Monaco V4 Brown ALLIGATOR bracelet

Monaco V4 World’s first belt-driven transmission
Anthracite

The MONACO V4 is an incredible achievement which took the TAG Heuer R&D teams five years of relentless effort to turn into a commercial reality. The patented belt-driven transmission is a high-yield relay of five notched micro drivebelts whose tension is controlled by two turnbuckles. A second patent was granted for the innovative linear mass, replacing the classic oscillating mass. Mounted on the world’s smallest ball bearings, the 12g tungsten ingot moves up and down between two pairs of V-shaped barrels (hence the name V4). The barrels are angled at +/- 13 degrees, like the cylinders of a high-performance racing engine.

With its square shape and automatic chronograph, the MONACO V4 recalls the original Monaco series. But its complex design, clearly visible through sapphire glass front and back, shows how truly evolved watchmaking can become. The case of latest V4 is made of Titanium Grade 5, a special alloy used in aircrafts, turbines and surgical implants. The MONACO V4 TITANIUM AND CERAMIC boasts completely revisited finishes, with a high-resistance black ruthenium coating on the main plate and Côtes de Genève decorated bridges. The beautiful black juxtaposes superbly with the white “V4” and “TAG Heuer” engravings on the dial.

Revolutionizing the fundamental principles of mechanical watchmaking

The Monaco V4 is the world’s first watch with belt drives, linear mass and ball bearings. Industrialized and entirely hand manufactured in TAG Heuer workshops, this double patented timepiece is the next step forward in the evolution of TAG Heuer’s iconic squared-faced Monaco — the audacious chronograph first seen on Steve McQueen’s wrist in the 1970 race film classic, Le Mans. This breakthrough innovation redefines the accepted conventions of watch engineering and aesthetics.
