MasterHorologer

TAG Heuer , the leader in prestigious sports watches and chronographs since 1860, is one of the largest and fastest growing luxury Swiss watch brands. The Swiss watchmaking legend draws upon its active engagement in the world of sports to create the most accurate measuring instruments and sports watches in the world. TAG Heuer is the first watchmaker ever to master luxurious chronographs with an unsurpassed precision of 1/10th, 1/100th and 1/1,000th of a second.

From the Olympic Games in the 1920s to its role as official timekeeper to within 1/10,000th of a second for the legendary Indy 500, TAG Heuer, in a constant quest for innovation, excellence, performance and prestige, continues to aim ever higher, as reflected by its partnership with its partnership with some of the prestigious Formula 1 teams and their drivers.

TAG Heuer is a privileged member of the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie (FHH) , the most exclusive club in the Swiss watchmaking industry.

History of TAG Heuer Watch brand

In 1860 , at the age of 20, Edouard Heuer founded a watchmaking workshop in Saint-Imier, in the remote Jura Mountains of Switzerland. It was the start of TAG Heuer’s extraordinary story, which transformed the company originally named Heuer , after its founder, over 125 years into the company we know today.

At this period in time, all watches were wound with a key. In 1869, two years after he moved his workshop to Bienne, Edouard Heuer changed the course of watchmaking history forever with his first patented invention: a keyless, crown-operated winding system .

A huge success at the 1873 Universal Exhibition in Vienna, this new generation of timepieces soon became the most coveted in the world. When powerful American watch manufacturers moved aggressively into the European market, Edouard Heuer responded by pushing through innovations in every area of design, engineering, and manufacturing, thus helping to make Switzerland the world leader in the watchmaking industry.

As sporting competitions rapidly expanded—on water, grass, cinder running tracks, and roads—measuring time accurately became increasingly important. Edouard Heuer acted upon this and, in 1882, he became one of the first to produce pocket chronographs in large quantities. In 1887, he patented one of the most important innovations in watchmaking: the famous Oscillating Pinion still used to this day by leading manufacturers in the production of mechanical chronographs.

The revolutionary device has allowed the chronograph to function very neatly by replacing the two large wheels of the anterior movements. With this breakthrough invention, TAG Heuer became the reference standard in chronographs and timing instruments for high-level sports. In 1889, at the Universal Exhibition in Paris, the company was awarded a silver medal for its pocket chronograph collection. When Edouard Heuer died in 1892, his creative vision and passion for innovation had laid the foundation for a watchmaking dynasty.

After Edouard Heuer’s death, the company ownership passed to his two sons, Jules-Edouard and Charles-Auguste Heuer . Their daring and intuition brought TAG Heuer to the forefront of high-quality sports timing and chronographs. The two brothers were convinced that the company’s future would unfold outside Switzerland. They forged strong ties with local importers in other countries, such as Henry Freund in the United States.

By this time, they had also seen an opportunity in sports, where there was an even greater demand for precision in timekeeping. The Time of Trip, patented in 1911, was the first 12-hour dashboard chronograph for cars and aircraft. It indicated the time and the duration of the journey. This innovation was a great success with aviation clubs. In 1919, the Zeppelin R34 , with a Time of Trip on board, made the first flight over the North Atlantic. In 1929, Hugo Eckener equipped his Graf Zeppelin with this instrument before completing the first round-the-world trip in an airship.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the timekeeping world was confronted with the challenge of increasing precision. Consequently, Charles-Auguste set a goal for his employees: “Make a stopwatch capable of a timekeeping precision five to ten times greater than anything that exists today.”

Thus, in 1916, the Mikrograph and Microsplit , and Semikrograph and Semicrosplit , were born. These were the world’s first mechanical stopwatches that were accurate to 1/100th of a second and 1/50th of a second, respectively. At that time, other timing instruments could only measure to the nearest 1/5th of a second. This new development revolutionized science, industry, and watchmaking, and made TAG Heuer the natural choice as an official supplier of chronographs for the Olympic Games in Antwerp (1920), Paris (1924), and Amsterdam (1928).

