TAG Heuer Carrera Micrograph Commemorative Edition Replica Watches

100 years ago, in 1916, replica TAG Heuer introduced the world’s first mechanical stopwatch that vibrated at 360,000 times per hour and could measure down to 1/100th of a second.
Charles Auguste Heuer, son of founder Edouard Heuer, joined the Heuer development team in 1914.
The request was, “Let’s make a clock that is 5 to 10 times more accurate than any existing clock,” and the clock was completed after about two years of trial and error.

It was a micrograph that could measure up to 1/100 of a second.
The Micrograph is a monumental achievement that will remain in the history of TAG Heuer, which has been working on chronograph mechanism research since its founding.
From the first dashboard clock, Autavia (1933), to the first chronograph wristwatch, Autavia (1962),
Carrera (1963), an iconic watch inspired by motor racing; Caliber 11 (1969), one of the first automatic chronographs;
And Mikrogirder (2012), an unprecedented concept watch that vibrates 250 times faster than any other mechanical watch and can measure up to 5/10,000 seconds.
TAG Heuer has consistently cast a shadow over some of the most important and innovative replica watches of all time.
Micrographs are particularly popular, such as Caliber 360 released in 2006 and the Carrera Micrograph 1/100 Second Chronograph released in 2011.
It had a decisive influence on the creation of watches that can be considered a modern wristwatch version of the micrograph.
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the launch of the Mikrograph this year, TAG Heuer introduced the new Carrera Mikrograph Anniversary edition.

The Carrera Micgraph Commemorative Edition is based on the hi-beat automatic chronograph movement installed in the Carrera Micgraph model of the same name previously announced in 2011.
However, there are notable differences from the previous model in that the crown and pusher are located at 12 o’clock instead of 3 o’clock (so-called bullhead style) and a date display function has been added.
The Micrograph 1/100 automatic chronograph caliber uses 11 patents and a total of 480 parts.
With its double barrel construction, it operates with two separate going trains and mechanisms (one for the time and one for the chronograph).
In other words, for normal time display, the balance vibrates at 28,800 times per hour (4 hertz) and has a power reserve of 42 hours.
When the 1/100 second chronograph function is activated, the watch will vibrate at 360,000 times per hour (50 hertz) and the power reserve will be limited to less than 100 minutes.

The chronograph function is operated by two independent kinematic chain systems that control normal and high vibrations.
This principle ensures the original precision and operational stability of the watch while reducing energy loss without affecting the overall operation of the movement.
