Review by Esrom Johnson, From Espana Don Benito

We heard last week that the TAG Heuer Connected is flying off the shelves in the US and that, as a result, its shipping date for the UK and Switzerland has been pushed back with the result that we are unlikely to see the watch in stores in Switzerland before Christmas. Meanwhile, Frederique Constant has presented the second model in its Horological Smartwatch collection, which is also the first Basel 2016 preview we have seen at WorldTempus.

The 50 patents that were originally announced for the ground-breaking timepiece now number over 110 and cover seven years of research at Silicon Valley. The watch's unique selling point is that it does not need to be recharged. It has a quartz movement with a standard battery that will allow the watch to run for up to two years. Smart it may be, but above all it remains a watch at heart and all its functions are operated by the crown. Read our complete hands-on test for more information.

The new version for 2016 introduces a navy blue dial to the collection, which retains the applied rose-gold hour markers and a rose-gold plated steel case and comes with a blue leather strap with a folding buckle. 

Guy Semon joined the French Navy in his youth, where he trained as a jet pilot. Science was his predominant interest and he left the navy to work as a researcher for the French Ministry and a lecturer and researcher at the University of Franche-Comte. There, he completed his doctorate in physics and engineering science.
Since then his experience impressively grew as he researched and published his work in the fields of mathematics and optics for notable institutions including Boston and Rotterdam Universities. It was also during this time that the University of Franche-Comte gave him the task of setting up and managing their new Physics of Energy Laboratory.
In August of 1995 he started his own company, employing 5 highly qualified engineers and specializing in flight simulation. At that time, he was exploring new technological fields, specializing in new materials and was invited by a number of industrial companies to help with their corporate campaigns (industrial reorganization, integration of new technologies, launches, air risk analysis, etc…).
Finally, Guy Semon met TAG Heuer by chance in Switzerland in 2004, at a time when the company was interested in manufacturing the smallest belts in the world! This was the beginning of an intensive and fruitful collaboration that led to the production of the Monaco V4 watch, and to the establishment of the TAG Heuer R&D Centre that Guy Semon has led since January 2008.
The objective of the Tiempo de Relojes 2013 Special Award is to expressly recognize a timepiece that may have gone unnoticed throughout the season and that deserves to have public recognition for its intrinsic value, technical innovation, and for setting trends, among other criteria.
The Tiempo de Relojes Awards initiated in 2007 in line with the first edition of Salón Internacional Alta Relojería (SIAR). The awards were established to commemorate October as the month to celebrate the best watches of the season. A jury of journalists specialized in watchmaking and jewelry expertise are responsible for identifying which Brands and which timepieces will be nominated in the different categories. It is the same court that, once the nominees are published, chooses the winners. The criteria depend on the category and include: clockwork precision, concept, aesthetics, ethics, infinitesimal calculations, inspiration, historical value of the timepiece in relation to the past, substantial improvements in the portfolio of a Brand, and the significance of the timepiece in its category.
Specifically the Tiempo de Relojes Special Award is usually awarded to a company or a timepiece, but this year, for the first time in its history, it was awarded to a person.
To date, Guy Semon has contributed to significant innovations and technology for the watch industry including masterpieces such as the Monaco V4, Mikrotimer, Mikrotourbillon S that was presented this year, and the Mikrogider that won the world's most coveted watchmaking award, the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix "Aiguille d'Or" in 2012.

GMT XXL - Summer 2012
The TAG Heuer Haute Horlogerie story is a genuinely human saga involving an extraordinary team of dedicated thinkers, watch masters, engineers and craftsmen working in Switzerland but also collaborating with an international network drawn from renowned high-tech companies, universities and research institutes. The techniques used in the design, prototyping and manufacturing of TAG Heuer's Haute Horlogerie masterpieces (MikrotourbillonS, the Mikrotimer, the Mikrogirder, the Mikrograph, Monaco V4, the Monaco Twenty-Four or Link Lady Diamond Star) are the same as those used to develop complex aerospace systems. Tools, techniques and expertise are drawn from an eclectic fusion of automobile and IT industries, applied mathematics, chemistry, climatology, computer engineering and micro-mechanical sciences. TAG Heuer's engineers and watchmakers design, develop and manufacture in-house in La Chaux-de-Fonds. The 40-member team share a singular vision and passion - a commitment to push beyond limits and create an entirely new paradigm for mechanical movement dynamics. TAG Heuer is currently building a fourth atelier in the region to meet the new challenges.

