Grand Carrera 36 Rs Caliper 2009

Designing the future together

Modern, innovative, timeless: values that unite TAG Heuer and sportscar designer Ken Okuyama. So it was natural for him to design a sportscar inspired by our Tag Heuer Grand Carrera.

Racing and sportscars have inspired some of our most famous timepieces. From the Caliper Concept Chronograph the flow of ideas ran the other way. Ken collects our chronographs. He had a brainwave: create a sportscar reflecting their futuristic designs and materials. And so the K.O 7 was born.

Both car and timepiece use lightweight materials, like titanium and carbon. Technically, this chronograph is a breakthrough. It makes 10ths of seconds superbly easy to read, by magnifying them ten times. That's where the caliper rotating scale comes in.
You can watch time happening in close-up.

Modern yet timeless, the K.O 7 echoes the watch, and its dashboard sports a Caliper Concept Chronograph. With its dial and buttons reminiscent of the car's interior, the watch echoes the car. Making future technology happen now is the vision that unites Ken Okuyama and TAG Heuer.
