The Carrera is a COSC-certified automatic chronograph with Tourbillon for less than 15.000 CHF. The very aggressive pricing is possible due to the brands manufacture expertise, and the perfect mastery of industrial processes and manufacturing costs …
The main technical challenge was to house a single barrel, the chronograph functions, the automatic winding mechanism and the flying tourbillon within a diameter of 32 mm, whilst ensuring the counters were well spaced to create a modern, balanced look. An industrial framework was developed to optimise assembly in TAG Heuer’s Chevenez workshops. It houses a lightweight tourbillon hand-crafted by only a few replica watchmakers, inspired by the Monaco V4’s tourbillon, which has central sections made from titanium and a carbon top section.
The Replica TAG Heuer CARRERA Heuer-02T offers a power reserve of 65 hours. All the fitting, assembly and adjustment work is performed by hand. The main components are manufactured in the workshops of the TAG Heuer Manufacture.
The balance spring is produced by the brand’s Swiss partner Atokalpa, who belongs to the Parmigiani Group.
The movement is housed in a case made from grade 5 titanium It is lightweight and more shock-resistant, it uses a different form of construction with 12 modular components. This design opens up a huge range of possibilities, with an infinite combination of materials, colors, treatments and finishes.
A black alligator strap sewn onto rubber, ensures TAG Heuer’s signature refined, yet sporty look.
The case is waterproof to 100 meters.
TAG Heuer told me: “Alexander, this is a symbol of the accessible luxury so dear to TAG Heuer, this replica watch symbolises technology, exemplary quality, performance, manufacture expertise, and the perfect mastery of industrial processes and manufacturing costs which have made it the only COSC automatic chronograph with Tourbillon produced by the Swiss replica watch industry for under 15,000 CHF. The CARRERA Heuer-02T Black Phantom version priced at 19,900 CHF, is part of a limited edition of 250 numbered pieces.”
