We continue our review of Watches & Wonders 2022 with TAG Heuer. The house of La Chaux-de-Fonds presents this year 6 new models. And the whole range is concerned: Carrera, Aquaracer, Monaco, etc. There is something for every taste. A brief overview of TAG Heuer news.

Without question, it is the star of the show. A true technical demonstration. In 2019, TAG Heuer had already created the event by offering a Swiss tourbillon at an – almost -affordable price. This year, TAG Heuer is going even further, betting on a major innovation, called “ Avant Garde Diamonds“. They are actually artificial diamonds, made in a laboratory. And to launch this new technology, TAG Heuer associated it with its best-selling chronograph, the Carrera, and presenting the Carrera Plasma Tourbillon Nanograph. We therefore find a new version of the Carrera Tourbillon, this time with a case in aluminum sandblasted black anodized 44mm in diameter, studded with encrusted diamonds. The crown is made entirely of “avant-garde diamond”. Finally, the dial features a unique texture, made of a multitude of tiny diamonds. Such spectacular styling that you almost forget that the Carrera Plasma is powered by a tourbillon movement, COSC certified. But beyond the watch itself, undoubtedly the most incredible ever created by TAG Heuer, we must also remember the new possibilities offered by the manufacture of artificial diamonds.
