Introducing – TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 02T Tourbillon Nanograph (with Patented Hairspring in Carbon Composite)

After a few years of technically traditional watches, TAG Heuer is back at work with innovation.

Meet the TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 02T Tourbillon Nanograph – and again, innovation doesn’t necessarily mean insane prices.
