Introduced at Baselworld, the vintage inspired Heuer Carrera pays homage to the brand's founder Jack Heuer. At 80 years old, Jack Heuer no longer works at TAG Heuer, but he did actually help design this watch, as he did with the original Heuer Carreras half a decade ago. At 41 mm, the new Carrera is approximately 5 mm wider in diameter and a bit thicker. But for the most part, the design is true to the original.

This is the new TAG Heuer Mikrogirder 10000, one of the most technically innovative mechanical chronographs ever made. Not to mention the most precise.

Sans the traditional balance spring and balance wheel assembly, TAG Heuer watchmakers have engineered a movement that runs at an insane 7.2 million vph, or 1,000 Hz. The result, is a timepiece that is accurate to 5/10,000th of a second.

Once activated, the chronograph hand is so fast, you can barely even see it with the naked eye. It is absolutely amazing to watch. Furthermore, if you listen closely, you can hear it hum ever so smoothly, as it sweeps the dial 20 times per second.

TAG Heuer's Mikrotimer concept watch is the only watch in the world capable of tracking 1/1000th of a second. It does so with a revolutionary caliber that operates at 500 Hz, or 3.6 million beats per second.

I recently came across a great looking Heuer chronograph, specifically a 1950s "Pre-Carrera" Heuer Chronograph. Unlike the original 1964 Carrera model, which is powered by a Valjoux 72, or the 1964 re-edition that came out in the late 1990s, which is powered by a Lemania, this watch (pictured) is powered by the manually wound Valjoux 71 movement.
