·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.

In this wonderful forum, we all come into watch collecting from different perspectives. Some are all about the design and beauty of watches, others about the feeling on wrist, some care for heritage and history, others spend their days hand winding their movements for excitement, some enjoy flexing their wealth by wearing expensive brands, some are fascinated by the technology of movements and so on. No matter what gets you going, everyone is welcome to discuss all the good and the bad related to TAG Heuer. There is one thing everyone has in common... we all love, adore and are ridiculously passionate about our favourite watch brand TAG Heuer.

Richard Mille offers the RM65-01 with a movement made by Vaucher at a price of $310,000. And for those wanting more complicated complications, A. Lange & Sohne offers the Double Split and the Triple Split.

·Okay then, so maybe the price isn't so ridiculous*... but it's still butt ugly.
*Maybe still ridiculous for a TAG Heuer though.

Richard Mille RM65-01 (movement name: RMAC4)
Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda Chronor Anniversaire (movement name PF361) - 2017 release, CHF 135,000, white/rose gold case
Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Split Seconds Chronograph (movement name: upgraded PF361) - 2021 release, CHF 155,000, platinum case
Richard Mille RM65-01 (movement name: RMAC4)
Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda Chronor Anniversaire (movement name PF361) - 2017 release, CHF 135,000, white/rose gold case
Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Split Seconds Chronograph (movement name: upgraded PF361) - 2021 release, CHF 155,000, platinum case

·I love that Parmigiani does the same movement but in precious metal cases for the same, sometimes even lower, price

·Wei does a much better job of selling this here, and it definitely looks better here than in that godawful render.
So apparently TAG made a lot more of this than we thought also.
Genuinely LOLed at 6:36...

·I love that you pop in every now and then to be condenscending about our beloved forum and its enthusiastic members. Who are you to say that many members are not interested in this watch or to imply that our members are not smart enough to read your blog post because it has 4 179 words.
I accidentally sounded snarky in my post and Jeff defended everyone by saying that it takes a special kind of hardcore watch enthusiast to read that long of an article.
...but back to the watches.
Forget the high-end, when are TAG going to apply their Haute Horological expertise to making a three hander that doesn't fall apart 😗

At least this time there is a clear mention of getting the base movement from Vaucher, unlike the great controversy of Calibre 1887 where JCB got caught 😗

Everyone knows Richard Mille are laughably overpriced bling garbage robbery invitations though. The only people who actually wear them are those who are paid to do so

Wow.
I miss DC, he was much less offensive when shilling for TH.

·I personally like the looks of the new rattrapante. I am probably one of the few people on here who actually liked the skeleton designs from the JCB era. I also appreciate the innovations Tag has tried with the Isograph and the V4 and I think the sapphire case on this is a cool innovation. However, I still think the pricing on this piece is a complete miss. Yes, Patek and Lange offer traditional dual column wheel rattrapantes at similar prices, but those brands are also giving you copious amounts of hand finished anglage, jewel sinks with polished chamfered edges, black polished screws, precious metal cases, etc... I just don't see that level of finishing here. Much of it still looks rather industrial from the photos I have seen. I think a price of around $50k could have been somewhat justified and still been a halo piece for the brand that some people actually purchase. Priced at near $150k, I think it falls more inline with Richard Mille, a brand known for being overpriced. But that was probably intentional so that Max can stand on the podium with a watch similar in price to the other racers on the podium. We will see what effects (if any) this piece has on moving the brand up market.

I've specifically held off on giving the Monaco split-seconds a COCO score as I feel there's much to take in. The looks are polarizing, the price is a non-starter, but I do like that TAG is trying to push the boundaries of "avant-garde". So the jury is still out for me.
I must say the panda looks great on Julien's wrist, that's what I kept looking at throughout the video. LOL

·My initial thoughts on the Panda was it taking inspiration from the 7753sn also. Just because of the 2 register dial. I guess the C shape case of the 1153s is the difference.
You know for years I've been saying I wanted TAG Heuer to do a reissue of the Ford v Ferrari. But as much as I like this new panda, it doesn't look like the 7753sn to me, I'd never feel like I'm wearing the Ford v Ferrari. Not in the way the 18k gold glassbox panda evokes the 1158chn for example, which was also using the '70s C-case, like the 1153S.

I agree that, at 85 grams, I will definitely not feel this one on my wrist. 😉

·I knew it would look better on the black perforated from the Reverse Panda.
I'm on the lookout for something with red stitching

·I suppose since the 7753 was Heuer's first two register panda, all 2 register pandas that come after it take inspiration from it.

I agree it doesn't give the same vibes as the 1158CHN. That piece is the absolute best.
