TAG Heuer<\/strong> demonstrates its watchmaking prowess with a truly amazing new timepiece representing the next generation of tourbillon watches. The manufacture movement of the new Carrera Calibre Heuer 02T Tourbillon Nanograph<\/strong> features a carbon-composite hairspring, produced from a gas, that replaces the well-known Elinvar and silicon versions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

St\u00e9phane Bianchi, CEO of the LVMH Watchmaking Division and CEO of TAG Heuer, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis new interpretation of the TAG Heuer Carrera with its advanced in-house technology underscores our legacy in achieving watchmaking excellence and proves that we remain true to our values of performance, disruption and avant-garde.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The nanoscopic (one million times smaller than a millimetre) hexagonal pattern of the hairspring\u2019s carbon-composite material is mirrored in the design of the Carrera Calibre Heuer 02T Tourbillon Nanograph. Aside from the carbon-composite hairspring, the most distinguishing feature of this chronometer-certified chronograph is its multilayer dial and movement combination<\/strong>, which features sandblasted and fine-brushed hexagons on the movement plate visible through an open-worked dial. The pattern can also be seen on the oscillating mass, which has been treated with black PVD and is visible through the sapphire caseback<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Alluding to haute horlogerie creations of the past, a bright neon green colour adorns various elements of the watch, including the aluminium bridge and the inscription on the tourbillon movement<\/strong>. The aluminium alloy balance wheel stands out with its white gold inserts<\/strong>, while SuperLuminova markings<\/strong> ensure that the movement is visible day and night.<\/p>\n

TAG Heuer Product Director Guy Bove added:<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this new skeletonised tourbillon model in the Carrera range, we wanted to highlight TAG Heuer\u2019s capabilities both in engineering and in the development of compelling movements \u2013 like its predecessors, the Carrera Calibre Heuer 02T Tourbillon Nanograph is a force of disruption in haute horlogerie, thanks to its visually exciting blend of modern, high-tech aesthetics and precise, elegant proportions: hallmarks of the Carrera collection for over 50 years.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Known as the heart of the mechanical watch, the hairspring is the most difficult part to produce<\/strong> because its minute tolerances directly impact the overall precision of a timepiece<\/strong>. A team of TAG Heuer mathematicians, physicists and chemists are behind the creation of this newly reinvented hairspring. Not only does the carbon-composite hairspring shake up traditional watchmaking, it also improves the performance of watches fitted with the brand\u2019s chronometer-certified movement. The Carrera Calibre Heuer 02T Tourbillon Nanograph is the first watch to be regulated by this carbon-composite hairspring innovation.<\/p>\n
