At heart, the concept of the case is a two-piece design that has a upper stopwatch-style element seated in an architected base section. The Jack Heuer model uses steel and titanium for the case. The CMC uses a fancy “carbon matrix composite” material for the case, along with the dial. In fact, the two bullhead Carrera models share designs save for colors and materials. The Carrera Caliber 1887 Jack Heuer watch shares a case with the also new for 2013 Carrera CMC Concept watch. Though since the Mikrogirder, TAG Heuer has refined the case. These concepts have been around for a while, but this particular case design is a newer part of the TAG Heuer parts bin that debuted with the Mikrogirder watch from 2012 (hands-on with video). Bullhead layouts place the crown and chronograph pushers at the top of the case, while angled watches elevate the dial and orient them to your face a bit to make legibility a bit easier without having to twist your wrist. It is a “bullhead” style case with an angled dial. If you aren’t familiar with the concept, it looks quite strange. The first thing you’ll notice about the Carrera Calibre 1887 Jack Heuer is the design of the case. Though his birthday model celebrates history while the Calibre 1887 model celebrates where TAG Heuer is today. Named for the year that Heuer invented the oscillating pinion to be used in stopwatches, the 1887 is the fourth in-house movement from TAG Heuer - Calibre 360, Calibre S, and Calibre V came earlier. The two Jack Heuer watches are thematically similar, and both equally attractive. The attractive retro looking watch was a pretty big sales success, and enough of a hit to merit a follow-up piece a year later. Last year, on the occasion of Jack’s 80th birthday, TAG Heuer released a limited edition Carrera Jack Heuer 80 watch (hands-on with Heuer interview) as a set of 3000 pieces. Now retired, Jack Heuer still serves an honorary role at TAG Heuer, and was with the brand at the time when the Carrera model was first released. The story of course begins with Jack Heuer, famed former CEO of TAG Heuer and legacy to the family. For now we’d like to focus on a hands-on look at the Carrera Calibre 1887 Jack Heuer and what makes it unique. There you’ll be able to learn more about the watch and why TAG Heuer produced it.

TAG decided to collaborate with German car maker, Porsche. After TAG Heuer launched the 1887 Calibre, it made the decision to refine the Carrera into 4 distinct series to better showcase the new movement. For men, the addition of a tachymeter and various complications adds to the virtuosity of the collection. For women, the automatic variants are also equipped with mother-of-pearl dials and diamonds. Apart from the chronograph functions, the Carrera collection also features an automatic variant with a clean complacent dial. The collection provides superior water-resistance capabilities with chronograph functions. The anti-scratch curved sapphire crystal and double anti-reflective treatment allow the wearer to use the watch with more freedom without fear of scratches or lack of visibility. Returning in two vibrant iterations - one in signature blue, the other in black and silver - the new TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph delivers unmatched precision thanks to its next-generation Calibre TH20-00 movement. Fabric, titanium and leather are also available as strap options. The Carrera's stainless steel strap adds to the powerful look that embodies this series. The design also comes with a TAG Heuer logo at the crown with a Carrera marking on the dial. The sleek and sporty finish checks off large and easy-to-read hour markers while greatly accentuating the luminous hands. The Carrera is one of Tag Heuer's shining trademark ranges of Chronographs. This collection soon went on to become one of TAG Heuer's first ever ranges of automatic chronographs and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2013 has brought out new models every decade since it was introduced to the world. TAG Heuer Carrera Collection was first launched in 1963 and had a very simplistic design containing just the registers and applied markers on the dial.
