Tag Heuer Carrera 1887 Chronograph
Starting at $2,575
If minimalism, readability, sophistication and unpretentious elegance is more your cup of tea, the Tag Heuer Carrera 1887 Chronograph will be right up your alley. The time piece was re-invented for Tag’s 150th anniversary and not only vibrates 28,800 times per hour, but also features a 39-jewel, 29.3mm x 7.13mm movement that is made of 320 components, is water resistance to 300 feet, and has a 50-hour power reserve. The newly re-engineered version of its inspiration, the Calibre 1887-patented oscillating pinion, puts luxury and usability in the forefront.
Jean-Christope Babin, President and CEO of Tag Heuer says the idea to produce the piece began in 2006. “We’ve been the pioneering chronograph brand since our oscillating pinion patent in 1887. Because of this heritage, we felt it was imperative that TAG Heuer not only rely on traditional models from manufacturers like Valjoux or Zenith, but launch its own generation calibers manufactured in-house.”
