At regular intervals,
Tag Heuer reissues its most famous chronograph:the Monaco,
a timeless cheap fake watches,
elevated to the rank of icon–without a doubt one of the most elegant timepieces in the world,
one that gives those who they wear a racy and resolutely original look.
Launched at the end of the 1960s simultaneously in New York and Geneva,
this jewel of technology and design had to wait several decades before experiencing the success it deserved,
and this,
despite a resounding entry into the legend on the wrist of the American actor Steve McQueen.
How the Tag Heuer Monaco became legendary
It is an understatement to say that the first edition of the Tag Heuer Monaco cheap fake watches,
launched on March 3,1969,
did not meet with the success expected by the brand.
Blame it on a daring aesthetic,
which undoubtedly upsets chronograph enthusiasts too directly:it is,
in fact,
square in shape(large in size,
moreover:40 mm on a side),
far from the softness of rounded cases or the subtle rectangular charm of a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso.
Only a few curious people,
constituting a niche clientele,
are tempted by these series with a water-resistant dial with a plain blue background,
a bright red seconds hand,
and white areas,
also square but with rounded edges,
for the counters.
And since revolutions never come alone,
it is also the first automatic chronograph.
Although the arrival of the Monaco did not provoke the expected tsunami among the public,
it nevertheless marked a major date in the history of watchmaking.
It will take the boost of a film and a popular comedian to help Monaco find its way.
This film will be Le Mans,
released in theaters in 1971.
For the sake of maximum authenticity,
Steve McQueen,
who plays racing driver Joseph Siffert in front of Lee H.
Katzin’s camera,
insists on donning the full suit of the hero of 24 hours of Le Mans,
to the Monaco of Heuer of which he was the ambassador(a first in the world of racing),
and through the brand’s red crest sewn on the chest.
To do this,
McQueen forsakes,
for the time of a shoot,
the Rolex Submariner which accompanies him everywhere.
Proudly worn by McQueen,
the Tag Heuer Monaco,
whose provocative dial reinforces the actor’s determined allure,
is transformed into a cult chronograph,
benefiting from the actor’s rebellious and prestigious aura.
Subsequently,
and as a matter of course,
the technology developed by tag heuer replica enabled the brand to become the official timekeeper of several automobile competitions.
Yet cheap fake watches enthusiasts struggle to keep up.
The timepiece has acquired a worldwide reputation,
and its name–chosen in reference to the princely rock to appeal to a high-end audience,
in the wake of the brand’s previous model,
baptized Monte-Carlo–gives it a very special aura.
But it still does not attract the crowds,
who may be too cautious when wearing this original jewel themselves.
The Monaco then gradually disappeared from radar screens for almost three decades,
until the Swiss brand reissued its model in 1998,
in a limited edition of 5,000 copies,
with a plain black background.
The world,
no doubt,is now ripe for major aesthetic changes–as the new formula Tag Heuer Monaco becomes a best seller.
From then on,
while remaining faithful to its original model,
the Monaco underwent many improvements.
It is available in smaller versions,
thinner(up to 37 mm per side),
rounder(at the edges),
is adorned with a new sapphire crystal dial(exit the hesalite of yesteryear),
and even changed the mechanism(successors to the historic caliber 11 made their appearance).
Since the end of the 1990s,
the Monaco has again become the heart of the commercial strategy of the watchmaker Tag Heuer,
which maintains its eternal power of seduction–with motor racing enthusiasts,
but not only.
Almost fifty years later,
the square case still surprises,
but not for the same reasons:it seduces more than it disconcerts.
The representatives of the brand recognized it themselves:this design was madness,
but it perfectly suited the ambition of the Swiss watchmaker,
eager to walk off the beaten track,
even if it meant taking all the risks.
Because it is by moving away from the marked path that you increase your chances of discovering wonders!
Caliber 11:a revolutionary mechanism
While it is fair to say that the launch of the Tag Heuer Monaco shook up the aesthetic codes of the world of watchmaking,
to the point of disconcerting the public with its provocative design,
it is just as true to remember that the major revolution by this chronograph resided in its mechanism.
The Monaco was,
in fact,
one of the first three cheap fake watches to be equipped with an automatic microrotor movement,
the“chronomatic caliber 11”,
developed jointly by Heuer,
Breitling and Hamilton.
A mechanism so precise that it still equips the chronometric instruments used by professionals.
On the original model,
the pushers and the winding crown are together on the right side of the case.
This design was modified at the end of the 20th century during the reissue of the Monaco,
with a crown moved to the left side;but the original aesthetic regained its rights for the following models,
as if to echo the only one,
the real Tag Heuer Monaco:that of 1969.
