Never really noticed before how these new dashtimers have the underglass rounded bezel look, just like the new Carrera glassbox. 😎
Ha! Passing on the family synergy.

Looks good at 58mm! Just kidding, I have no idea how wide the timer is.

The other thing I noticed is that the outer seconds track and tachymeter scale both do not seem to be aligned straight! ::facepalm1::

I think it might be an optical illusion.

Caused by the glassbox distortion? LOL 😜

Could be because of how deep the dial seems to be. Which might be causing an illusion of misalignment from the outer scales to the inner ones. Would need a direct head on close up to be sure.

But both the 60 and 30 on the outer bezel look askew, relative to the center line of the top pusher/crown. Don't think the angle of the shot would be the reason, since the 60 is skewed to the left of center and the 30 to the right.

That's what I thought.

Maybe you are right. In any case, since this is not a real product, no one should lose any sleep over this.

Nah, it's all in fun, nothing serious. OTOH, these dashboard timers are meant to highlight TAG Heuer's prowess. You'd think they'd make sure all the details are just right.

Here's another shot. The bezel on the clock on the left looks relatively straight. But the bezel on the chrono on the right still looks crooked.😵‍💫

Also looking at the 15 and the 45 we can see that the bezel is slightly turned anticlockwise. Is this bezel supposed to be fixed?

That's the other thing I was considering. Maybe they have a rotating internal bezel, through some side control mechanism. 😕
