New Heuer Carrera Re-edition

[watchcollector1]

Loving this! It's a shame they're only going to make 41 pieces (40 steel and 1 gold) though and It's certainly not cheap!

Any idea what the gold 'ingot' signifies?

It has Joseph Siffert and Ronnie Peterson stamped on it??

Will do a search - they might have been teammates?

Amazing. Hopefully they make a non limited version. The dial is beautiful

I would expect Tag to bring out some kind of non LE edition of this at some point. They very rarely miss a trick if there is a profit to be had.

As said earlier this is one stunning re-edition and with the measurement of 38mm, this is what the Re-edition Autavia should have been.

Nice. But only 40 renders it almost irrelevant to normal buyers.

Every one of those will be sold already.

So it’s a TAG for £8k, with the same terribly unreliable movement as the TAG MP4-12C and a certain brand beginning with AP. Not sure this is how I’d spend that sort of money but each to their own.

I sincerely hope you are right. I read "38mm" and my heart skipped a beat. And the case doesn't look unreasonably tall, either.

Buy yourself an older Carrera and you'll get a better movement and it'll be cheaper, it love tag and have found them to be extremely reliable

The original design is Heuer and there's no Tag branding.

I wouldn't pay £8k for it but It's a desirable watch made in limited numbers so the price is inflated which is pretty much how Rolex and Patek's whole pricing strategy works.

Are they call it a re-edition or an homage? From what I can see, the chronograph is going to be, ah, a little less adept than the original at measuring minutes 31 to 720...

Any photos of the original?

Not the exact original but this is basically the same case design, movement and dial layout:

Sub dials have different functions on the re-edition.

I don't find it interesting at all. And for some reason the sub dials look further apart. Possibly because they're black on silver. I'd far rather have an original Heuer than a TAG homage, Heuer branding or not.

And it's a lot more interesting to look at. These single colour re-editions look a bit boring compared to most of the vintage Heuers i've seen.
