Tag Heuer V4 Watch

"To trace the history of modern watchmaking, one must go back four
centuries, to Huygen's invention of the spiral in 1675. The next key
advancement was in 1753, when Beaumarchais created the first watch
with escapement. In 1770, Perrelet designed the first automatic
movement. Fifteen years later, Breguet invented the tourbillon, and in
1822, the first chronograph. TAG Heuer made its first major
contribution to Swiss watchmaking in 1897 with the oscillating pinion,
still an essential component in today's traditional mechanical
chronographs."

"With the Monaco V4 Concept Watch, TAG Heuer designers have once again
broken with tradition in several key areas.."
