After a COVID- enforced break last year, the Formula 1 cars are back on the streets of sunny Monaco this weekend for F1’s annual glamour race. Also back, but only one month after covers were whipped off the last short-run Monaco, is a limited edition TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph- the 2021 TAG Heuer Monaco Titan Special Edition. 2021 is proving… Read More

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.

There’s no question that the world’s watchmakers have decided that Green is the “new Black” when it comes to watch dials. A couple of years ago Blue was the new Black, and there’s a push by some to make Red the newest of new Blacks, but for 2021 Green is where it’s at.

TAG Heuer Monaco Black Dial Heuer 02- In Depth Review (Ref. CBL2113)
Over the last 12 months, the permanent TAG Heuer men’s Monaco collection has consisted of two watches, both with a blue dial- the light blue Calibre 11 CAW211P and the dark blue Heuer 02 Monaco, reference CBL2111.

One thing that we’ve learnt about the TAG Heuer Monaco over the years is that each year we can expect a number of limited edition models to complement the classic blue-dial “McQueen” model that is the mainstay of the Monaco range. Last year was a banner year for these limited editions, with five Calibre 11 models and a single Calibre… Read More

TAG Heuer Monaco Heuer 02 Blue Dial- In Depth Review (Ref. CBL2111)
It’s not every day that TAG Heuer updates the Monaco.

Timed to coincide with the Monaco’s 50th Anniversary,… Read More

Collector’s Corner- TAG Heuer Monaco V4 Platinum as a Daily Wearer
When it comes to wearing special watches, collectors tend to fall into two camps. In the red corner we have the Safe Queens- collectors who keep the plastic sticker on the back of the watch, keep every sales receipt, bag and booklet and wear the watch once a month, but only inside on temperate days. The aim here is to… Read More

TAG Heuer Monaco 18k Gold Chronometer- In Depth Review (Ref. CW5140)
Everyone knows that sports watches are supposed to be made from steel. It’s not just a question of aesthetics, but also practicality- stainless steel is harder than most precious metals (including 18K Gold), meaning that your steel sports watch is less likely to be nicked and damaged than its gold equivalent. And yet, there is something special about the TAG… Read More
