Monaco V4 Anthracite ALLIGATOR bracelet

Monaco V4 World’s first belt-driven transmission
Rose Gold

The MONACO V4 is an incredible achievement which took the TAG Heuer R&D teams five years of relentless effort to turn into a commercial reality. The patented belt-driven transmission is a high-yield relay of five notched micro drivebelts whose tension is controlled by two turnbuckles. A second patent was granted for the innovative linear mass, replacing the classic oscillating mass. Mounted on the world’s smallest ball bearings, the 12g tungsten ingot moves up and down between two pairs of V-shaped barrels (hence the name V4). The barrels are angled at +/- 13 degrees, like the cylinders of a high-performance racing engine.

Revolutionizing the fundamental principles of mechanical watchmaking

The Monaco V4 is the world’s first watch with belt drives, linear mass and ball bearings. Industrialized and entirely hand manufactured in TAG Heuer workshops, this double patented timepiece is the next step forward in the evolution of TAG Heuer’s iconic squared-faced Monaco — the audacious chronograph first seen on Steve McQueen’s wrist in the 1970 race film classic, Le Mans. This breakthrough innovation redefines the accepted conventions of watch engineering and aesthetics.
