Description
Subtlety and Technology Subtle combination between the groundbreaking heritage of the Monaco and quest for innovation, the Monaco V4 Rose Gold - Silicon Nitride blends audacity and subtlety, strength and elegance, technology and softness. The beveled and arched sapphire crystal, curves down to join the rose gold and silicon nitride sides uncovering the movement's escapement and the unique transmission belts. The 2 pairs of barrels can be seen through the caseback which is trisected with 3 glass apertures.Avant-Garde and EleganceThere is no reading dial per se. The polished beveled indexes are fixed directly to seven black titanium carbide coating bridges with Côtes de Genve. Every complex surface and dihedral angle is fined polished to the highest haute-horlogerie standards. The small second hand is distinctively off-centered at 4 o'clock. The rose gold hour and minute hands are faceted and fine-brushed.Strength and MinimalismAt the beginnings of the third millennium, the TAG Heuer Monaco V4 represents a complete break with tradition and the audacious next step in the watchmaking world. A bold technical masterwork unlike any watch ever seen or imagined, it both exemplifies luxury Swiss watchmaking tradition at its finest, and completely turns that heritage upside down and inside out. The Monaco V4 is a tribute to the high-tech, high-performance world of motor racing.
