Personal Reviews On Tag Heuer Monaco V4 Limited Ed

fashion695

Tag Heuer built 150 of the Tag Heuer Monaco V4 watches as a limited edition to celebrate Heuer's 150th anniversary. It is based on the shape of the Monaco watch, but other than that really is worlds apart from the iconic timepiece. Monaco V4 No. 1 will be TAG Heuer's contribution to the 2009 Only Watch auction in Monaco,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the full proceeds of which are to aid research efforts for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
Well,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I am an appearance person. I have to admit that I was really surprised and amazed by the distinctive looking and the contemporary style of Monaco V4 limited Edition. I could not even believe that Tag Heuer had created it. It seems that a watch of such beauty should only exist in dreams! But now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it becomes reality. The open-worked dial that shows off part of the exceptional movement gives the first visual attack. And I believe few Tag Heuer watches lovers can resist such perfect mixture of aesthetic design and mechanical beauty. By the way, the dial displays just hours and minutes and has a power reserve indicator.And to my knowledge, V4 limited edition is the only Tag Heuer watch made of platinum.
To true watch lovers, the secret beneath its charming appearance is much more enchanting! Well, the Monaco V4 is the first watch fitted with a belt-driven movement with 52-hours power reserve and the accuracy at plus or minus 4 seconds a day. The power is stored in in four barrels visible in the rear,and that it is why it is called V4. And another unique feature of V4 is that it has automatic winding system. Instead of having a rotor that oscillates, it has a weight that moves in a linear fashion up and down-just like a piston almost. That movement acts to move gears that wind the mainspring. Besides,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the movement adopts mini ball bearings rather than synthetic rubies to have lowest friction between gears and palettes.
The first of 150 pieces of this new Tag Heuer Monaco V4 watch will be auctioned off at the Only Watch 2009. Prices for the other 149 watches is likely to be around $40000 each. I've been wondering whether or not V4 will steal the show from the Tag 24 Concept Chronograph when they are exhibited at the same place. You know, it is one of the "hottest" timepieces this year.