Thousands of Mikrographs were produced over the next six decades, until their discontinuation in 1969, thus providing TAG Heuer with a unique expertise in manufacturing movements that beat at 360,000 times an hour. The first alpine slalom and downhill ski races were timed by TAG Heuer, starting in 1928. Then, in the 1930s, the company proved itself, serving as the timekeeper of the speed-skiing race in St. Moritz and the Bobsleigh World Championship in Caux.

In 1931, Professor Auguste Piccard , a specialist of cosmic radiation, led the first stratospheric flight. To commemorate the world-record altitude of 15,781 meters in a balloon, the city of Bienne gave Professor Piccard a gold TAG Heuer chronograph. In 1947, TAG Heuer presented him with another chronograph featuring hands with no radium, so it would not interfere with the cosmic-ray measurements.

In 1933, the company launched the Autavia (a combination of “AUTomobile” and “AVIAtion” ), the first onboard stopwatch for cars and aircraft. This instrument was often mounted with a Hervue watch on a chrome base and affixed to a dashboard.

TAG Heuer’s cutting-edge chronographs soon appeared on the wrists of famous people around the world, including Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Henry Ford, Prince William of Sweden , and King Bhumibol of Thailand. From the racetrack to the water, TAG Heuer continued to innovate. Since regatta timekeeping on Lake Geneva in the 1920s, sailing has inspired the company to use new materials and create new functions, as in 1950, when TAG Heuer unveiled its patented Mareograph , a unique sailing chronograph derived from the earlier Solunar watch , which let fishermen know when fish were feeding. Called the Seafarer in the United States , the new chronograph was the first with a tide indicator and a five-minute countdown function for sailing competitions.

In 1955, TAG Heuer unveiled the Twin-Time , a GMT model that displayed two time zones simultaneously. In 1958, the company presented its famous onboard timer, the Rally-Master , consisting of a Master-Time (eight-day clock) and a Monte- Carlo (12-hour stopwatch). The following year, Hubert Heuer and his nephew, Jack Heuer (son of Charles-Edouard) , set up Heuer Time Corporation , a new American subsidiary based in New York. On February 20, 1962, American astronaut John Glenn wore a TAG Heuer stopwatch when he piloted the Friendship 7 spacecraft on Mercury-Atlas 6, the first manned U.S. orbital mission, making TAG Heuer the first Swiss watchmaker in space.

In 1963, Jack Heuer turned his creative focus to the world of cinema, designing the Film-Master, which measured film sequences in 16 mm and 35 mm. This made the brand a Hollywood and Bollywood favorite, with TAG Heuer timepieces worn in many movies and by today’s stars. The following year, Jack Heuer turned to his overriding passion for motor racing with the inaugural launch of the legendary TAG Heuer Carrera.

A tribute to professional motor racing’s most grueling road race, the legendary Carrera Panamericana Mexico of the 1950s, this stunning piece of unconventional watchmaking technology was worn by numerous racing drivers. It remains one of TAG Heuer’s most popular, timeless, and iconic creations. In 1965, Jack Heuer unveiled a prototype of the Slalom Timer at the Basel Watch Fair. It was the company’s first miniaturized electronic timing instrument accurate to 1/100th of a second. The electronic revolution had begun.

One year later, Jack Heuer stunned the watchmaking world again, this time by introducing the Microtimer, the world’s first miniaturized electronic timing instrument accurate to an extraordinary 1/1,000th of a second. The most famous sports event after the World Cup and the Olympic Games is the America’s Cup. TAG Heuer was the Official Supplier of chronographs to the Intrepid team, which won the America’s Cup in 1967.

In 1969, the Swiss driver Jo Siffert signed on as a TAG Heuer brand ambassador, becoming the first racing driver sponsored by a watch manufacturer. At the beginning of the ’60s, Jack Heuer reached an agreement with two other Swiss watch manufacturers to create the world’s first automatic chronograph movement. They gave their top-secret project the confidential code name “99.”

