Carole Forestier, who was previously at Cartier and before that Renaud et Papi, is something of a legend in watchmaking. She was very much part of the Only Watch project and will take a big leadership role in bringing new innovation and elevation to TAG Heuer. It is funny especially with the specialized press, as soon as they found out Carole was with us, they were all asking, “What is she doing?” Well, she already worked on this project as well as the Plasma but more than that she is behind our entire movement strategy that we are rolling out. We have developments in-house. We have close developments with partners. She is overseeing all the new movements that we launched. The TH30-00, the TH50-00, the great Solargraph in the solar-powered Aquaracer— she worked on all of these.

^ From the interview:
I am still hopeful that someday they'll reissue a revival of the original Calibre 11 movement. Time will tell!