TAG Heuer's most ambitious luxury chronograph to date, the MikrotourbillonS is not only the world's fastest tourbillon : it is the first ever tourbillon on a 1/100th of a second chronograph that can be started and stopped, an audacious timepiece of peerless precision and virtuosic savoir-faire. The first tourbillon chronograph capable of certification-level precision timing, it is by far the fastest, most accurate and most breathtakingly beautiful tourbillon ever imagined. As Jack Heuer stated, "We call it a movement because that is what it does, at the same rhythm, around the clock. A physical force and a machine so complex that it seizes your breath, with as many components — muscles and bones — as a human, and its own beautiful, tireless heart, pumping infi nite energy from its impossibly intricate core."

The MikrotourbillonS has two rotating tourbillon mechanisms visible on its dial face, one for time telling and one for timekeeping. The first beats at 4 hertz (28,800 beats/h) and controls the ISO 3159 compliant watch ; its hand sweeps the dial at a standard tourbillon speed of once a minute. The second, the world's fastest tourbillon, controls the 1/100th-of-a-second chronograph and is dynamically compensated to run at 50 hertz, meaning it beats at 360,000 beats per hour and rotates at a dizzying fi ve seconds per revolution, or 12 times a minute. Another mind-numbing technical prowess: it has no cage and can be started and stopped thanks to the dual chain architecture.

The MikrotourbillonS is built with the same integrated movement with dual chain architecture, conceived by TAG Heuer in 2011 for the Mikrograph 1/100th. Separating the watch chain from the chronograph chain eliminates the risks of the chronograph influencing the watch and vice-versa; but most importantly, it reduces energy loss and optimizes the precision of the chronograph's regulating organ. This dual chain architecture allows all "Mikro" timepieces to be ISO 3159 compliant across the board. The Mikrotimer and the Mikrograph are already COSC certified — i.e. with the chronograph function running, a feat virtually impossible to achieve by conventional monofrequency chronographs.
In 2011, TAG Heuer launched the Mikrotimer Flying 1000, the world's first 500hz mechanical chronograph. A revolutionary mechanical chronograph regulator without any balance wheel system and equipped with TAG Heuer's two escapements "Mikro" architecture, the Mikrotimer beats 3.6 million times per hour, making it 125 times faster than a standard Swiss chronograph. Its central chronograph hand completes a full rotation 10 times per second. Stunningly beautiful, with its black Titanium Carbide coated case with contrasting steel horns and the black ruthenium-treated movement inside. The Mikrotimer Flying 1000 was voted the 2011 Swiss Sports Watch of the Year at the Grand Prix de l'Horlogerie de Geneve. The victory marked the 7th time in 10 years that TAG Heuer was singled out by the Geneva jury for its engineering and design prowess.

Earlier this year, TAG Heuer made a radical decision: to start from a blank page. The Mikrogirder represents a complete departure from the conventional, 3-centuries-old system, which today still reigns over the mechanical watch industry. Instead of a spiral shape in a classical hairspring, it uses a coupling blade/girder and excitatory blade/girder system working with a linear oscillator. The Mikrogirder system vibrates isochronously at a very small angle, as opposed to a traditional watch, which vibrates at an angle of up to 320 degrees. The result is a significant increase in precision (division of time) and performance (frequency accuracy and stability). The Mikrogirder energy performance will enable TAG Heuer chronographs to attain ultra-high frequencies never before dreamed possible. The statistics are nothing short of astounding: 1,000 Hz = 1/2000th = 5/10,000th of a second = 7,200,000 beats per hour. In comparison, a regular watch functions at 4Hz, or only 28,800 beats per hour. The Mikrogirder is 250 times faster. Ten patents are pending on this breakthrough.

Five years after unveiling the Monaco V4 Concept Watch, the world's first watch with belt drives, linear mass and ball bearings, TAG Heuer achieved the unbelievable, launching what many industry insiders said would never see the light of day: the MONACO V4 commercially available to watch aficionados and collectors. In a world first (with 2 worldwide patents), TAG Heuer replaced the pinions and wheels of the traditional mechanical movement with a belt-driven transmission : a high-yield relay of five notched micro drive-belts whose tension is controlled by two turnbuckles. The transmission belts in polyether block amide have a 0.07mm section, about the same size as a single human hair, and are 10 times smaller than any belt ever manufactured. Unlike a traditional caliber, this modular synchronous drive belt system requires no extra gears to send motion from one point to another. The Monaco V4 is also the world's first wristwatch with a linear mass, which is mounted on the world's smallest ball bearings. The 12g tungsten ingot doesn't move back and forth but up and down on a track between the 2 pairs of v-shaped barrels in series, set in parallel and inclined at +/- 13°. Its case is made of ruthenium and grade 5 titanium, with fine-brushed silicon nitride "ceramic" inserts. The V4 movement's avant-garde architecture is visible through the timepiece's anti-reflective sapphire crystal front and back, showing a completely revisited finishes with a high-resistance black ruthenium coating on the main plate and the Côtes de Geneve decorated bridges.