The new Chronomatic Calibre 11 was launched in 1969. This first chronograph movement with an automatic micro-rotor mechanism powered both the TAG Heuer Carrera and Autavia , and also the legendary Monaco. This original automatic chronograph with a square, water-resistant case achieved a near-mythological status when Steve McQueen wore it in the film Le Mans (1971).

In 1971, Enzo Ferrari asked Clay Regazzoni , Swiss winner of the Italian Grand Prix, to find timing instruments for the 24 Heures du Mans race. TAG Heuer technology was ideally suited to the task, as demonstrated by the Le Mans Centigraph , which was able to measure time to 1/1,000th of a second. As Ferrari’s Official Timekeeper from 1971 to 1979 , the brand played a key role in the team’s unprecedented string of world-championship victories, and saw its name linked to Ferrari legends such as Gilles Villeneuve, Niki Lauda , and Jody Scheckter . Meanwhile, in Bienne, TAG Heuer continued to innovate.

In 1973, the Microsplit 820 was unveiled, the first pocket quartz timing instrument precise to 1/100th of a second. In 1975, TAG Heuer launched the Chronosplit , the world’s first quartz wrist chronograph with a double digital display LCD/LED . The LCD on top showed the time of the day and the LED showed the stopped time to a precision of 1/10th of a second. Enzo Ferrari personally ordered 15 of these special Ferrari models. Other famous customers, such as Paul Newman, soon joined the ranks of Chronosplit owners. Just two years later, the company presented the world’s first digital-analog chronograph, the Chronosplit Manhattan GMT , forerunner of the Kirium Formula 1 chronograph.

The launch of the 2000 series in 1982 reinforced the unparalleled sporting spirit of the brand. This contemporary sports watch became an industry benchmark due to its six features: water-resistance up to 200 meters, a unidirectional turning bezel, luminescent hands and markers, a screw-in crown with a double gasket to ensure water resistance, a double-safety clasp, and scratch-resistant, sapphire-crystal glass. In 1984, Mike Birch broke the world record for the greatest distance sailed in 24 hours in his Formule Tag, the first Kevlar®-and-carbon-fiber catamaran .

In 1985, TAG Heuer teamed up with McLaren Mercedes , forming what would become one of the longest-running and most successful partnerships in Formula One history; TAG Heuer was soon linked to some of the team’s most famous drivers, including Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna , and Mika Häkkinen. Launched in 1987, the S/el (sport and elegance) watch made its mark in the world of watchmaking, thanks to its signature feature: a double S-shaped bracelet . This famous watch reinforced TAG Heuer’s position as the industry reference for sport, elegance, and prestige. The S/el was the favorite model of the legendary Ayrton Senna, who signed on as a TAG Heuer brand ambassador in 1988.

In 1989, TAG Heuer became the Official Timekeeper for World Cup alpine skiing events in the United States and Canada. In 1991, it also added the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and in 1992, the Formula One World Championship. TAG Heuer used the most advanced technology to achieve a level of reliability comparable to that of atomic clocks. The timing of Formula One races, for example, was controlled by a GPS-satellite detection system, ensuring precision to a millionth of a second. In 1995, TAG Heuer was part of sailor Chris Dickson’s challenge in the Louis Vuitton Cup, which reached the semifinals.

In 1991, TAG Heuer launched the advertising campaign “Don’t Crack under Pressure,” depicting the intense concentration exerted by athletes and emphasizing the mental, rather than physical, side of sport, pushing barriers to reach new heights of performance and greater standards of excellence. The next campaign, “Success. It’s a mind game,” began in 1995, and was not only striking but also entirely original. The advertisements depicted the mental pressure that athletes subject themselves to in order to win.

TAG Heuer relaunched three of its classic series: TAG Heuer Carrera in 1996, Monaco in 1998, and Monza in 2001. In 1999, the company introduced the Link series , a bold reworking of the hugely successful S/el design.

In 1999, LVMH group (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton) acquired TAG Heuer.

