The 18-carat rose-gold watch is a new version of the recently relaunched TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Replica. After all, the TAG Heuer Carrera is Jack Heuer’s favourite collection by his own creation.The new dial is highly legible, and its chronograph is a homage to the classic Heuer style. Furthermore, it reflects Jack Heuer’s love of detail and precision. This is evident from numerous design details on the timepiece.
The Case
Firstly, the Luxury Tag Heuer Replica 42 mm case is 18-carat rose-gold, because this is Jack Heuer’s favourite material. As well as being polished and fine-brushed, the case’s matching crown and pushers are also in rose-gold. Each one of the 188 timepieces features a special numbered engraving. Furthermore, the case provides water-resistance to 100 m.
The Dial
Meanwhile, the silver opaline dial displays two applied horizontal 8s in the centre of the dial. Notably, this doesn’t only symbolise Jack’s 88th birthday, but also evokes the double infinity loop. Additionally, the new date display and Super-LumiNova-filled hands are a nod to Jack’s vision of clean and clear dial design.
The Movement
The TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 02 Gold Replica Edition cites Jack’s motto –“Time never stops, why should we?” – on the oscillating mass of its in-house Heuer 02 movement. Consisting of 168 components, including a column wheel and a vertical clutch, the calibre has an 80 hour power reserve. It beats at a frequency of 4 Hz.
