2020 TAG Heuer Carrera Sports Chronograph

Great table. I think it needs some ‘definitions’ to help fine tune it. Affordable can also be luxurious. And when you split the brands are you talking of historically or also including the re-issues with the ‘old’ branding. It will become a complex table no doubt but then again it is not a simple lineup!

The splitting of the Brands is thought to be related to the current collection. So the vintage watches are those with the 'Heuer' logo on them. The price categories could be divided at 9'000 or 10'000 USD or something today, but I think there's no sharp borderline there.
Of course it could be much more complex, but I tried to keep it simple.

I've added the Monza GPHG winner, and '...' for future re-editions like Silverstone or something.

Does the 'very high' movement mean Heuer 02? If so, the F1 also has the Heuer 02.

Mr_Orange · Jul 12, 2020

So does the Autavia.

Is the Heuer02 still in the current line-up though? The Fragment F1 is...

I've always wanted to make a chart showing the life cycles of each product line, but everytime I start I realise how tricky it is.

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.

Ah right... I was thinking of the Nanograph, I was forgetting about the tourbillons.

Chart taking shape nicely.

This thread is breeding the next generation of Tag Heuer think tank just fine 😉👍

In the video, the date "8" doesn't seem to be centered 😲😲 It should have been white numbers on black background IMHO. But in general, that's a great looking modern watch! I'm sure it will be a hit for non-TH and TH enthusiasts alike 😉

Good spot, and yes maybe white on black would have been better...

The same person posted a new video of the blue version of the Carrera Heuer 02 44mm. I think I would have preferred a slightly brighter blue.

The video also provides a nice sideways shot of the lug-to-lug structure. I like how the lugs and the flanks of the case merge organically into each other such that you can't tell where one begins and the other ends. Note also how the brushed bevel on top of the lugs runs continuously over the case and into the lugs on the other side.