Jack William Edouard Heuer, Honorary Chairman of TAG Heuer

Jack William Edouard Heuer was born in 1932 in Bern, Switzerland, as great-grandson of Edouard Heuer, the original founder of TAG Heuer in 1860. He holds an Electrical Engineering degree and a master in production and management from the Swiss Institute of Technology in Zurich. During his student years he was very active in sports, mainly in skiing, as a member for several years of the Swiss University ski team. His fascination with sports would allow him during his business life to follow in the steps of his father and grandfather who in the very early days of the firm already developed time pieces for sports applications.

Mr. Heuer joined the family firm as a young engineer in 1958. A year later he started the first Heuer sales subsidiary in the United States, the Heuer Time Corporation, which still exists today as LVMH W & J USA. In 1962 he became majority shareholder of Ed. Heuer & Co. SA. Two years later the company acquired its largest competitor, the Leonidas Watch Co., and subsequently the company changed its name to Heuer-Leonidas SA.

As managing director of Heuer-Leonidas he was instrumental in pushing for the development of the world’s first automatic chronograph which was launched on March 3rd, 1969. In that same year Mr. Heuer’s company became one of the first non automotive sponsors of the Formula One racing circuit as the means to promote the Heuer brand on a worldwide basis. In 1971 he started a very close and successful technical co-operation with Ferrari in Formula One, which lasted 9 years and sealed TAG Heuer’s position in the high technology auto-racing field.

Having anticipated that the technological revolution of solid state electronics would totally change the world’s watch industry, he was one of the very early entrants into electronic timekeeping and helped launch several of the world’s first electronic timing instruments, such as: • The Microtimer (1966), a low-cost portable timing instrument measuring to 1/1000th of a second • The Microsplit 800 (1972), a handheld quartz stopwatch measuring to 1/100th of a second • The Chronosplit (1975), first quartz chronograph measuring 1/100th of a second • The ACIT (1976), an Automatic Car Identification and Timing System which applied the principle of putting a radio emitter on every Formula One car, to allow for precise timing, lap counting and car identification. This System, although in the meantime modified and permanently improved is basically still the one used today in Formula One timekeeping. • The Chronosplit Manhattan (1977), an electronic wrist chronograph with analog reading of the time of day and digital readout of the stopwatch function.

In 1982 Mr. Heuer left the company as a result of a major restructuring that took place in the Swiss watch industry when Heuer-Leonidas SA was acquired by the Piaget group. Piaget resold the company in 1985 to the TAG Group (Techniques d’Avant-Garde) which renamed it TAG Heuer SA.

Mr. Heuer thereafter joined a Swiss management consulting firm where he became a partner. In addition to his consulting activity in 1983 he started to build a European marketing organisation for a Hong Kong based consumer electronics group called IDT (Integrated Display Technology Ltd). At the time this firm employed only about 200 people. Over the years he opened sales offices for the IDT Group in Germany, Switzerland, London, Paris, Milano and Madrid and was appointed Executive Director for Europe. The IDT Group which employs around 5’000 people is traded today publicly on the Hong Kong exchange.

After retiring as Executive Director for Europe in 2000, Mr. Heuer continued to be active in an advisory role and as a board member of the IDT International Group in Hong Kong until 2005. Over the past years Mr. Heuer stayed in contact with the management team of TAG Heuer and has been instrumental in the preparation of its well known history book “Mastering Time”.

In 1999 the LVMH Group acquired TAG Heuer and subsequently Mr. Heuer was appointed in 2001 Honorary Chairman of TAG Heuer with a special advisory role concerning the history and technological heritage of the company in addition to adding the benefit of his long experience in the watch industry.

TAG Heuer Unveils the Cayman Limited Edition Once again, TAG Heuer and Kirk Freeport team up to support the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation, after a first collaboration in 2014. George Town, Cayman Islands, May 8, 2017 – Swiss Avant Garde watchmaker TAG Heuer and top retailer Kirk Freeport hosted an exclusive dinner on Friday, May 5, at Rum Point, Grand Cayman, to reveal their latest collaboration. 80 lucky guests discovered the second model of the TAG Heuer Cayman Limited edition to benefit to the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation (GHOF). The GHOF aims is to help ensure that future generations will enjoy and benefit from a naturally balanced ocean ecosystem.

