About the TAG Heuer Monaco Collection
The TAG Heuer Monaco, introduced in 1969 to honour the Monaco Grand Prix, made horological history with their debut as the world's first automatic chronograph in a square case. Developed in collaboration with Breitling, Hamilton-Buren and Dubois-Depraz, the collection featured the innovative calibre 11 movement, redefining watchmaking standards. Its status became iconic when it was worn by Steve McQueen in the 1970 film "Le Mans," cementing its association with motorsport. Over the decades, Monaco has evolved with various iterations and advancements, consistently celebrating its storied legacy while embracing modern technological progress.
Design Distinction
The TAG Heuer Monaco is celebrated for its distinctive square case- a striking break from the round watch designs that prevailed when it debuted in 1969. The dial, complemented by sub-dials for the chronograph functions, highlights the watch’s unique aesthetic. Over the years, Monaco has evolved with modern updates while retaining its signature square shape. The 2019 Monaco calibre Heuer 02, for example, reimagines the classic with a contemporary sunburst dial along with an updated crown position. Special editions, like the Monaco Green Dial with its gradient green sunburst, further demonstrate the collection's versatility and enduring appeal.
Innovative Iterations
The TAG Heuer Monaco reflects a blend of innovation and tradition through its evolving technical features. The Monaco V4 showcases a breakthrough in horological engineering with a tungsten linear mass, a belt-drive system and a V-shaped plate with four ball-bearing-mounted barrels inspired by Formula 1 engine cylinders. In contrast, the 2021 Monaco Green Dial, powered by the advanced Heuer 02 movement, offers an 80-hour power reserve, combining modern technology with classic design. Meanwhile, the hand-wound Valjoux models provide a traditional winding experience honouring the watch's heritage. Each Monaco iteration embodies TAG Heuer's commitment to innovation and craftsmanship.
ABOUT THE MOVEMENT
The TAG Heuer calibre 11 is a landmark in watchmaking history, celebrated for its pioneering role in the development of the automatic chronograph. Introduced in 1969 through a groundbreaking collaboration between Heuer, Breitling, Buren, and Dubois-Dépraz, the calibre 11 became one of the world’s first automatic chronograph movements. The original calibre 11 was built on a Buren micro-rotor base combined with a chronograph module from Dubois-Dépraz. It featured a distinctive design with the crown positioned on the left side of the case, a configuration that set it apart from conventional chronographs of the time. This left-hand crown placement became a defining characteristic of the movement and remains a hallmark of the calibre 11 in its modern iterations.
Today’s version of the calibre 11 is based on the Sellita SW 300-1 movement, with the Dubois-Dépraz chronograph module retained to ensure continuity in design and functionality. Operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, the modern calibre 11 offers a power reserve of approximately 40 hours.
