·The Monacos are meant to be halo pieces to showcase the horological achievement - much like the carrera plasma. Short of seeing these on the red carpet and as highlighters in a showcase event, I don't see anyone dropping 140k on these

So if the Red is Deadpool, does that make the Blue Wolverine? It's gotta be one of the X-Men.

·Jesus, the 60th Panda looks amazing.
When comparing those 2 pieces, look how weak the TH logo looks compared to the masterpiece that is “Heuer”

·Can we at least pretend to have read Jeff's article?

I expect that many participants in this forum are not sufficiently interested in the watch to go to the effort to read my posting; at 4,179 words, it's a shade on the long side. If the discussion is about the choice of nicknames or quick reactions to the look of the watch, then my posting is only minimally relevant in any event. It's written for people who enjoy learning about TAG Heuer's brand history and the development of their current watches; those topics are not often discussed here.
So let the discussion roll on, but by all means don't waste the time to read by posting.

After all, TAG chose to make a more affordable haute horlogerie rattrapante, rather than a more affordable economy rattrapante that would fit better in the current catalogue (and allow us mortals to afford one). Maybe they're only starting with the halo product first.

·Haha, all in jest. I enjoyed your article and thought it added to the conversation.

Perhaps TAG Heuer's experience with the Carrera Tourbillons is instructive. When you strip out every dollar of production cost to democratize the watch, and disrupt the market, it becomes difficult to then move the watch "up market". When people are seeing the entry-level tourbillon in the $15K to $25K range, TAG Heuer can't then upgrade the watch to hit the $30K to $50K market. The less expensive models create a cloud, rather than a halo.
But perhaps you can start with the $140K Rattrapante (and it's massive halo) and then find ways to introduce some more affordable models.
Of course, these kinds of moves take a lot of time.
