Available in a rose gold limited edition of 150 timepieces only, the new timepiece brings an original stopwatch innovation to the wrists of modern motor-racing enthusiasts who seek ultimate precision." Can't imagine any of the Chinese mvmts are going to be modded to rep this thing - I like the look of it though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TAGster 5 Posted February 1, 2011 When TAG say "360,000" beats per hour they are talking about the 1/100 chronograph assortment, the chronometer (time keeping) assortment has a normal 28,800 beats per hour. Let´s say TAG Heuer has integrated a pure 1/100th second chronograph into a chronometer. This piece has two independent sets of balance wheel, escapement and transmission systems. What a marketing trick can do, isn´t it? It is well known TAG is using more marketing tricks nowadays, so it sounds very impressive to see/hear "360,000 bph", but this only apply to the chronograph assortment, not to the whole movement, because 360,000 bph is not useful for time keeping function. It is good to know this is a limited edition of 150 pieces (50 for 2011 and 100 for 2012) with a price tag of 50,000 USD. Cheers mates!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
