100 BRANDS AT BASELWORLD: No.16 – TAG Heuer

TAG Heuer has drawn inspiration from the first chronograph specially designed for racing drivers that Jack Heuer made in the 1960s for its new Carrera Calibre 18 Chronograph.

The brand has re-employed the original Panda effect with two anthracite counters standing out against a silver-toned dial, and has even reverted to its historical Heuer logo.

The vintage-touch automatic chronograph is also equipped with a telemetric scale on its inner bezel ring, which was formerly used by the military to measure their distance from artillery fire based on the speed of sound.
