I was fortunate enough to go to Monaco for the first time last year for the boat show. What a 24 hours. While the excesses made me consider what was actually important in life, the energy and natural beauty was sublime. This week sees TAG Heuer partner with the Automobile Club de Monaco. The ACM showcase event is the the iconic Grand Prix de Monaco Historique which looks to be a wonderfully elegant gathering of vintage car lovers. Tag is also introducing a new watch to mark the occasion.
This limited-edition Monaco timepiece dedicated to the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique features the signature red-and-white colour code that is reminiscent of eye-catching sports cars from the thrilling world of motor racing. The small silver historic car logo of the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique at the 1 o’clock position on the crimson brushed dial instantly links this special model to the historic race. This model is produced in a limited edition of 1,000 watches, each of which is engraved with its unique number and the words “One of 1000”. The stainless-steel case back of this iconic square model has a transparent sapphire glass with the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique logo printed on the inside through which the sophisticated Calibre Heuer 02 in-house mechanical movement is visible. With a total of 168 individual components, including a column wheel. Further info over at Tag.
