Baselworld 2018 – TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer 02 GMT Chronograph

The Carrera is celebrating its 55th anniversary this year. To celebrate, TAG Heuer isn’t looking at the past but instead remains true to its “avant-garde” identity.

Heuer Autavia Jo Siffert Collector’s Edition by Calibre 11

Few names in the world of watchmaking are as iconic as Jo Siffert – a well-known pilot, strongly linked to vintage chronograph watches. Referring first to 1970s Heuer Autavia watches, with their Panda dial and bright blue accents, the name has been revived several times already, but today is quite special. Indeed, our friend David Chalmers from Calibre11.com, a reference for everything linked to Heuer and TAG Heuer, has developed a new limited edition with TAG, the Heuer Autavia Jo Siffert Collector’s Edition by Calibre 11 – and it looks quite stunning.
