Given the look of the new soon-to-be-officially-announced Autavia chronograph, I think TAG's design direction is really going to the dogs. After that I don't think I have much confidence that they'll come up with something decent for the Monaco's 50th anniversary
I will reserve my comments, until the models are officially revealed. Given the TH timeline, the reveals might be in stages.
With a little luck they'll abort it the way they did with last year's Autavia watches, and try again. 'Course, that didn't turn out so well for the Autavia anyway so
Was listening the the Hodinkee podcast this morning and James (I think it was) told this story about how he had asked over and over that they should just please show the upcoming anniversary Monaco, I will not post pictures of it etc etc. He keeps repeating that Tag claimed that they are currently working on the designs and that they had nothing to show.
I am rambling, either way I recommend listening to the Basel episodes of the Hodinkee radio if you have not already.
I wonder who was shown that brown Monaco and why...
The photo of the Monaco looks pretty nicely lit and staged - if it was a dealer who took the photo, he's quite talented...
If it's anything like that, that's saved me a lot of $ 😁

It's actually worse, it looks like a brown stained fence. I'm not joking.
That's harsh. It's a pretty poor photo but I think it looks pretty good with an interesting and unique dial design.
Again, I promise you that there was no deliberate leak of the Monaco. Behind the scenes TAG Heuer contacted anyone who posted the photo and asked them to take it down immediately- and were on the lookout for any rogue images being posted. You wouldn't go to this trouble if you really wanted the photos to get out.
