When people think of a vintage sports watch with a second timezone, the Rolex GMT-master is often one that comes to mind first. However, there have been more imposing sports watches with this complication, like the Heuer Autavia GMT. The one we have here is from around 1970 and part of the second generation of reference 2446, with its distinct red chronograph hand, larger registers, and fluted pushers.

As the engines roared last weekend in France, at the 24-hours of Le Mans, TAG Heuer took the stage to launch a very special version of the Monaco. This model rose to fame, not in the least because it was on the wrist of Steve McQueen in the 1971 cult-classic 'Le Mans'. At an exclusive event, TAG Heuer treated their guests at a screening of this movie, at the place where it was made. Among them was Steve McQueen's son Chad McQueen, but also brand ambassador Patrick Dempsey, Formula E champion Jean-Éric Vergne and Derek Bell, who not only won Le Mans five times but also drove one of the cars in the movie.

Ever since its introduction is the TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 02T Tourbillon a great success! It is perhaps the Swiss watch that offers the most bang for your buck. With the collection starting at $17.000,- you are getting an automatic chronograph, with a flying tourbillon, powered by a manufacture movement which is also Chronometer certified. As TAG Heuer took no shortcuts in terms of quality or finish, it can't come as a surprise that this watch ranks as one of the bestselling tourbillon watch ever.

Some brands have been focussed on a single complication for a very long time. This goes for sure for Heuer, who has nurtured the chronograph as the focal point of most of its endeavors. That they excelled at this can not only their current collection testify for, but also their vintage models such as this single button chronograph from 1930.

Yes, it is hip to be square! In a market where round is still the standard, square watches stand out, yet these are four of the watches that set the pace!

Join us as we explore 4 of the best racing chronographs ever made. These are real, high-speed watches that have stood the test of time.

TAG Heuer's involvement into the world of racing, and especially Formula One racing, is something that dates back to the time when the company was still named only Heuer. One of the watches that had such a strong connection was the Autavia Reference 1163T Chronomatic.
