The Tag Heuer Carrera Heuer 02 Tourbillon is a 45mm modular case made up of twelve different components. This modular design is reminiscent of Biver’s last brand resurection; Hublot. Made of titanium, both brushed and blackened, this is a sport tourbillon. The movement is an in-house caliber COSC certified chronograph automatic tourbillon with a 65 hour power reserve. The dial has an industrial look that fits well with this multi finish and component case. Black crocodile or rubber strap with titanium buckle completes this piece.
This is a ground breaking introduction by Tag Heuer. A timepiece of a similar complication from the likes of a brand like Audemars Piguet would set one back nearly two hundred thousand. This, the first of what i am sure will be an entire line of tourbillons, is reasonably priced under $20,000. I am sure this comes to the dismay of many other brands in the watch world. The Tourbillon is meant to be the pinnacle of complication and desire and in a few months will be within arms reach. Lets hope the allure of this mesmerizing complication is not lost with the introduction of this bargain timepiece.
