Tag Heuer Aquaracer White Dial Stainless Steel and 18kt Rose Gold Ladies Watch WAP2350BD0838

Arrived DOA, but reading manual reveals that this is a solar powered watch, and thus the rechargeable battery needed charging first before the watch would work. It has to be exposed to bright light for several hours.

TAG Heuer Carrera Mother of Pearl Dial Stainless Steel Ladies Watch WAR1315BA0773

I bought this little Tag Heuer Carrera watch for my lady who was in need of some time on her wrist. She loves the watch and how it fits her wrist. Me on the other hand; I have some issues with it. The light doesnt function very well which makes it hard to use at night. She loves it nonetheless and that is all that matters.

The Racing Timepiece
At the helm of this year's TAG Heuer Carrera rollout is one of the line's most elegant and sporting creations to date. Housing the brand's high-rate Calibre 36 automatic chronograph movement (named for its 36,000 beats per hour frequency), it features an authentic fly-back complication--a simple click instantly resets the chronograph to zero. Inspired by automobile racing, the function lets drivers (and aviation pilots) instantly restart and reset without stopping.
The generous case is in super-light titanium Grade 2, the same corrosive-resistant alloy used in leading-edge aerospace, automotive and architectural design. Here it is sandblasted and specially treated with a black titanium carbide coating for extra allure.
 

The "Racing" has an anthracite dial decorated with TAG Heuer's signature sunray effect, with "black gold"-polished and hand-applied Arabic numerals on the external chronograph scale, and on the red-tipped chronograph and small seconds hand. The date window is a 6 o'clock and the counters--chronograph minute and running second --are at 3 and 9 o'clock. Both counters are snailed with fine-brushed appliques and polished facets.
The smoked sapphire caseback provides a scratch-resistant window onto the working components of the high-precision movement beating inside.
The new strap design, inspired by motor-racing leathers and steering wheel covers, is in crafted black leather with a black perforated layer and a black titanium Grade 2 folding clasp.

WORLDTEMPUS - 24 March 2011

"One small step for man, one giant step for human kind": the first man to set foot on the moon was Neil Armb in 1969, who won the space race against the Soviet Union for the United States. One might think it shouldn't take another 42 years for humankind to get to the next planet, but as of yet no human has landed on Mars. TAG Heuer's own space odyssey was much faster: on 17 January, the La Chaux-de-Fonds-based watchmaker introduced the Mikrograph, the first mechanical wristwatch to measure 1/100th of a second via a central chronograph hand. A mere 66 days later, TAG Heuer seemingly pulled the next step out of its pocket: an astonishing evolution of the Mikrotimer, capable of 1/1000th second accuracy.

This feat, dubbed the Apollo project, was the answer to TAG Heuer's own question "Can we go from the Moon to Mars?" - and announced on an extremely well attended press conference on the first day of Baselworld, which was also streamed live through the brand's official Facebook page as well as right here on Worldtempus. The dignitaries introducing the incredible concept watch included Jack Heuer, the brand's honorary chairman who himself was involved in the "race" for the first automatic chronograph the same year man first landed on the moon; the always-enthusiastic CEO Jean Christophe Babin, prouder than ever; and vice-president for research & development Guy Semon - a top-notch engineer who came from the aeronautical industry to set new standards in the watch industry.

Like Messi or Ronaldo
TAG Heuer hiring rocket scientist and problem solver Guy Semon is the equivalent of a football club signing Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi. Semon led the team that transformed the V4 from problematic concept into reality and has set new high-frequency goals: first with the Mikrograph (50 hz), already on the market; and now making an even bigger quantum leap with the Mikrotimer Flying 1000, whose frequency measures 500 hz, which is 3.6 million vph; the hand makes ten dial rotations per second.

The movement capitalizes on the design of the integrated Mikrograph caliber and is equipped with two escapements; it boasts 354 components as well as a 43 hour-power reserve for the watch and 150 seconds for the chronograph. The most interesting technical element is the lack of a balance wheel: instead it boasts a brake system controlled by a column wheel made possible thanks to the increased rigidity of the balance spring. Pushing start launches it by putting it in solid contact with the radial escapement; pushing stop radially pushes the launcher onto the hub, instantly stopping the movement of the spring.
The time is measured by two central chronograph hands: the main yellow hand measures the 1/100th and 1/1000th of a second on the external scale, the smaller second hand indicates elapsed minutes and 1/12th of a minute; time is read by adding the 1/10th of a second from the subdial at 6 o'clock to the 1/100th and 1/1000th read from the central hand on the external dial.
TAG Heuer's team was only sure the Mikrotimer prototype would actually work fourteen days before the presentation. It boasts 12 patents that cover the titanium carbide case design and the movement, but perhaps even more impressive is the fact that Guy Semon's crew had another concept watch up its sleeve to introduce at Baselworld if the Mikrotimer were not working properly.

