DESCRIPTION

• Beyond the Tourbillon…
  
  Pioneering avant-garde requires imagination boldly expressed. Micro-blades instead of hairsprings. Belts instead of gears. Magnets instead of hairsprings. Never because it is new, always because it is better. Faster, more precise, more reliable, more beautiful. The quest for simplicity, not complexity...
  
  The TAG Heuer Carrera MikroPendulum 100th-of-a-Second Chronograph
   
  
  
  AVANT-GARDE HAUTE HORLOGERIE, the award-winning TAG Heuer atelier behind some of the 21st-century watchmaking’s biggest breakthroughs, delivers a double slam this Baselworld by commercializing the first-ever magnet-driven 100th-of-a-second chronograph & conceptualizing the first-ever double magnetic tourbillon.
  
  Over the last decade, TAG Heuer’s Avant-Garde Haute Horlogerie workshop--an 25-person team of scientists, engineers and designers--has pulled off some of the most revolutionary coups in watchmaking history. The core of that achievement is its high-precision MIKRO Series, a platform of powerful technological innovations that turn many of horology’s centuries-old hypotheses about how watches must work on their head.
  
  Among the atelier’s most recent breakthroughs:
  
  The TAG Heuer Carrera Mikrograph (2011): the first integrated column wheel mechanical 1/100th of a second wrist chronograph with flying central hand display.
  
  The TAG Heuer Carrera Mikrotimer Flying 1000 (2011): a new in-house concept watch capable of 1/1000th accuracy.
  
  The TAG Heuer Carrera Mikrogirder (2012): winner of the Aiguille d’Or, watchmaking’s most prestigious award, the only chronograph precise to 5/10,000th second, equipped with a never-before-seen regulating system made of micro blades that beats at an incredible 1,000 hertz
  
  The TAG Heuer Carrera MikrotourbillonS (2012): a dual-chained, dual-frequency, double-barreled and double-tourbillon chronograph--the fastest, most accurate tourbillon ever made.
  
  This year’s TAG Heuer Baselworld breakthroughs are based on another one-of-a-kind innovation from the grand masters: the Carrera Pendulum (2010), the world’s first escapement to work with magnets instead of a traditional hairspring.
  
  This revolutionary COSC-certified regulator overturns 3 centuries of conventional watchmaking tradition. In a classical spiral hairspring system (invented by Christian Huygens in 1675), the effect of gravity due to mass is a dominant issue. With the Pendulum, the problem no longer even exists--there is no loss of amplitude. The result is a significant increase in precision (division of time) and performance (frequency accuracy and stability).
  
  Still, the original TAG Heuer Pendulum Concept posed problems that many thought insurmountable. In particular, thermal sensibility: magnetic fields are influenced by temperature differences, which affect performance. Over the last 3 years, however, TAG Heuer’s scientists and engineers have worked on this problem, experimenting with new magnetic atoms, metal alloys and carefully dimensioned and machined geometries. The result is a new overturning of conventional wisdom: an invisible, magnet-driven spiral that moves the balance wheel at a low amplitude and high frequency that ensure a perfect accuracy and stability. Overall, the magnetic oscillator’s performance comes close to matching traditional hairsprings of the highest quality. Even better--it is much easier to manufacture and impervious to shock, gravity and geometric deformations.
  
  For the time being, this technology is only commercially applicable for frequencies higher than 10 Hz. Fortunately, this is TAG Heuer’s uncontested domain: the brand has completely dominated the world of ultra-precision for years.
  
  To showcase this advancement, TAG Heuer is presenting a double launch of the new chronograph technology at Baselworld: one commercially available, the other in the concept stage. Backed by many TAG Heuer patents, both are delivered in the motor-sports inspired chassis of the brand’s iconic Carrera collection.
  
  
  The TAG Heuer Carrera MikroPendulum
  
  AN EXCLUSIVE TAG HEUER PATENTED TECHNOLOGY: THE FIRST HIGH-FREQUENCY CHRONOGRAPH REGULATED BY MAGNETS
  
  The first high-frequency chronograph moved by magnets, the TAG Heuer Carrera MikroPendulum is inspired by the TAG Heuer Carrera Mikrograph, the first integrated column wheel mechanical 100/s wrist chronograph with a flying central hand display. Like all MIKRO creations, it is a dual chain platform with a balance-wheel system for the watch (28,800 beats per hour (4Hz) with a 42 hour power reserve), and a hairspring-less pendulum system for the chronograph (360,000 beats per hour (50hz) with a 90 minute power reserve). The crown rewinds the chronograph: the watch is run on a classic COSC-certified automatic movement powered by an oscillating weight. There are 371 components in the dual-chain structure, each designed, crafted and assembled by TAG Heuer’s Haute Horlogerie team of master watchmakers and engineers.
  
  The 45mm case is in sandblasted, fine-brushed and polished titanium. The Grade 5 metal is also used for the pushbuttons and rubberized crown. The curved sapphire crystal is double anti-reflective curved sapphire crystal. The anthracite grey dial is fine-brushed on one side with Côte-de-Genève finishing under the pendulum--the first-ever magnetic oscillator without hairspring, which is on proud display at 9 o’clock. The chronograph minutes counter is at 3 o’clock, the chronograph seconds at 6, and the chronograph power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock. The 100ths of a second are displayed by a sweeping red central hand--and measured out on an a 1/100th of a second scale on the anthracite flange. A high-tech strap in soft, hand-sewn anthracite alligator with black titanium folding clasp finishes the sporting look. This is classic, standard-bearer Carrera, always contemporary, always at the leading edge of technology and design.
