Watcheden Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 Tag Heuer Monaco is an iconic creation, favored by many watch lovers and collectors. It’s really funny and excited that Tag Heuer will come with a distinctive and creative Monaco!! A few months ago, Tag Heuer started a project with the New York City Campus, called “The Art of Watchmaking”. The purpose is to have design students re-imagine the iconic Tag Heuer Monaco. No matter what the final result will become, it to some extent helps Tag Heuer in its future design directions. The students participated in this project were divided into groups which compete against one another. With cooperation, wisdom and effort, three groups of students won with their final works showed as below. 1. 2. 3. I really appreciate the intelligence and imagination of the designers; however, the charm of these watches only refers to design but not movement. Tag Heuer will reserve the right to actually produce these watches. If they really like the design, they will of course put them into creation. That’s to say, any of the three watches is possible to become a masterpiece in future. Then, which one do you like best?
Jimster Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 I like #2. Will we ever see a vintage Steve McQueen Monaco? Jim
mastrmindalliance Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 I really like some elements of 1 and 2, 3 isn't really doing for me. Like the clasp on #2 and the dial (sans the silly lid) of #1. But in entirety... i don't like any of them.
simonporsche Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 #2 for me, it's the only one which seems to have a racing car dash board look in it's design ( loving the sub dials). Tag probably gave them certain dimensions and criteria so as to be able to fit an existing movement in.
FxrAndy Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 Non really but if i had to have one then 3

ExtraExtra Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 The design elements of #1 and #2 remind me so much of Oakley's watch. What accessories were the designers wearing on them? The third one mixes old and new styling but nothing new.
boneventura Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 There is only one Monaco and it's blue.Althought I love the vintage Gulf dials too. Quit downgrading the legend Tag!

nikki6 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 I'm quite liking the sound of 1, I like the slide lid idea. The markers that connect when it closes is a nice touch! I have to agree with Extra above though, there is a whole lot of Oakley going on in there from what I can tell. From a guy who owns quite a few of them! Would love a Gulf, just one good rep!! They do so amazingly well with all the other Tags, I think they are the best build quality and finish, out of the box, of any other reps I own. With a few mods they are incredile, so why do they make such a pigs ear of the Monaco, it's hardly the most complex design in the the world!! Sixx
