This may be a stupid question, but my brain is frazzled this morning and I can't think, but do you own any 'TAG Heuers'... or is it just Heuer Monacos?
Pretty sure he has a calibre 1887 Carrera with correct logo 👍
Let's hope so!😒
LOL. Yes, I have several with the TAG Heuer logo. 2 F1s, 5 Carrerars, 1 Autavia, and the 2 Connected.

Or is it maybe “Heuer by TAG Heuer” 😉
The rest of the collection, as Albert pointed out, are Heritage Heuer branded models by TAG Heuer.

Good question. Now that you mention it, I think @Hubert sticks mainly with the "heritage" models. From his vast collection, I recall Monacos, Carreras, Autavias, and maybe a Silverstone (?) or Monza (?), but not sure I've seen a "TAG"... 🤔
The one I'm missing is the Silverstone. I have yet to get one of those. 😀

Though I do have a Rally Master.

Someday there might be a TAG Heuer exhibit in your name - the @Hubert Collection. ::rimshot::

Many thanks! Not pictured here are the Heritage models (Carreras, Autavias, Monza and of course the Monacos).
Here's an incomplete picture of the Carreras.

Yes, a really amazing collection!! 🥰

We should ask him to organize the “TAG Heuer Museum in Motion, by @Hubert😉

😁 With only his watches with the TAG Heuer logo, he's already forming a great collection! 👍

And I spot the two generations of the TAG Heuer Connected... maybe the third is coming in 2020? 😉

They are part of the Carrera family, and they make a nice technological contrast in his Carrera box 👍

They definitely are not Carreras!

That book is a travesty of errors so it definitely isn't the last word on what is and is not a Carrera.

So you think that this -clearly official- book from TAG Heuer about the Carrera, would include 69 pages talking about the Connected by mistake, and without supervision from the brand?... 😵‍💫



OK, in that case, is the Official Press release of the TAG Heuer Connected Modular 45, official enough on what is and is not a Carrera? 😉

This is part of the TAG Heuer Press release:


You can download the full press release here:

A 69 page mistake would not be the only one in that book. Official though it is, it was not proof read.

The Connected is as much a Carrera as the mutant Carreras - i.e. not at all.

You can post links to as many press releases and excerpts from books as you like, in my view the Connected is a smart watch not a Carerra.

Final thought, if it is a Carrera, how come you can make it look like a round 'Monaco' or an Autavia for example?

Do you mean no one from TAG Heuer would have noticed there were 69 pages (25% of the book!!!) plus the cover, talking about the Connected, if that was a mistake? 😉

Yes, it’s obviously a smartwatch: the smartwatch of the Carrera collection 😁
Maybe we can see in the future a Monaco Connected, a Formula 1 Connected... who knows?

What I posted is the official TAG Heuer Press release from when the TAG Heuer Connected Modular 45 was launched. There’s nothing more Official than that on what is and is not a Carrera. I’m sorry but, unless you were the new Mr. Biver at TAG Heuer, it’s that Official TAG Heuer statment that counts on what is a Carrera, not your opinion 😉

Final thought, if it is a Carrera, how come you can make it look like a round 'Monaco' or an Autavia for example?
The factory installed watchfaces are only from Carrera models, as you can see in this screenshot from my iPhone app, and you can clearly read on them “CARRERA CONNECTED”:


And the available mechanical modules are only Carrera models: Carrera Calibre 5, Calibre 16, and Heuer 02 Tourbillon

But as with any other Wear OS smartwatch, you can install an app called “WatchMaker”, and then you can download hundreds of other custom watchfaces (including Monacos, Autavias, Monzas, Montreals...), or even design your own watchface.

If we -the Connected owners- were 100% purists with the Connected, we should wear only Carrera watchfaces, agree, but it’s also very fun to play with more options, with other TAG Heuer and Heuer watchfaces... because we buy this watch to enjoy it. I’m sure you would do the same if you were owning one! 👍

Surely a Connected Monaco would make a lot of sense, it would have a square screen for a start...

Albert, I think you need to stop your evangalism of the Connected. Not everyone agrees with you, so get used to it.

Perhaps you could consider not posting the same pictures to 2 or more threads every day and give some of us a break from your preaching.

So this is your way of recognizing that you were wrong (when you claimed that the Connected was not from the Carrera family): silencing who demonstrates you - with obvious evidence - that you were wrong. All very democratic

I was just answering your - false - statements, and your questions. You are so free to attack the Connected as vehemently as I do to defend it. The difference is that I have the brand of my side ... until you become the new TAG Heuer CEO, of course! 😁

This was already discussed a long time ago. I post different pictures in the specific Connected thread about the watchfaces (with links and different info), and in the generic “what’s on your wrist?” thread. If you are not interested in watchfaces for the Connected, why are you reading that specific thread? 😉

There are more members posting the same or similar pictures in different threads, because sometimes they match more than one thread, but I don’t read any criticism against them... maybe you can give us a break from your attack on the Connected 😉
