TAG Heuer Monaco Mikrograph

TAG Heuer recently announced their unique submission for the Watch Only charity auction that takes place in Monaco this September. It’s only natural that TAG Heuer opted for their classic 43mm stainless squared case design from their Monaco collection, but this is no ordinary addition. This watch contains TAG Heuer’s latest masterpiece movement that they presented at this year’s Baselworld, the Mikrograph. The mikrograph is the first movement with accurate 1/100th of a second capacity.

TAG Heuer’s Watch Only contribution looks like a 1960’s vision of the future with its streamlined retro case design. The dial is surprisingly clean in spite of all of its complication. Calibre11 lists the Monaco Mikrograph Watch Complications as the following:

– 12 o’clock sub-dial: The Chronograph power reserve

– 3 o’clock sub-dial: Chronograph elapsed minutes with three hands (0/10/20) mounted on a rotating disc (in the photo above, 25 minutes have elapsed)

– 9 o’clock sub-dial: Watch elapsed seconds with three hands (0/20/40) mounted on a rotating disc (in the photo above, almost 50 seconds have elapsed)

– 6 0′clock sub-dial: Chronograph elapsed seconds (with a double-ended needle showing 0-30 seconds on the outer counter/ large needle and 31-60 seconds on the inner counter/ small needle)

– The flying central hand (with the open circle) indicates the 100th of a second which is read off the inner sapphire disc that reads 0-100. At the other end of the Flying central hand is a “/100″ engraving is laser-cut by hand

The strap is black Barenia calfskin and the watch will come in a box specially designed by South African artist, Paul du Toit. This watch will be issued in a limited edition of 150 pieces.
