To celebrate celebrate Heuer’s 150th anniversary, Tag Heuer, based on the the shape of the Monaco watch, has created the Tag Heuer Monaco V4 in a limited edition of 150 pieces. It is reported that the first piece will be auctioned off at the Only Watch 2009.
Well, I am an appearance person. I have to admit that I was really surprised and amazed by the distinctive looking and the contemporary style of Monaco V4 limited Edition. I could not even believe that Tag Heuer had created it. It seems that a watch of such beauty should only exist in dreams! But now, it becomes reality. The open-worked dial that shows off part of the exceptional movement gives the first visual attack. And I believe few Tag Heuer watches lovers can resist such perfect mixture of aesthetic design and mechanical beauty. By the way, the dial displays only hours and minutes and has a power reserve indicator.And to my knowledge, V4 limited edition is the only Tag Heuer watch made of platinum.
To true watch lovers, the secret beneath its charming appearance is enchanting! Well, the Monaco V4 is the first watch fitted with a belt-driven movement with 52-hours power reserve and the accuracy at plus or minus 4 seconds a day. The power is stored in in four barrels visible in the rear,and that it is why it is called V4. And another unique feature of V4 is that it has automatic winding system. Instead of having a rotor that oscillates, it has a weight that moves in a linear fashion up and down – just like a piston almost. That movement acts to move gears that wind the mainspring. Besides, the movement adopts mini ball bearings rather than synthetic rubies to have lowest friction between gears and palettes.
Except the one being auctioned, the price for each Tag Heuer Monaco V4 Limited Edition is likely to be $40,000.And I just wonder if Tag Heuer Monaco V4 Limited Edition will steal the show from the Tag Heuer 24 Concept Chronograph which is very hot this year when they are exhibited at the same place.
