The Grand Prix de l’Horlogerie de Genève is the most prestigious award won by this timepiece epitomizing the spirit of Grand Carrera and TAG Heuer motor racing heritage. It also was crowned in China by The Most Successful Design Award 2008 and in Mexico during the Salon Internacional de Alta Relojeria 2008. Jean-Christophe Babin, President and CEO said: “It is the fifth time TAG Heuer is awarded the Grand Prix de l'Horlogerie... but every time is the first time! This is a great achievement for the people at TAG Heuer.”



The Grand Carrera was launched to great acclaim and commercial success in June 2007, drawing its inspiration from modern GT cars. It is powered by the first mechanical line of movements with Rotating System, an exclusive new function that enables the user to read easily and intuitively small seconds, a second time zone (GMT) or chronograph time by displaying the elapsed time.



The Grand Carrera Calibre 36 RS Caliper Chronograph
Powered by a column wheel movement, the Grand Carrera Calibre 36 RS Caliper Chronograph is the only automatic chronograph capable of measuring and displaying 1/10ths of a second! Visible through a tinted double sapphire crystal, the COSC-certified movement oscillates at 36,000 vibrations per hour. This enables the central seconds hand to tick off 1/10th second intervals, giving at-a-glance readings of an unparalleled exactitude.
