TAG Heuer set itself a mission this year at Baselworld: to put the bum note of the 2009 launch of its Calibre 1887 behind them. After initially presenting it as being entirely designed in-house, the brand ended up sheepishly having to admit to having bought plans from Seiko. There’s nothing like that this time around with the presentation of the new CH 80 movement. Made on the Chenevez site with an 80-hour power reserve – hence its name – this in-house calibre is having its first outing in the 41mm Carrera model. This quintessentially sporty, black and white watch in tribute to the first Carrera “Panda” chronograph promises interesting future versions. TAG Heuer has spent 40 million Swiss Francs to secure its industrial vertical integration so far. Price: 5,200 CHF
