TAG Heuer Carrera – 50th Anniversary
Fifty years ago an icon was born when Jack Heuer created the first TAG Heuer Carrera to
honour an epic race, the Carrera Panamericana. In 2013 we are celebrating that anniversary in true TAG Heuer style. Setting the pace is the Calibre 1887 movement, designed and
created entirely in-house. Innovative choices in materials and finishings enrich the TAG Heuer
Carrera’s classic design, and gold versions add star quality. The legend races on.

CALIBRE 1887
CHRONOGRAPH
CAR2A11.FC6313
Powered by the intricate in-house manufactured Calibre 1887 movement and inspired
by the best-selling Calibre 16 design, this is
a classic reborn. Mounted on a fine-brushed
and polished 43mm steel case, the bezel is
ultraresistant ceramic, while the caseback
is unscratchable sapphire. The dial comes in
understated black, or elegant anthracite with
a sunray effect. The new H-shaped bracelet
brings a novel touch to this high-performance
timepiece.

FLYBACK CHRONOGRAPH
Flyback functionality meets dramatic design
with this legendary Calibre 36 in a TAG
Heuer Carrera case. Starting, stopping and
resetting the chronograph is child’s play with
a single touch of the flyback button. The dual,
two-tone dial, with sunray effect on the inner
dial, focuses your eye where it matters and
looks fabulous. This design is complemented
by a new polished and fine-brushed steel
case, with sapphire caseback.

Absolute refinement. Absolute subtlety.
Housed in a larger 43mm case, and whispering refinement in every detail, from the rose
gold colored Arabic numerals, the minimalist
dial and subtly recessed sub-dials to the elegant minuterie on the flange. The H-shaped
3-row multi-faceted steel bracelet with alternate polished and fine-brushed finishings is
new to this classic. Subtlety can be compelling.

Heritage and innovation in perfect harmony.
The in-house manufactured Calibre 1887 movement in a design celebrating TAG Heuer’s
mastery in watchmaking. Arabic numerals
and hands in royal blue, the ‘flinqué’ pattern
on the silver dial, the nostalgic font all combine to make a bold statement, reinforced by
a highly visible TAG Heuer logo. Now with a
new curved 5-row fine-brushed and polished
steel bracelet or blue alligator strap. This is
luxurious heritage with a twist.

The new dress watch for ladies.
A star shining brighter than ever. Cameron Diaz adores the new Link Lady timepieces for their
larger 34.5mm case and their automatic Calibre 7 movement. The enlarged case provides a
more majestic stage for the exquisite dial and bezel finishings. The S-shaped bracelet exerts its
seductive charm more powerfully than ever. Beauty has never been more glamorous than this.

Gold. Diamonds. Mother-of-pearl. A trio fit
for a star. Solid 18-carat gold adds its timeless
appeal to the exquisite case, and alternates
with steel on the seductive S-shaped bracelet. Eleven diamonds shine out from the milky
mother-of-pearl dial or the rippling water of
the guilloche. Perfect feminine alchemy, housed
in a 34.5mm case, with a Calibre 7 automatic
movement.

knowledge and know-how meet and embrace a living history, that is centuries old. This is Haute Horlogerie by TAG Heuer. A
state of mind that exploits simultaneously the pioneering achievements of 17th century watchmakers and the most awe-inspiring
technologies of today in one common goal: to push conventional Haute Horlogerie beyond the limits of the possible.

mikrotourbillons
When technology gives a virtuoso performance. Entirely conceived, manufactured and
assembled in-house at our factory in La Chauxde-Fonds, this high-end timepiece is not only
the world’s fastest, most accurate dual tourbillon chronograph ever, but the only one able
to measure and display 1/100th of a second.
The chronograph tourbillon rotates an incredible 12 times per minute, beating a dizzying
360,000 times per hour, while the watch tourbillon, certified Chronometer (COSC), beats at
4Hz. And thanks to the TAG Heuer Carrera
MikrotourbillonS’ dual-chain architecture the
watch does not affect the chronograph movement, providing outstanding precision. Luxury
combines with awe-inspiring technology to
create this masterpiece. The ultimate watchmaking complication, entirely patented.

mikrogirder
The future looks different. By scrapping the
traditional balance wheel and hairspring,
invented three centuries ago, the TAG Heuer
Carrera Mikrogirder has revolutionized
watchmaking for ever. Powered by a pioneering patented linear vibrating system, it
was awarded the prestigious Aiguille d’Or
at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève,
the highest distinction in luxury watchmaking.
Measuring 5/10,000ths of a second, it pulsates an unimaginable 7.2 million times per
hour, while the central chronograph hand
turns 20 times a second. A technical masterpiece. Now you can time the future.

mikrograph
Two beating hearts, one single purpose: to
be the only one able to measure 1/100th
of a second on the market. One integrated
movement, two chains. Dual-chain technology
powers the TAG Heuer Carrera Mikrograph,
which means the chronograph chain never affects the precision of the watch, or vice-versa. It
is the world’s first chronograph equipped with
a flying central hand accurate to 1/100th of
a second. Inspired by the 1916 Heuer Mikrograph, with a case fashioned from rose gold,
and a brown or anthracite dial, these very
limited editions of only 150 pieces each marry
revolutionary technology and classic styling. A
game-changing innovation combined with an
iconic classical design.

Reinventing tradition. The shape is familiar, but
everything else has changed. Revolutionary
belt-driven transmission and linear mass, and
the world’s smallest transmission belts. This is
high-performance automobile micro-engineered technology. The sapphire crystal front and
back make viewing the mechanism as thrilling
as looking at a high-technology racing engine
in operation. Versions are available in prestigious rose gold or ultralight titanium with ceramic on the sides. Being different is what TAG
Heuer does. Be different.
