Tag Heuer MIKROGIRDER At Maddaloni

The second annual TimeCrafters show was impressive this weekend. The Park Avenue Armory was filled with 21 leading Swiss timepiece manufactures. The watch fair displayed retrospectives on many of the historical brands, introductions of new pieces and watchmakers explaining functionalities. The big news of the show was the new Tag Heuer MIKROGIRDER. Simpler, faster and more efficient than science dreamed possible, impervious to gravity and dramatically reducing isochronous error, potentially easier to manufacture and able to precisely measure time to a phenomenal 1/2,000th of a second today, and probably even more precisely tomorrow…TAG Heuer challenges three centuries of hairspring/balance wheel mechanical regulation conventions to create a totally new mechanical regulator. The legendary Swiss brand is now unveiling a first Concept version, a 2,000th of a second chronograph beating at 1,000 Hz or 7,200,000 beats per hour!
