Calibre 17
Automatic Chronograph
Jack Heuer Edition
41 mm Limited edition

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 chronograph. The large opening with counters at 3 and 9 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.

TAG Heuer CARRERA

MEN Watches

The contemporary sports watch inspired by motor racing

Originally designed by Jack Heuer as a tribute to the legendary Tag Heuer Carrera Panamerica Mexico, the TAG Heuer Carrera is instilled with the same bold spirit as the gentlemen drivers who raced there. Reinvented and reinterpreted many times, the elegant TAG Heuer Carrera chronograph remains a contemporary legend.

Named after the legendary Tag Heuer Carrera Panamericana Mexico road race, the Tag Heuer Carrera range has graced the wrists of many racing giants. In 1887, Edouard Heuer made history with the oscillating pinion. In 2010, for our 150th anniversary, we gave it new life and re-engineered it in-house, to create the Calibre 1887 chronograph, which won the “La Petite Aiguille” 2010 Best Watch of the Year Award at the Grand Prix de l’Horlogerie de Genève. This year, TAG Heuer is reaffirming its watchmaking and motor racing heritage with a prestigious new collection.