In the presence of Christian Weissbach, President of LVMH Watch & Jewelry Caribbean and Latin America, the Kirkonnell Family of Kirk Freeport and Guy Harvey, renowned marine wildlife artist, scientist and conservationist, the evening began with a catamaran cocktail sail to reach Rum Point, where dinner under the stars was followed by a presentation.

The TAG Heuer Cayman edition introduces two special watches water-resistant to 200 meters; portions of sales will go to support the GHOF, following on from the $85,486 donated from the first model of these limited edition timepieces: - Formula 1 Men : Featuring a Hammerhead shark drawn by Guy Harvey on its blue sunray dial enhanced by a sporty matt blue aluminum bezel.

That Kirk Freeport is bang in between the two small terminals where the cruise tenders dock on the Grand Cayman strip. From memory there is a huge Guy Harvey billboard either just behind or on the roof? On a good (bad?) day you can have around seven cruise ships anchored in the bay and the main strip is literally heaving with Hawaiian-shirted tourists, loaded up on cocktails and desperate to blow some duty free cash. Pile 'em high and sell 'em cheap. The boutique will have armfuls of these mass produced babies and they will fly. I would imagine they'd sell at least five of these for every potential Aquaracer sale.

This will fit better with aquaracer that would look sick with a shark/dolphine inside. Just my opinion.

If that white version was just a bit larger it’d make an elegant men’s option, IMHO. And they should be Aquaracers.

Watches In The Wild The Road Through America, Episode 1: A Model Of Mass Production

If you don't follow the extremely expensive and arcane world of competitive yachting, you probably haven't heard of the America's Cup, which is the world's oldest international sporting trophy, having first been run all the way back in 1851. Coincidentally, this is just a few years after Louis Brandt founded La Generale Watch Co. which would go on to produce the first Omega watches, which were so successful that the Omega line eventually became its own brand in 1903. Believe it or not, Switzerland, which is about as landlocked a country as you can get, has nonetheless a very strong sailing tradition thanks to its enormous glacial lakes – in the summer months, Lake Geneva and Lake Neuchâtel are swarming with sailboats – and also has its own yachting team. Alinghi is a newcomer, especially compared to the longevity of the America's Cup. The team, founded in 1994, represents the Swiss yacht club Société Nautique de Genève, and surprised a very strong field of competitors in 2003 when it succeeded in defeating New Zealand and taking home the Cup. 

catamaran tag heuer

The team is the brainchild of Swiss entrepreneur Ernesto Bertarelli, and while it ultimately did not retain the Cup, which it gave up to the Golden Gate Yacht Club in 2010 after a successful defense in 2007, it has continued to participate very competitively in other international racing events, sailing the extremely fast and often very dangerous catamaran-hull hydrofoil racing yachts, which are capable going faster than the actual wind speed, and which can hit top speeds of 50 knots. The basic physics are straightforward – catamarans in general and hydrofoils in particular have far less wetted surface than monohull yachts as well as less mass, and with such dramatic reductions in weight and drag, they go like rockets. They are the F1 cars of yachting and, while measures have been taken in recent years to make them less hazardous to sail, they remain, like F1 cars, inherently dangerous, very high-tech, and extremely expensive.

catamaran tag heuer

As you might expect from a Swiss yacht club's international racing team, Alinghi has partnered with watch brands from the very beginning, starting with Audemars Piguet in 2003, and the Royal Oak Offshore Alinghis were large, regatta-timer chronographs which came in a wide variety of cases and designs, including the AP RO Team Alinghi Forged Carbon, which I believe was the first forged-carbon cased watch from anyone. Currently, Alinghi partners with Omega (the collaboration was announced in May of 2019), and the two have just announced a new watch – a new version of the Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon, which features design cues intended to reflect the high-tech world of modern competitive yachting, and which also has a little surprise under the hood.

