Car and watch lovers alike have fallen for this all-new TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph — unveiled this year to celebrate the first Monaco released 55 years ago in 1969. Built in Grade 5 titanium, the square watch is light in weight and dynamite in looks. It is powered by a skeletonized mechanical split-seconds chronograph movement (made in partnership with Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier) that operates at 5Hz for extreme precision. A sapphire caseback allows for viewing of the movement with its race-inspired checkered motif on the rotor.

Tag Heuer believes that it is these moments that are also the most significant, and hence time should always be precise and dependable to ensure that you can seize it.

Its timepieces make it possible to capture sporting performance to the very smallest fragment of time.Tag Heuer's success in exactitude crowned it the first watchmaking brand to sponsor the Formula 1 World Championship. From its Mikrograph chronograph that is five times more accurate than any other to the Tag Heuer Carrera Plasma - the first watch to feature lab-grown diamonds - its watches are indicative of horology's best triumphs and remarkable milestones. The watchmaker exemplifies that innovation can be eco-conscious and conflict-free, having employed the Kimberly process since 2003 to ensure that all of its diamonds comply with UN resolutions.
