The colors visible on the dial of the TAG Heuer Chronograph Tourbillon evoke the history of the Carrera and the thrilling scenery of the icy slopes of the Alps.
TAG Heuer has discreetly introduced a limited edition of the Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon with a striking blue panda dial.
Following the teal green version announced at this year’s LVMH Watch Week and the blue edition unveiled a year earlier at Watches and Wonders in Geneva, the collection welcomes a striking two-tone model. This chronograph not only embodies the iconic history of the Carrera but also evokes the thrilling scenery of the icy slopes of the Alps.
The pristine white dial is enhanced by the minute track and sunken subdials in a deep blue. Located at the 6 o’clock position, the skeletonized tourbillon is a testament to the Maison’s precision and haute horlogerie, while reflecting “the pure and bright atmosphere of the Alps”.
A bright red central seconds hand breaks the harmonious color palette, subtly echoing the color of the TAG Heuer logo on the watch face.
Within its 42 mm diameter stainless steel case, the in-house Calibre TH20-09 offers up to 65 hours of power reserve. The watch is completed by a blue rally-style leather strap that harmonizes with its sporty spirit.
Limited to 50 pieces, the Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon with blue panda dial has a price of CHF 24,650 (around USD 27,726). For more information, please visit the TAG Heuer official website.
A name that resonates strongly in the world of haute horlogerie, TAG Heuer has a rich history dating back to 1860. Founded by Edouard Heuer in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, the brand has forged a path of innovation and precision, becoming a global benchmark in the field of chronographs.
From its inception, Heuer stood out for its pioneering spirit. In 1882, it patented its first chronograph and in 1887 perfected the “oscillating pinion” system, still used today. This breakthrough allowed for the instantaneous start and stop of the chronograph, a crucial function for precise timekeeping.
The 1910s marked an important milestone with the creation of the “Time of Trip”, the first onboard chronograph for cars and aviation. This ingenious device established Heuer as a key ally in the world of sport and competition.
Throughout the 20th century, Heuer continued its successful trajectory, launching iconic models such as the Carrera in 1963, a watch that became a symbol of motorsport. In 1969, the brand took a crucial step forward by introducing the world’s first automatic chronographs, a technological revolution that positioned it at the forefront of the watchmaking industry.
True to its sporting heritage, TAG Heuer has partnered with prestigious competitions such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans and Formula 1, consolidating its link to the world of speed and precision.
Beyond its impeccable history, TAG Heuer is characterized by its constant innovation. The brand has pioneered the development of new mechanisms, materials, and technologies, as evidenced by its foray into the digital age with the launch of the first luxury connected watch in 2015.
