Piece Unique
A reimagining of the iconic ultra-rare Monaco "Dark Lord" in carbon.
As a realised vision representing the bridge between the heritage of TAG Heuer and its quest to constantly innovate, the Only Watch Carbon Monaco is the perfect encapsulation of these two core philosophies. With its extensive use of carbon, from the case and skeletonised dial down to the hairspring, as well as the avant-garde design, showing how disruptive the Monaco is more than 50 years after its introduction, the Only Watch Carbon Monaco looks towards the future.
Underneath the surface, and visible through the largest sapphire case back mounted on a Monaco, the respect that TAG Heuer has for tradition watchmaking is on full display. The unique Heuer 02 calibre, the first to be fitted with a carbon hairspring, is hand-finished using 10 different techniques including a distinctive gratté finish giving the impression of a chequered flag. This is completed by a unique oscillating mass in the form of the TAG Heuer shield which is hand finished and hand painted in the gradient shades of Only Watch 2021.
Technical Specifications:
The case, in forged carbon, measures 39mm x 15.5mm. It has a sapphire crystal and features the largest sapphire caseback fitted to a Monaco model.
Movement is the Swiss automatic TAG Heuer in-house Caliber 02 with 33 jewels, 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 80 hours. Carbon hairspring and extensive hand-finishing throughout, including special gratté technique. Special rotor.
Skeletonised concave hand-finished forged carbon dial with machined blocks of SuperLuminova.
It comes on a black hand-made leather strap made to resemble a metal bracelet.
Thanks.
