Last year TAG Heuer showed the Monaco V4 Concept Watch. The TAG Heuer Calibre 360 Concept watch is the world's most accurate wrist chronograph.
To ensure precision adjustment and independent operation, the basis of the Calibre 360 Concept Chronograph is an automatic movement, the TAG Heuer Calibre 7, with a power-reserve of 42 hours and a heart beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour.







Swiss Watch maker talk from the press-release explaining the new wonder wristwatch:
"What is most extraordinary about the Calibre 360 movement is that the chronograph function is not just a "module" added on to the automatic watch movement. With its barrel, separate manual winding system, gearwheel and the independent balance wheel and spiral mechanism, it is a genuine and wholly separate movement, a chronograph with a power-reserve counter and a quick-rotating barrel that offers 100 minutes of power reserve, plus its most remarkable component: a single-pallet escapement wheel and special balance wheel. The high-precision mechanism, specially created and hand-assembled, provides an unbelievable oscillating frequency of 360,000 vibrations per hour. With such a high-powered system, the Calibre 360 creates a new milestone in Swiss watchmaking history. The quantum leap to 360,000 vibrations per hour from usually 28,800 or 36,000 could be compared to a Formula 1 engine jumping from 18,000 rpm to 180,000 rpm !"
