Tag Heuer Watches Make History Again

There are certain watches on the market that are in a whole
different world from the rest.  The kinds of watches that
make people pay thousands of dollars for just to say that
they own one.  With the kinds of things Tag Heuer has done
for the watch industry, they have set their place in
history.  Despite all of the contributions and inventions
they have come forward with, Tag Heuer is now taking it to
the mechanical world.

After many years of pushing the quartz movement to the
extreme, Tag Heuer mechanical movement is just making way.
With the Monaco V4 Concept watch, Tag Heuer has been
working and crafting this watch together starting just a
few years ago.  The idea came about with their involvement
in motor sports, which has sparked the development of the
Monaco V4 Concept watch.

This mechanical movement watch derived the V4 from the
movement of the four barrels.  The four barrels are mounted
on a v-like shaped main plate at a 15-degree angle, much
like that of the cylinders in a motor racing engine.

There are four parts to the watch that have made it a
mechanical movement watch; transmission, friction, torque
and power.  In building the watch, there were several
firsts that Tag Heuer approached to get it up and running.
Because of all of the mechanical movements that correlate
with that of a high-engine motor racing car, several
designers, watchmakers and engineers worked together to
build this revolutionary watch.

In the process, Tag Heuer invented the first patented
drive-belt transmission in a watch movement.  The original
mechanical movement watch ran off of pinions, which was
replaced with the relay of 13 drive belts.  With these 13
drive belts and the linking and turning of two axes in the
same direction, it is much more efficient than by means of
an intermediate wheel.

Another first with this mechanical movement watch was the
linear oscillating mass.  The linear oscillating mass
replaces the oscillating weight that was traditionally used
to wind an automatic watch movement.  This helps make the
rotating movement run much more efficient and smoother.

If that weren't enough, this Tag Heuer also reduces most of
the friction that is apparent in many other watches.  This
is made possible with the 39 micro ball races that help
minimize friction in the power transmission system.  This
helps replace and upgrade the traditional use of synthetic
red rubies.

The list of firsts for the Monaco V4 Concept watch could go
on forever.  This Tag Heuer watch has truly revolutionized
the mechanical movement watch world forever.
