The main challenge is getting the Tag heuer watch to perform reliably in a variety of temperatures

TAG Heuer’s Baselworld releases roll on with yet another new Carrera- this time, the Carrera Calibre 8 GMT Chronometer. The new watch is the first new non-Chronograph Carrera that we have seen this year and is a classical design, both in terms of size and looks. In many ways the new Carrera is a development of the Grand Carrera Calibre 8 GMT, with which it shares several features. We understand that the Grand Carrera range will be more focused on the Chronograph models in the Replica Watches Australia Offer Big Discount, making the Carrera 8 GMT an effective replacement for the similarly named Grand Carrera.

The TAG Heuer Carrera MikroPendulum is yet another evolution of the Mikro platform- a family of movements quickly gaining a reputation as some of the most radical and innovative calibres offered by any watchmaker. The Grand Carrera Pendulum (below) Concept was unveiled at the 2010 Basel show and caused a sensation. For the first time, a mechanical watch movement did away entirely with a hairspring and instead regulated time through the use of magnets. The original Pendulum movement powered a Cheap Cartier Replica AAA Watches For Sale Australia

• unusually for TAG Heuer, not a Chronograph- beating at 43, 200 b. p. h (6hz) and featuring a running seconds sub-dial at 5 o’clock. Dominating the dial at 7 o’clock was the Pendulum window. While the Pendulum was a major break-through in watchmaking, there was a problem- the movement was not reliable enough to make it into production. The main issue was that the force of the magnets- and therefore the rate of oscillation- varied with temperature, clearly a problem, as there’s not much point to a watch that only works in Summer. When it comes to the Pendulum, the main challenge is getting the movement to perform reliably in a variety of temperatures, so right now we are still in the phase of assessing how to do this. It’s no longer a question of watch-making expertise, so we have outside scientists

When TAG Heuer launched the Monaco in V4 Concept in 2004, the critics dismissed the movement as a folly that would never work- after five years of further development, TAG Heuer delivered the production model in 2009. The reaction to the Pendulum concept- a vanity project to create headlines, but one that would never make it to production. Again, TAG Heuer has delivered. In fact, despite producing some of the most radical concept watches over the last 13 years, every one of them has made it into production in one form or another- V4, Mikrograph, Mikrotimer, Pendulum, MikrotourbillonS and now the Pendulum oscillator. Which other watch brand has pushed the boundaries of movement innovation further? Anyone?

It works as follows, once the chronograph is stopped, you move the caliper using the distinctive crown at 10 o'clock, which is adorned with a red stripe giving the watch an unbalanced yet instrumental feel. That crown moves the caliper back or forth around the dial like an internal bezel. The caliper is simple, it has 11 digits, marked from 0 to 9 and then 0 again. The first 0 is red and has a special red marker. Using the 10 o'clock crown, one needs to align the caliper's red marker with the location where the seconds hand stopped. From that point, the 1/10 seconds is indicated by finding the number on the caliper that best aligns with one of the next 10 seconds markers on the dial.
