Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph

TAG Heuer reignites its Haute Horlogerie d'Avant-Garde with the new TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph, a remarkable fusion of tradition and innovation echoing the racing DNA of the Maison.

A modern reinterpretation of the iconic Monaco from 1969, the TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph further redefines watch design. By reviewing the architecture of the movement and using light materials such as grade-5 titanium, the timepiece only weighs a mere 85 grams and achieves a singular appearance where sapphire crystal and transparency play a central role. Fusing titanium and sapphire together, the timepiece impresses with its case crafted from a combination of half of each, enhancing its uniqueness. The caseback, a portal to the soul of the watch, is crafted entirely from sapphire crystal, offering unobstructed views of the caliber's intricate inner workings, creating a mesmerizing visual experience. The transparent caseback is ingeniously designed to give the impression of a floating oscillating weight, emphasizing the movement's sophisticated architecture.

At the heart of the TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph is the newly launched TH81-00 mechanical split-seconds chronograph caliber. Also crafted in grade-5 titanium for better shock resistance, it is one of the lightest automatic chronograph movements ever created by TAG Heuer, in partnership with the esteemed manufacturer Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier. Entirely decorated by hand, the caliber features TAG Heuer's signature checkered flag pattern on its bridges and demonstrates the Maison's dedication to top-tier finishing. The result is a masterpiece that combines cutting-edge technology with expert watchmaking craftmanship.

Crafting the TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph and the TH81-00 mechanical split-seconds chronograph caliber was a journey into the heart of watchmaking innovation. Meticulously designed and executed, this movement is the pinnacle of our dedication to pushing the boundaries of precision and complexity, delivering a unique and sophisticated timekeeping experience. Whether timing laps on the racetrack or tracking multiple time intervals simultaneously, the TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph offers unparalleled accuracy and versatility in its usage, paying homage to the Maison's storied rattrapante chronograph legacy.
