TAG Heuer at Watches and Wonders 2024
TAG Heuer's latest unveiling at Watches and Wonders 2024, sees the Swiss luxury watchmaker showcasing its newest timepieces.
This year, TAG Heuer has unveiled five new additions to its Carrera collection: the Carrera skipper, a Carrera chronograph, and three Carrera date. These latest additions to the TAG Heuer family represent the pinnacle of Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship and showcase the brand's commitment to innovation and luxury.
TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph
After a year of enthusiastic celebration and significant releases, TAG Heuer continues to honour its legacy by pushing the boundaries of iconic design with the latest additions to its esteemed Carrera line. Revealed at Watches & Wonders, this timepiece merges historical reverence with contemporary design, propelling the revered Carrera collection to new levels of distinction.
The latest TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph showcases the advanced in-house chronograph movement, the Heuer 02 (Ref. TH20-00). This robust movement boasts bi-directional winding, a novel shield-shaped rotor, and an impressive 80-hour power reserve, ensuring exceptional performance.
Expanding its collection, TAG Heuer introduces a bi-complex panda aesthetic with a steel bracelet and contrasting flange, offering a fresh take on the iconic design. Furthermore, the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph is now available as a connected watch face, seamlessly merging the legacy of clarity onto the beloved TAG Heuer Connected platform, embodying Jack Heuer’s enduring vision in the digital domain. This exceptional timepiece not only honours the rich heritage of the Carrera line but also encapsulates the innovation and forward-thinking ethos that define TAG Heuer's legacy.
TAG Heuer Carrera Skipper
A truly thrilling release is the TAG Heuer Carrera Skipper. Now available with a case fashioned from 18K 5N rose gold.
The rose gold Skipper draws inspiration from the popular glass box design introduced in early 2023 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the iconic Carrera chronograph. It is driven by the Heuer 02 (Ref. TH20-06) in-house calibre, a modified version of the Heuer 02 movement tailored specifically for regatta timing.
The creation of the 39mm case in 18K 5N rose gold, adorned with meticulous brushed and polished finishes, imbues the Skipper with a heightened sense of refinement, appealing to discerning collectors, whilst its functionality as a fully capable sailing watch remains uncompromised.
Like its counterparts in the glass box Carrera series, such as the Carrera Chrono Sprint x Porsche, the Carrera Tourbillon, and the Carrera Chronograph, the Carrera Skipper incorporates an innovative curved flange dial beneath its crystal, ensuring exceptional readability under all circumstances, particularly crucial during regatta events for timing the critical 15-minute window before the starting signal.
In terms of aesthetics, the Carrera Skipper pays homage to the historic Skipper Reference 7754 from 1968, featuring a sea-blue primary dial complemented by two sharply contrasting subdials - a 12-hour counter in Intrepid Teal and a 15-minute regatta counter divided into three, five-minute segments distinguished by different hues.
TAG Heuer Carrera Date
TAG Heuer reveals three exquisite additions to its prestigious Carrera Date collection, each embodying the epitome of feminine sophistication. Comprising three dazzling 36mm timepieces that embody the brand's dedication to impeccable design and comfort.
Expanding upon the success of the 36mm models introduced in 2023, this latest release represents a celebration of subtle femininity. Crafted from luxurious materials such as 18K 5N rose gold, Mother-of-Pearl, and diamonds, these watches strike a delicate balance between luxury and sophistication.
For aficionados familiar with the heritage of the TAG Heuer Carrera, recognising that this diameter pays homage to the original design's inception in 1963, enthusiasts appreciate its timeless appeal that transcends generations. All three timepieces are equipped with the latest Caliber 7 automatic movement, boasting a 56-hour power reserve and featuring a distinctive 6 o'clock angled date display.
Maintaining a thickness between 10.20 mm and 10.60 mm ensures a well-balanced feel without compromising on the graceful design. With the introduction of these latest offerings, TAG Heuer not only expands its portfolio but also redefines the epitome of feminine watches, reaffirming the brand's unwavering commitment to excellence.
