TAG Heuer CARRERA CALIBRE-1887 JACK HEUER EDITION
TAG Heuer has a long-standing relationship with automotive racing.

The Carrera Calibre 1887 Chronograph was designed with modern production techniques in mind, yet borrows details from Heuer’s rich history of sports chronographs. Jack Heuer himself contributed on many aspects of its conception.

The TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 1887 Chronograph

Unlike a typical chronograph, the movement of the Carrera Calibre 1887 is turned on its side to become a Bullhead chronograph, with the chrono-pushers sitting at the top of the case. The position of the pushers and asymmetrical case shape allows the watch to sit higher on the wrist, making it easier to access its timing functions.

“We’ve always been suckers for the quirky configuration of bullhead chronographs (having acquired this fine example from Breitling recently). There’s something both masculine and sensual about its form factor.”
