Taken from TAGHeuer.com. The calibre 360 concept also comes as a Monaco. So cool !
At BASELWORLD 2006, TAG Heuer introduces the next evolutionary phase of its 1/100th of a second chronograph technology: the Monaco Calibre 360 LS (Linear Second) Concept Chronograph, a daring new timepiece with an all-new architecture proudly exposing the unparalleled Calibre 360 LS precision technology within.
Inspired by the Avant-Garde Monaco V4 design, the dial-less Monaco Calibre 360 LS uses meticulously hand-finished engine bridges to reveal the functions:
- Oversized 1/100th of a second chronograph counter exterior to the chronograph engine at 6 o’clock
- 15-minute chronograph counter embedded in the chronograph engine at 9 o’clock
- 100-minute power reserve indicator, also embedded, at 12 o’clock
- a linear second indicator, also embedded, at 3 o’clock
The bridges’ 7 distinct gold metal coated finishings not only improve the chronograph’s readability, but also create an undeniably Avant-Garde and prestigious façade. Square-faced and in classic Monaco spirit, the Monaco Calibre 360 LS is true to the original yet resolutely contemporary, with a highly-faceted polished steel case, curved sapphire crystal glass with case-integrated facets, and embedded indications within the chronograph engine. The 2 square sapphire crystal windows on the case back provide a very different perspective on the Calibre 360 LS movement, beautifully decorated with Côte de Genève pattern. The detailing is also unique: protective sleeves for chronograph push buttons and fully integrated rubber strap with solid folding buckle and safety push buttons.
