41 mm The utimate chronograph by TAG Heuer

The contemporary sports watch inspired by motor racing. TAG Heuer never rests on its laurels. In 1887, Edouard Heuer made history with the oscillating pinion. For our 150th anniversary, we have given it new life and re-engineered it in-house, to create the Calibre 1887. In 1964, Jack Heuer himself designed the Carrera series, in honor of the 'Carrera Panamericana Mexico', history's most grueling automobile endurance race.

The contemporary sports watch inspired by motor racing

Originally designed by Jack Heuer as a tribute to the legendary Tag Heuer Carrera Panamerica Mexico, the TAG Heuer Carrera is instilled with the same bold spirit as the gentlemen drivers who raced there. Reinvented and reinterpreted many times, the elegant TAG Heuer Carrera chronograph remains a contemporary legend.

Named after the legendary Tag Heuer Carrera Panamericana Mexico road race, the Tag Heuer Carrera range has graced the wrists of many racing giants. In 1887, Edouard Heuer made history with the oscillating pinion. In 2010, for our 150th anniversary, we gave it new life and re-engineered it in-house, to create the Calibre 1887 chronograph, which won the “La Petite Aiguille” 2010 Best Watch of the Year Award at the Grand Prix de l’Horlogerie de Genève. This year, TAG Heuer is reaffirming its watchmaking and motor racing heritage with a prestigious new collection.
