1. The TAG Heuer 150th Anniversary Grand CARRERA Calibre 17 RS2 Chronograph and MERIDIIST Luxury Box Limited Edition 1860-2010

   • 12th January 2010 @ 11:35

   To celebrate its first 150 years at the leading-edge of Swiss design, TAG Heuer has launched an ultra-exclusive gift box edition of its breakthrough Grand CARRERA Calibre 17 RS2 Chronograph, the first mechanical chronograph with double Rotating Systems, and the MERIDIIST, the world’s only Swiss-engineered communications instrument. The avant-garde chronograph and communication instrument, redesigned in a special black and orange limited edition, are audaciously housed in a handsome steamer-trunk coffret designed by Paris master craftsman Fred Pinel.

   Two of the most advanced creations ever launched by TAG Heuer, enclosed within an artisanal masterpiece of timeless luxury, the TAG Heuer 150th Anniversary Limited Edition 1860-2010 is a “time capsule” tribute to the core values of the legendary Swiss house — unparalleled performance, precision, and luxury prestige.

   The celebratory edition is limited to 150 pieces — one for each year of TAG Heuer’s exceptional history.

2. THE CALIBRE 1887 - A new TAG Heuer movement produced and assembled in-house

   • 12th January 2010 @ 11:01

   At the occasion of its 150th anniversary and only a few weeks after commercializing the Monaco V4, TAG Heuer launches a new chronograph, produced and assembled in-house at its Swiss production sites in Cornol (Jura) and La Chaux de Fonds (Neuchâtel). Based on an existing platform developed and patented in the late 90’s by SII (Seiko Instruments Inc.) of which TAG Heuer has acquired the intellectual property usage rights, the Calibre 1887 was completely industrialized by the TAG Heuer Research and Development Team. The team also significantly re-developed some of its key components to match the new high-end Swiss assortment and increase its precision and reliability. The project has already generated 45 new production and assembly jobs.