For the Link Lady Diamond Star Haute Couture Concept, the TAG Heuer Science & Engineering team had to work wonders to keep it functional without compromising the star design. Such elegant artistry is possible because the watch is fitted with an oscillating weight that is larger than the movement it graces. It makes a 360° turn between two sapphire crystals which allow the eye to catch and hold each moment of eternity. A complex construction keeps the movement centered in the case and makes it appear as if it is floating. The cut of each sapphire layer within the construction is highly accurate and technical to ensure a perfect fit. The whole structure is completely transparent, a result obtained through a delicate, dust-free assembly process.

On display at the Geneva Motor Show is the 2010 TAG Heuer Tesla Roadster. This one-of-a-kind collector's car includes a unique interior by Tesla Chief Designer Franz von Holzhausen, incorporating TAG Heuer avant-garde design elements and a specially designed center console due to host TAG Heuer's cutting edge concept watch to be revealed in Basel on March 18th.
 
This car also features a TAG Heuer Meridiist mobile phone as well as a one-fifth second Heuer Limited Edition Stopwatch. This Swiss-made timepiece with mechanical movement pays tribute to the 1860 founding of the company and evoques the mythic revival of the brand's vintage stopwatches.
The car's exterior color scheme is Foucault Field Gray, embodying the innovative spirit of both companies. The design was inspired by the new TAG Heuer concept watch, a technical milestone in mechanical movements, which brings technologically advanced art to life through motion.

The 2010 TAG Heuer Tesla Roadster will remain at the Tesla booth during the public show days, March 4-14 at the Palexpo-Geneva conference center. The car will then be driven to Baselworld, the world's largest watch exhibition, held in Basel March 18-28.
Since its founding in an artisan's workshop in the Swiss Jura, TAG Heuer has become one of the world's best-known luxury brands -- maker of avant-garde watches, eyewear and premium mobile phones for refined consumers around the globe.
TAG Heuer, a star brand from the luxury group and worldwide leader Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH), also has deep roots in the automotive sector. Company founder Edouard Heuer received in 1911 the patent for The Time of Trip, the first car dashboard chronograph, followed in 1933 by the Autavia -- the first dashboard timekeeper for both automobiles and aviation. The benchmark in cutting-edge chronographs and timekeeping technology since 1860, TAG Heuer is the watch brand that can claim the longest and best association with motor sports and dream cars. Both watches and chronographs are inspired and driven by motor sports, from Formula One to GT cars.
 
"TAG Heuer has a rich history and expertise with the world's most prestigious racing teams -- but this is the first ever partnership we've forged with an electric sports car company," said Jean-Christophe Babin, President and CEO of TAG Heuer. "We believe that high-performance drivers are increasingly searching for products that are efficient, socially responsible and stylish. TAG Heuer and Tesla are two of the few companies arleady achieving these ideals today."

Environmental Sustainability as Key Corporate Value
Tesla Motors began developing an electric sports car in 2004 and remains the only automaker selling highway-capable electric cars. The Tesla Roadster accelerates faster than nearly any other supercar yet is twice as energy efficient as a Toyota Prius -- the only car that delivers supercar performance guilt-free, with zero tailpipe emissions and a carbon footprint dramatically lower than any comparable sports car.
 
The Tesla Roadster is quickly becoming the must-have car among Hollywood celebrities, European royalty and socially responsible trendsetters worldwide. Tesla has delivered more than 1,000 cars to consumers in 21 countries.

TAG Heuer and Tesla will launch in style their first collaboration March 18 in Switzerland. The CEOs of both companies will provide details at a party celebrating the 150th anniversary of TAG Heuer during Baselworld 2010. The nine-month project will have worldwide reach and will raise awareness of technological innovation to consumers on three continents.
"Engineers at both TAG Heuer and Tesla understand intuitively that technology -- whether worn on your wrist or driven on the road -- can help us live better while we tread more lightly on this planet," said Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