catamaran tag heuer

Cosmetically, this is pretty much squarely in the mainstream of Dark Side Of The Moon design, with the signature ceramic bezel and 44.5mm case, along with a tachymeter scale calibrated in miles per hour. Although the watch is not specifically a countdown regatta timer, the minutes totalizer has been customized with a highlighted five-minute arc. Yachting enthusiasts, as well as regatta timer fans, will know that this is because the countdown before a race actually begins is critical; as the wind is blowing and the yachts are constantly in motion, it is impossible for them to wait in a stationary fashion at a starting line. Instead, a starting line is marked by an imaginary line drawn between two buoys, and the committee boat, which regulates the start, makes a signal (traditionally by firing a gun) which marks the beginning of a countdown to the actual start. Once the countdown is concluded, another signal is fired and at that moment the boats are free to cross the line. As whomever crosses first is often apt to win outright, barring accident or mishandling, the five minutes before the start are the scene of frantic maneuvering and frequent close calls. 

catamaran tag heuer

As I am neither a mariner nor a plutocrat, I have attended few regattas, and when I have done, it's because I was covering the race, but I find them very exciting and the boats extremely beautiful (sometimes too exciting – I happened to be a rail monkey a few years back on a gorgeous 1938 Sparkman & Stephens yawl, when another boat came close enough to our stern that you almost might have leapt from one deck to the other. Not wishing to seem chicken, I didn't say anything about it until afterwards, when I asked one of the crew if that wasn't a little close and he said, with feeling, "Yeah ... that was a little close.") 

catamaran tag heuer

Certainly, the cool dark glossiness of the Dark Side Of The Moon is a good match for the construction and engineering that goes into a racing hydrofoil. One of the more interesting features of the watch from a mechanical standpoint is revealed when you take a look at the movement through the caseback.

catamaran tag heuer

The movement is not, as is often the case with the DSOTM, the automatic co-axial caliber 9300, but rather, a version of the classic Moonwatch caliber 1861 (in this case carrying the number 1865). The movement as well as the dial of the watch have been laser-etched with patterns that reflect the carbon fiber construction of Alinghi's racing hydrofoils. Now, this is not the first time that an 1861 variant has gone into a DSOTM, but in general, the high tech case and bezel (the Dark Side Of The Moon was the first ceramic Moonwatch) have been matched with an equally technically forward-looking movement. The only other DSOTM I've been able to dig up that didn't use the 9300 is the Apollo 8 Dark Side Of The Moon, from 2018 , which has an openworked version of the movement that's been given the rugged texture (on non-working surfaces, I hasten to add) of the lunar surface. You will probably have noticed by now that the hours sub-register has been replaced by the Alinghi logo, and there's a little Easter egg here as well – the logo is actually printed onto a disk, which rotates whenever the chronograph is in operation.

The use of a thinner movement also means that this is much flatter than usual for the Dark Side Of The Moon Watches, which typically come in at 44.25mm x 16.14mm. The DSOTM Alinghi is 13.80mm thick, which represents a significant height reduction (2.34mm) and should make for a much-altered wrist experience over the standard Dark Side Of The Moon watches.

That said, I think this is an interesting move. I also think this might be a watch that at first glance seems intended to appeal to a fairly small audience – yachting fans, obviously; folks interested in regatta timers, Swiss patriots who would be enthused about seeing Alinghi and Omega collaborating. However, if you like the Dark Side Of The Moon aesthetic but have found the case dimensions challenging, this might actually be a watch worth considering – as I've mentioned, an 1861-derived movement is a rarity in this design and it's both an interesting alternative from a design perspective, as well as something potentially of interest to Omega collectors looking for something a bit out of the ordinary run for the collection. (It is, notably, not a limited edition.) A yachting chronograph is always a bit of a niche proposition (either a little or a lot depending on the watch and the yacht), but seeing the 1865 here is a nice change of pace and offers a subtle but definite connection to the Speedmaster's origins as a timepiece for terrestrial, rather than celestial, pursuits.

The Omega Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon Alinghi: case, 44.25mm x 13.80mm, zirconium oxide ceramic, with ceramic bezel and Super-LumiNova tachymeter scale; box sapphire crystals front and back; water resistance, 5 bar/50 meters. Alinghi logo on start/stop pusher. Movement, Omega caliber 1865 (1861 base), hand-wound three-register chronograph with cam and lever switching system; mainplate with laser etched honeycomb design, chronograph bridge with laser etched carbon fiber design; frequency, 21,600 vph, running in 19 jewels; power reserve, 48 hours. Price, $10,800.

