Welcome to Monaco May. As we count down the days to the launch of the first limited edition 50th Anniversary Monaco, we have a special series of posts for you this month all focused on TAG Heuer’s most iconic model: the Monaco.

Monaco (TAG Heuer)
TAG Heuer reintroduced the Monaco in 1997 as part of its re-edition collection. The CS2110 was a huge success and inspired TAG Heuer to make the Monaco part of the mainstream TAG Heuer range, rather than just as a Heuer retro novelty. The Monaco range expanded over the years to include a smaller, more modern case design, as well as inspiring bold new watches such as the Monaco V4.
Going forward the Monaco collection will be reduced to a single model, the McQueen inspired blue-dial with the white registers and the famous Calibre 11 movement.

Up Close with the Heuer Monaco Calibre 11 Special Editions
Things have been awfully quiet of late for fans of the Monaco. We’ve seen the wonderful Monaco Twenty-Four and the black-dial Calibre 12 models all discontinued, leaving only the blue Calibre 11 and Calibre 12 models to keep the fire burning for TAG Heuer’s most iconic watch. And while the 50th Anniversary of the original 1133B Monaco looms large in… Read More

30 Years of TAG Heuer- The 5 Most Important Watches
This year marks an important milestone for TAG Heuer, albeit one that so far has gone unrecognised and unnoticed by the entire watch world: 2016 is the 30th anniversary of TAG Heuer.

But for those… Read More

First Look: Heuer Monaco Calibre 11 “McQueen” Chronograph
Contrary to popular opinion, TAG Heuer’s revived Monaco CS2110 in 1997 was not a true re-edition. Yes, it was the first time since the mid-1970s that the square Monaco was part of the TAG Heuer range, but rather than reproducing a facsimile of a specific historic Monaco model, TAG Heuer instead chose to develop a new dial design for the… Read More
