THE CROWN - now this is a man's watch - I don't have long finger nails and my hands are quite large. Straight out of the box I loved it, it looked great on, it felt weighty and solid - you know how you just can't help checking the time every 10 seconds just to see the face of the thing.Īfter a few days the novelty wore off and I started looking at the watch from a daily use point of view:ġ. Hey, look - Brad Pitt's got one on his wrist! (laugh) Now, I am not in any way naive - this is not a Rolex or a Patek Phillipe, it's a Tag - more avantgarde design than a real precision timepiece, but I thought it's a reasonably expensive Swiss made automatic watch from a renowned company. I remember the salesman talking at great length about the amazing accuracy of the Calibre 16 movement and the luminous dial.

With a budget in mind I looked at quite a few different watches and in the end paid a bit more than I initially wanted to for a lovely black dial Tag Heuer Carrera automatic chrono. That is why, about a year ago I wanted to treat myself to a new watch, one that I will enjoy to wear for many years to come, a piece of "technical jewellery" that will become an everyday item, without which I wouldn't leave the house.


I enjoy the beauty of simple, functional, beautifully designed things made to last. I thought I would share my honest experience about this watch, since I cannot find any contacts at the mighty LMVH website that might lead to someone at the TAG design department take a notice.Īs a short intro - I am an architect by profession, someone that is dealing with art, design, engineering and manufacturing on a daily basis.
