DESCRIPTION
- “AVANT-GARDE CHRONOGRAPHS INSPIRED BY MOTOR RACING”
For almost a century, TAG Heuer’s authentic link to the world of motor sports has fueled its unique creative drive, producing some of the most innovative timepieces in watchmaking history
From 100th of a second in 1916 to 10,000th of a second in this year’s Indy 500: a historic partnership and a extrordinary source of inspiration.
When it comes to authentic connections between the Avant-Garde of luxury Swiss watchmaking and the demanding, high-prestige world of professional motor sports, TAG Heuer rules the road! Ever since its foundation in 1860 and invention of the oscillating pinion in 1882, the brand has confirmed its unique position as car racing’s leading timekeeper while creating the world’s most coveted and prestigious sports chronographs.
In 1911, TAG Heuer launched its famous “Time of Trip,” the first dashboard chronograph developed for automobiles. This was followed in 1916 by the Micrograph, the first mechanical stopwatch able to accurately measure times to within 1/100th of a second, and in 1933, the Autavia, the first chronograph dashboard for both automobiles and aviation. The legend had just begun... In 1966, TAG Heuer’s Microtimer system wrote a new page in the history of timekeeping by mastering precision to 1,000th of a second. From here on, nothing could stop Tag Heuer’s climb to the top: “the watch brand of reference in motor racing”. It was named official timekeeper of the Scuderia Ferrari in the 1970s, of McLaren from the 1980s, and finally of the entire Formula One World Championships from 1992 to 2003.
TAG Heuer: The Official Avant-Garde Timekeeper
TAG Heuer has always been the most precise Swiss watchmaking brand in terms of research into the mastering of time down to its most infinitesimal fractions. Between 1971-79, as sponsor and official timekeeper of the Scuderia Ferrari, TAG Heuer was associated with legendary drivers like Jacky Ickx, Niki Lauda, Gilles Villeneuve, Jody Scheckter, Mario Andretti, Clay Regazzoni, and Carlos Reutemann. In 1985, the famous TAG Heuer – McLaren partnership began and evolved into one of the longest successful alliances between a Formula One Racing team and a sponsor in the history of Formula One.
With McLaren, TAG Heuer has won six Constructors World Championship titles, eight Drivers titles (three with Alain Prost in 1985, 1986 and 1989;three with Ayrton Senna in 1988, 1990 and 1991;and two with Mika Häkkinen in 1998 and 1999). TAG Heuer’s performances earned it also the position of the Official Timekeeper of the F1 Championship from 1992 to 2003, and since 2004, the Official Timekeeper of the Indy Racing League and the legendary Indy 500 race.
Since 2005, Juan Pablo Montoya became a TAG McLaren Mercedes driver and TAG Heuer ambassador, joining his teammate and fellow ambassador Kimi Räikkönen, 8 times Grand Prix Winner from 2005. This unique and envied duo of ambassadors will be defending TAG Heuer colors in the 2006 Formula One World Championship.
2006: Avant-Garde chronographs inspired by the legends of motor racing
TAG Heuer has long been the watchmaker of choice among legendary drivers like Fangio, Siffert and Senna, and among passionate motor racing fans from the world over. This season is no exception, with a number of new models directly inspired by the elite corps of motor racing.
“Carrera Tachymeter Racing”
1964 – 2006: History of a myth
Since its creation by Jack Heuer in 1964, the Carrera chronograph has been one of TAG Heuer’s most iconic models, celebrated as much for its design as for its technological prowess. It derives its name from the Carrera Panamericana Mexico, a famously difficult car race of the 1950s, among whose participants was the legendary Argentinean driver Juan Manuel Fangio who won the last edition. Worn on the wrist by most F1 drivers in the 1970s, the Carrera has become the must-have chronograph of watch collectors and die-hard fans of motor racing.
TAG Heuer has recently released several new models of this emblematic timepiece, all in keeping with the elegant, sporty and authentic character of the original. Two new Carrera tachymeters were launched at the end of 2005: a model with chocolate-brown dial, tachymeter and bracelet; and a model with blue dial and tachymeter and steel bracelet.
The brand-new Carrera Tachymeter Racing is targeted at fans of strong sensations. Furnished with a tachymeter on its fixed bezel for calculating speed, it pays homage to the great motor racing legends and “gentleman drivers.” Its rubber bracelet, partially perforated, is inspired by the mythic universe of racecar driving in the 1950s, and the red needles and massive beveled indexes on the black dial call to mind the speed counters on classic racecar dashboards.
This new sporty chronograph will be available in April 2006. More than a new version of a model that already enjoys cult status, this new addition to the distinguished line perpetuates its historic heritage and the passion that fuels it. More sporty than ever, the Carrera Tachymeter Racing is, like all Carrera chronographs, an object of desire and audacity, timeless and indispensable.
