SPEED, EMOTION, PRESTIGE

In 1963, Jack W. Heuer started to work on a new chronograph specifically designed for drivers and motor-racing enthusiasts : The Carrera. A life-long fan of the sport himself, he knew what it was needed: a wide-open, easy-to-read dial and a shock-resistant and waterproof case tough enough for road wear. For the name, he reached back to a racing legend from the 1950s, the Carrera Pan Americana, a five-day race across Mexico. The Carerra remains synonymous with excitement, adventure, and heroism.

The men who wear the CARRERA CALIBRE 1887, like Leonardo DiCaprio, have no reason to show off. They know who they are and what they want. They epitomize class and elegance, which comes naturally. Effortlessly. Masters of the fastest pace, they never rush. They take their time. They control every moment.

CALIBRE 17 AUTOMATIC CHRONOGRAPH 41 mm

Jack Heuer. The man with the vision. The man who designed TAG Heuer’s most iconic modern timepieces, including the original Carrera. This year Jack celebrates his 80th birthday with a new limited edition 41mm chronograph. The large opening with counters at 3 and 9 o’clock comes directly from the original design, in a sunray grey dial with Heuer logo and touch of red. In addition it shows on its back Jack’s signature together with the Heuer family coat of arms, that date back from the 15th century. This coat of arms symbolizes for him the entrepreneurial spirit that has been the driving force now for over 150 years.
