So in the oast year or so we’ve seen many new Monacos, the anniversary Carreras, new H02 based models etc.

Any thoughts on what TH might do next?

anyone think they might delve into the archives for some offbeat re-issues? If so which is most likely?

i’d love them to do another Monza or maybe something a little more offbeat like the (original shape) Skipper or Montreal. All unlikely maybe but can still dream.

Starting to see a few more cushion-case watches out there, so maybe the 2nd-gen Carrera might get a bit of the limelight. Dunno

Heuer 1000, and 1000m Deep Dive reissues please!

(Perfect opportunity to introduce an in-house 3-hand movement too!)

Agree with sir @abrod520 , I’m wishing for a cushion case Heuer Carrera (in gold/champagne panda) Re-Edition powered by a Calibre Heuer 02 (deleted seconds at 6 o’clock) similar to the Heuer Viceroy Autavia Re-Edition. Lots of race legends / champions who wore this, particularly Niki Lauda 👍

Comes with a gold plated milanese bracelet and also a matching leather strap 🥰🥰

Next big thing = in house 3 hander movement with modern specs

At least that is what I hope for

I would buy a modern, (maybe) slightly larger Kirium in a heartbeat!

Difficult to imagine what would be a modern take on the Kirium design, but then again I'm not creative in any way.

40/41mm would be a start. Ceramic bezel. Some new face designs. More refinement on the clasp and screw in crown. I’d not change too much.

But chances of it being made I’m sure a re very slim I’m sure. Whilst a popular lone at the time, it is hardly an icon such as the Monaco & Carrera are.

Wouldn't it be amazing if the next big thing was actually something brand spanking new? Like an actual new watch with a new name that is actually new and nothing to do with the past. Oh silly me, that's never going to happen. 🙄 In twenty years we'll still be holding up the Grand Carrera as the last new watch.... 🙁

Yes. That would be mega cool!

But like you say, Tag would never take that risk

I guess actually the Golf or the SLR is actually the last new watch. The Autavia is a new watch, but....

That would be even better.

I believe TAG Heuer are about to re invent sliced bread and call it ‘Bread Sliced’, something totally new would be nice. How about a take on the Bulgari Octo?

Have we not had enough Carreras this year already, and there's still more to come (come on we all know there is)... what about a brand new Link for example, because the Link is dead in the water right now. Resale value must be shocking, although actually, maybe not.... with so few sold they might actually be quite rare.

Oh and speaking of the Link, I saw that ladies Link with the sundial a few weeks ago and I might have been slightly erroneous in my enthusiasm for it. IRL it is a bit much to be honest.
