The First Watch Feature Belt Drives - TAG Heuer Monaco V4

In 2004, replica TAG Heuer Monaco V4 concept watch dispensed with a conventional gear train and oscillating mass, instead employing belt drives, a linear mass and ball bearings.

The TAG Heuer Monaco V4 Tourbillon, released earlier this year at Baselworld 2014, brings together the brave new world know-how of the Monaco V4 and fuses it with Breguet’s breathtaking whirlwind invention of 1801. The tourbillon is located at 9 o’clock and visible from the front of the watch. Whilst it contains a conventional balance wheel and escapement, rotating within a cage, in this instance, belts drive the tourbillon carriage. By adopting this approach, TAG Heuer has cleverly brought together both a traditional and highly regarded complication, the tourbillon, with an avant-garde approach to power transmission. The result is a technical tour de force, delivering much mechanical virtue.

The case shares some of the design codes of the original Monaco, made famous by its appearance on Steve McQueen’s wrist in the film Le Mans (1971), however, it exudes an abundance of modernity. Constructed of “space-grade black titanium”, it looks like it has arrived from another planet. The shiny black appearance has a sensual aesthetic, evoking a slightly mysterious persona.

The hour and minute hands are black-coated and lined with white luminescent material to their centres. Along with the aesthetic appeal of the watch design, the timepiece is also a highly practical ownership proposition with peerless ease of read-off, obvious within the first few moments of association.
