New Post: TAG Heuer Monaco 50th Anniversary Watch 4: 1999-09 Limited Edition

Like others have said, I too think this watch has a very retro look to it. A bit ironic for a design that's supposed to represent the 2000s.

Another group shot from the Tokyo launch. Funny how they're using #1's box to display #4.

The IG post also has individual wrist shots of each watch:

I would like to see number 4 lined up next to them too. I think it would play really well off the red dial version too. They’d make a great pair of one loud and one more casual.

I recently put together a visual wish list of watches and selected only 1 from each decade from the 1960s to now.

Part of the fun was restricting my choices to just 1 piece from each decade, but not being too only focused on styling from those particular eras.

The 2000s gave me the most trouble. Plenty of nice TH watches, but felt like nothing was unique or distinct enough or overtly stood out from a design or standpoint. Or perhaps nothing I personally connected with. I just can’t identity what makes design or culture from the aughts period actually look “2000s.” 60s, 70s, 80s all had plenty of good options. 90s and 10s were personal choices. 00s left me stranded.

It’s slightly unrelated but thought I’d share.

Very Nice!
That was fast! Did you get it from a TH Boutique or the TH website or other? If from a Boutique, did they give you any other Monaco 50 goodies to go with it?

 

[Hubert]

Thanks! From a boutique, but unfortunately no Monaco 50 goodies.

so....... when you see them all lined up like that in real life which is your favourite? Do you have one that you gravitate towards more than the others?

 

[sharknight]

Regrettably missed out on watch 2, so have not seen that in the metal, but yes I gravitate to watch 3 so for me of the ones I have I go watch 3, then 1 then 4 ...so far...

Thanks for the insight. Very few of us will have the opportunity to line so many of them up in a row!
