TAG HEUER & THE CARRERA COLLECTION: A UNIQUE HISTORY DRIVEN BY PASSION The prestigious and pioneering history of the TAG Heuer Carrera began in the pits and paddocks of the racing circuit, and it continues to be one of the driving forces behind the brand today. It all started in 1962 when Jack Heuer, who was serving as timekeeper in the Twelve Hours of Sebring, met two young and talented drivers, the Rodriguez brothers. They told him about a legendary race: the Carrera Panamericana Mexico Road Race. He was immediately struck by the name Carrera, which in his words, was “dynamic, elegant, easily pronounced in all languages and charged with emotion." In 1964, he launched the first timepiece to carry the Carrera name. Since then, it has enjoyed timeless popularity and is now one of TAG Heuer most iconic and best selling series. The TAG Heuer Grand CARRERA powered by exclusive TAG Heuer Calibre RS automatic movements. With the TAG Heuer Grand CARRERA, TAG Heuer projects the Carrera DNA and spirit into the 21st century, with a bigger, bolder and better combination of design and technology than ever before, Inspired by motor racing’s never-ending rollout of technical and aesthetic innovations, TAG Heuer’s award-winning R&D team began working on the Grand Carrera project in 2005. The goal was not to substitute the iconic Carrera, but to expand it into new watchmaking territories and technologies, bringing it more in line with contemporary motor-racing styling and performance in general, and GT cars in particular. The result is the new GT engine-inspired Rotating System, a breakthrough technology that marks a completely new way to display time, powered by a new generation of exclusive movements : the TAG Heuer Calibre RS movements encompassing several Calibres from the simple and timeless mechanical watch to complex mechanical chronographs. The Rotating System indicators are stunning to look at, with their high-luxury Côtes de Genève decorations and polished beveling. They are also one of the line’s most impressive innovations, as they enable the user to read small seconds, a second time zone and/or chronograph time effortlessly, intuitively and instantaneously, giving him at-a-glance, cockpit-fast access to the information he needs. The new TAG Heuer Grand Carrera Collection is a perfect expression of the subtle fusion of timeless elegance with the passion for mechanics and technical innovation.
