After selling all 60,000 TAG Heuer Connected smartwatches it produced this year, TAG Heuer is continuing its push into wearables with a new office in Silicon Valley, reports Bloomberg. Led by the irrepressible Jean-Claude Biver, TAG Heuer has been the most enthusiastic amongst its Swiss peers in embracing the smartwatch. Introduced in November last year, […]
Introduced late last year, the TAG Heuer Connected is the most successful, and arguably the only, smartwatch from a traditional watchmaker. Originally available with a titanium and plastic case, the TAG Heuer Connected now goes upmarket with a 18k rose gold (and plastic) case.

One week ago, we introduced to you (and far in advance) the first prototype of the TAG Heuer Autavia “Jochen Rindt” reedition, one of the first customer-designed watches made by the industry in a long time. Well, already a good news on its own, this watch was not the only point of interest here, as inside its case is ticking something we didn’t expect to see anymore from TAG Heuer, the Calibre Heuer-03 (ex. CH80, which was supposed to be a project killed before its birth). During the Heuer collectors summit, we had the chance to visit the Chevenez Manufacture (the one that was supposedly stopped…), to see the new movement, to understand the evolutions and finally to talk with the teams, including Jean-Claude Biver, just to bring the light on this complex but, in the end, happy situation.

It could measure 1/100th of a second, thanks to a clever movement with twin balance wheels, one running at 360,000 beats per hour, or 100 beats per second.
