I can't help but feel that some other brands are doing TAG Heuer better than TAG Heuer
I've been thinking about chronographs from the last few years that have black dials and black subdials similar to the new 44mm Carrera with those colors. I recall four watches, as shown below. I think the 44mm Carrera is the best looking one of the bunch. Its hands and hour markers are the best.
A close second would be the Bell & Ross BR-V2-94, which is 41mm and well proportioned. Screw-down pushers always look badass.
By far the most disappointing one is the Jaeger Lecoultre model. The shape of the hands and hour indices look clumsy, and the font for the 12 and 6 looks like Comic Sans.

There are certainly things I would change about it, including those numbers and the pushers, but if I could have any of those 4, it would be the JLC! 😀
Very high is meant to be the Heuer02T in the current range. Or the Monaco V4 and the mikrogirder in the past etc. So I did another correction in the chart there and removed the X from the current Monaco line , cause the V4 is not in the current collection.
@Albert-AMG I posted recently (int hsi thread I think) that an automatic along the lines of the new connect case and pusher design would look fantastic I think. I agree the new ones are not avant-garde at all. They are subtle tweaks to age old designs.
Probably not unless you're into these half-assed vestigial running seconds hands they're doing now. Some may like it and that's fine, but for me they will ruin an otherwise well-designed watch.
Wow, you really don't like the running seconds do you?
I find it to be a subtle implementation compared with some offerings.
Is the Calibre 17 of the Monza considered just a 'medium' quality movement?
