i may not be much of a watch fanatics to know the mechanics behind them but this watch from TAG Heuer definitely had me drooling all over. what TAG did for this one-of-the-kind edition time piece was to infuse their ultra accurate (1/100th of a second, to be exact) Mikrograph movement into the iconic Monaco watch. so what we have here is a gorgeous watch blessed with a superb mechanical movement. best of both world. i heard you say? certainly it is.
