Description
A legendary icon, the Monaco is to watchmaking history what Steve McQueen is to cinema. For when two myths like these meet, history is made. The square-faced case traveled the world as far and wide as the classic film Le Mans — a forerunner to TAG Heuer's ongoing partnership with motor racing. Beyond the legend, however, there is, above all, a sleek automatic chronograph that stands out from the pack. Avant-Garde timepiece, it surprised the watch-making universe in 1969 by imposing a unique style, with its square and unexpected design in the watch-making world of that time.Emotional timepiece, it made the passionate persons vibrate at the rate of its famous Calibre 11, recognizable with its crown on the left. Legendary timepiece, the Monaco will remain forever the embodiment of the motor racing universe, and above all that of Steeve McQueen. Forty years later, the series Monaco remains more than ever a collection of exception, symbol of boldness and excellence. To celebrate with pride this anniversary, TAG Heuer re-launches this iconic chronograph in a limited edition of one thousand pieces.