The Carrera Heritage Collection

In 1963 Jack W. Heuer, the son of Charles-Edouard Heuer, started work on a new chronograph specifically designed for drivers and motor-racing enthusiasts. A life-long fan of the sport himself, he knew what it was needed: a wide-open, easy-to-read dial and a shock-resistant and waterproof case tough enough for road wear. The following year he launched the result, a mechanical, manual-wound chronograph called the Carrera. For the name, he reached back to a racing legend from the 1950s, the Carrera Pan Americana, a five-day, 3,300 kilometers (2,100 mile) race across Mexico. The most prestigious — and dangerous — endurance race of its day, the Carerra, which in Spanish mean "competition of the highest order" remains synonymous with excitement, danger, adventure, and heroism.
It was the perfect name for Jack's most ambitious creation to date. The elegant simplicity, purity and sobriety of the optimized dial design made the Carrera a huge success and launched a golden era of creativity and innovation for the Heuer brand. Among their first wearers were every Ferrari Scuderia driver — legends like Carlos Retmann, Clay Regazzoni, Jacky Ickx, Niki Lauda, Mario Andretti, Gilles Villeneuve and Jody Scheckter. Other 70s greats also wore the watch, including Jo Siffert, Ronnie Peterson, Emerson Fittipaldi, Denis Hulmes and John Surtees. Jack W. Heuer's all-time favorite watch, the extremely rare Carrera 18 Karat Gold, dates from this era.
New editions and innovations continued through the 1990s and into the 21st century. Motor racing will always be the inspiration of the Carrera, but watchmaking savoir-faire drives it forward. The most recent example of its avant-garde position is last year's Carrera Calibre 1887 Chronograph, TAG Heuer's first high-volume fully integrated column-wheel chronograph movement produced in-house. It won the "La Petite Aiguille" 2010 Best Watch of the Year Award at the Grand Prix de l'Horlogerie de Geneve.
This year, once again challenging existing rules and conventions, TAG Heuer again surprises with the Carrera Heritage Collection, a watch and a chronograph with classic looks, yet deeply rooted in the Carrera legacy. 

The Carrera Heritage Collection:
Carrera Heritage Calibre 6 Watch (39mm)
Carrera Heritage Calibre 16 Chronograph (41mm)
The Carrera Heritage Collection reinterprets the most iconic timepiece of motor racing through the prism of 150 years of horological tradition. It is not retro but vintage: the classic codes of a golden age of watchmaking are respected and lovingly reinterpreted. The case is polished to a glowing luster, as is the monochrome TAG Heuer logo. On some versions, the hands are a deep and burnished blue. Exquisite "flinque" engraving texture adorns the dial; for the flange and counters, vintage minuterie. Even the hand shape is historically accurate. The polished and raised Arabic numerals come from an earlier source in the TAG Heuer library: a Heuer watch from 1945. The pushbutton, digits, crown and index designs are also from this earlier "muse".

La collection Carrera Heritage se decline en une montre de 39 mm pourvue du mouvement du Calibre 6 The Carrera Heritage Collection is available in a 39mm watch edition equipped with an automatic Calibre 6 movement with an azurage embossed small second counter and the date at 6 o'clock. The 41mm automatic chronograph version with the Calibre 16 movement inside and three azurage-embossed sub-counters on the dial. Several options are offered — steel, steel and gold, and steel and rose gold, all with crystal sapphire case back showing the cogs and wheels of the movement inside. Straps are in high-grade alligator with steel folding clasp with safety push buttons; bracelets are 5-row alternate fine-brushed and polished steel. Water resistance is to 100 meters. A standout watch version in massive rose gold is elegantly strapped with a rose gold pin buckle.

Bonhams, one of the world's oldest and largest auctioneers of fine art and antiques, presented and auctioned the Arno Haslinger Collection of rare Heuer timepieces on Wednesday 15th December 2011 in its New Bond Street salesroom in London.
Several timepieces sold for much more than expected. The timepiece which achieved the highest selling price was an extremely rare 1974 Monaco with black PVD coated case, which sold for £48,000 (estimate: £10,000-£15,000). Other top pieces included £30,000 for a 1969 Autavia (estimate £10,000-£15,000) and £22,800 for a 1972 Carrera in 18ct gold (estimate £7,000-£9,000).

The sale, which helped raise funds for Green Cross International, was part of TAG Heuer's 150th Anniversary celebrations. A special photo session was held on December 13th, followed by a private cocktail for collectors, journalists and special guests on December 14th.
The collection of 81 watches included many of TAG Heuer's most iconic models, including rare editions of the Silverstone, Autavia, Carrera, Daytona and Monaco. TAG Heuer purchased several pieces that were missing from its own collection, including an extremely rare "Chronomatic" Carrera, which will go on display at the TAG Heuer Museum in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.

The Swiss watchmaker also created a unique red, Jack Heuer, Silverstone Calibre 11 Chronograph especially for the auction. Estimated at £5,000-£7,000, which sold for £10,000. The dial on the special piece is inscribed with the signature of Jack Heuer, the Honorary Chairman of TAG Heuer and the man responsible for the original Silverstone design of 1974. All proceeds from the Silverstone Calibre 11 Chronograph sale were donated to Green Cross International — an organisation closely supported by TAG Heuer through their brand ambassador Leonardo DiCaprio. The charity was founded in 1993 under the initiative of Mikhail Gorbachev to help ensure a sustainable and secure future.
TAG Heuer's long association with motorsports — it celebrates "15O Years of Motor Racing" in 2011 — was bly evident in the collection. Many of the models were worn by TAG Heuer-endorsed racing drivers such as Jo Siffert, Clay Regazzoni, Jim Clark and Jacky Ickx. Highlights included a Viceroy Autavia issued by the Israel Defence Force; a 'Jo Siffert' white dial Autavia; vintage 'Steve McQueen' Monacos like those seen in the classic film Le Mans; and Indy 500 Carreras.

The tennis champion, wearing her white TAG Heuer Formula 1 ceramic and stainless steel watch and the TAG Heuer sunglasses she designed, drove the TAG Heuer Tesla roadster around the streets of Manhattan Beach, catching the eyes of beach-goers and fellow drivers alike.
