TAG Heuer Reveals New Grand CARRERA Concept


Ever fancied a timepiece that measures to 1/10th of a second? Fear no more, the wait is almost over. At Baselworld 2008, TAG Heuer revealed their new concept watch equipped with the world's first automatic chronograph able to measure and display 1/10th of a second.

The Grand CARRERA Calibre 36 RS Caliper Concept Chronograph can truly be described as a feat of engineering, with the seconds hand able to clearly display 1/10th second intervals when coupled with their own revolutionary Rotating Scale.


This innovative concept features a COSC-certified Calibre 36 RS movement that oscillates at an impressive 36,000 vibrations per hour, all housed beneath a tinted double sapphire crystal.

The stunning concept displays other its chronograph readings using two "Black Gold" Rotating Systems with the chronograph hours placed at 6 o'clock and chronograph minutes at 3 o'clock. In addition, there is also a Linear Second readout at 9 o'clock.

The watch is beautifully housed in a stylish 43mm black titanium carbide-coated case with its titanium-carbide coated rubber bracelet completing the entire package.
