Based in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland and with four production sites, TAG Heuer has 1470 employees and is active in 139 countries. TAG Heuer, founded in 1860 by Edouard Heuer in the Jura Mountains of Switzerland, is a luxury watch brand that is part of LVMH Moët Hennessey Louis Vuitton SE (“LVMH”), the world’s leading luxury group. Over time, the dials have shown a tendency to patinate from blue to a similar dégradé purple color, sometimes slightly faded in the center and darker around the edges. These pieces used a different dial finish with a metallic blue paint over the brass plate.
TAG HEUER MONACO TITAN LIMITED EDITION SERIES
The dial gradient, from lighter purple in the center to darker purple at the edge, adds depth and sophistication to the piece, while the rhodium-plated indexes and hands with white Super-LumiNova® and the two black opalin sub-counters subtly enhance the unexpected smoky design.Ĭonnoisseurs of the TAG Heuer Monaco lineage might recognize a subtle parallel with the very early Heuer Monaco reference 1113B, the Chronomatic version launched at the beginning of 1969, as well as the transitional series – before what is known as the “McQueen” – and the reference 1533 Calibre 15. The 39-mm square case in fine-brushed and polished steel houses an elegantly imagined dial in a rich purple color. The new TAG Heuer Monaco Purple Dial Limited Edition combines its unmistakable heritage with fresh and distinctive finishes. In 2022 the brand is releasing a never-seen-before edition of only 500 numbered pieces. The exceptionally visible aesthetic is hard to ignore, giving it a solid wrist presence that takes the original Monaco and adds even more muscle, while still curating a very light, gentle look.The Swiss luxury watchmaker is once again surprising clients and collectors with a bold new interpretation of its famed racing chronograph: the TAG Heuer Monaco Purple Dial Limited Edition.īorn in 1969, the rule-defying square-shaped chronograph has kept its maverick spirit alive and thriving through the decades, with many statement and sought-after variations of its original blue dial. The TAG Heuer Monaco Titan sports a silvered Panda dial notably worked with a heritage Heuer logo and chosen for its attractive contrast to the black sub-dials and dark red accents on the central hand and index marker at 12 o’clock – all of which are, of course, coated with Super-LumiNova. Compare this with previous iteration of the Monaco, where titanium has been used to rework the iconic square case, like with the Monaco V4, but none before have focused so sharply on the kind of texture sand-blasted Grade 2 titanium can bring. Limited to 500 pieces, the modern iteration switches things up with a 39mm case made from Grade 2 titanium, giving the timepiece an exceptionally light and tough matte texture. In other words, the Titan Special Edition has a lot to live up to. A post shared by Red Bull Racing Honda its blue metallic dial, red and light blue hands, and square-shaped waterproof case with the first-ever automatic chronograph movement, the original was, and still is, considered a crowning achievement for TAG Heuer and a powerful crossover of time, technology, style.
