TAG Heuer offer- mechanical quartz, titanium and carbon fibre.

But while you might think that these technologies are spread throughout the 2010 catalogue (Calibre S, Grand Carrera Titanium and Day-Date Carrera Carbon fibre), it was actually a 1983 catalogue and a single watch that had all of these features- the Heuer Titanium series.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[TAG Heuer has made some small- yet meaningful- changes to the design of the Carrera Calibre 1887 ahead of its release.

The first change is to the bezel, where following feedback from retailers, the tachymetre scale has been dropped to give the watch a cleaner, "minimalist" look.

The second change is to the to the texture of the sub-dials, which on the the Black Carrera 1887 shown at Baselworld had the same matte finish as the rest of the dial. TAG Heuer has now added the familiar subtle, circular patterning, providing greater differentiation between the dial and the sub-dial. It should be noted that the White Carrera Calibre 1887 at Baselworld already had this patterning, so perhaps even in March TAG Heuer were considering changes to the final design.

While the sub-dial change is a subtle improvement that most won't notice, the bezel change is far more significant and makes a real improvement to what was already an elegant design, making the dial appear larger.]]></description>

A new design-template for the Aquaracer was established with the 500m watch launched in 2009, and these new models continue the themes- vertical ridge-lines on the dial, applied TAG Heuer logo and hour-markers and the rubber-ridged bezel.]]></description>