SPORT Timekeepers: Mark Mills

As the founder of Studio Mills Design , Mark Mills specializes in performance yacht design for racing and cruising. With every project, he’s essentially changing the way the sport approaches design. One of his latest collaborations is FlyingNikka, the first-ever full foiling sailing boat in the Mini Maxi category. It wouldn’t be too much of an exaggeration to say that FlyingNikka is the most exciting high-performance yacht out there today. As Mills puts it, ‘It’s not just a new chapter in the yacht design book. It’s a new book.’ We had the privilege of talking to Mills about FlyingNikka, the creative process behind its unique design, and the yacht’s impact on the world of sailing.

It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mark. Thank you for joining us on The Edge. First things first, could you tell us a little bit about yourself?

Sure, I’ll try to keep it short. I was born in San Francisco and moved to Ireland when I was 12. My parents got me into a sailing school because they were worried I didn’t have anything to do. I had been very interested in airplanes and I discovered that sailing boats are actually, from a design point of view, very similar to airplanes. And maybe even more interesting. So it opened up a whole new opportunity for me and I fell in love with sailing, and sailing yacht design, and was very lucky to start my own business in the late nineties and have been working successfully based in Ireland ever since.

Let’s fast forward to FlyingNikka. How did the project come about?

The full story of FlyingNikka begins with the client Roberto Lacorte ’s previous boat, SuperNikka. It was probably 2014, 2015. Roberto asked about the design of a new 62 footer for him, which became SuperNikka. It was an amazing revelation, to discover an owner like Roberto. He had the energy, the positivity, the dynamic drive to achieve something which turned that project into an amazing success, for us and for everyone involved. 

For a boat to race at the Maxi Yacht Cup five years in a row, and win four of them, is a landmark achievement. It says a lot about the boat, but it also says a lot about Roberto and his team. I think it’s a signature of Roberto’s that he is very loyal to the team that he enjoys working with. And so when he decided that it was time for a new boat, he talked to me. Even when he decided it was going to be a foiling boat, because we might not have been the obvious choice as a foiling boat design office, he showed real commitment and encouraged us to draw FlyingNikka. 

Roberto Lacorte & Mark Mills

How would you describe FlyingNikka to someone who isn’t familiar with sailing?

This is a situation where a picture speaks a thousand words. When anyone thinks of a sailboat, as I did for almost all of my career, you think about a hull in the water floating. And FlyingNikka is the first, outside the America’s Cup, of a new generation of boats which are being lifted up out of the water on hydrofoils. On wings underneath the water that provide the lift to elevate the entire boat above the water and remove all of the drag that normally comes from trying to push a hull through the water. So it opens up the opportunity to go so much faster. You’re really flying now, literally the entire boat may be flying a meter above the waves. 

« My starting point was always, ‘We can achieve something.’ You have to be confident that you can achieve something. » Mark Mills Designer

That’s amazing. What sort of challenges did you face while working on a project?

Where do we start? This was the largest group of collaborators I’ve ever assembled, or ever worked with, on a big project. The technical requirements are so high. The design of the hydrofoils on its own really is the area of an entire career. Nat Shaver, who produced the hydrofoil design, is an America’s Cup foil designer. That’s his job. The sail designer. The CFD guys running the fluid dynamics. The engineering guys running the FEA. Every part of this boat really had to be designed from scratch. We had no, or very few references, to work from to be able to develop this. 

And in a funny way, the fact that we didn’t have an unlimited budget. We had to remain very lean. We had to remain very focused. Everybody was involved in a very positive way. There were no ego conflicts. And when you get this group of very smart people all excited and happy, you get this sort of cross fertilization because the foil guy, he still has super good input on the mast design. It’s a very fertile, creative process. 

As a designer, what excites you the most about FlyingNikka?

It’s the totality of it. The fact that the entire thing, in my view, is a good looking solution. It’s a very successful solution. It is quite close to the original vision that we hammered out, as to how it should look and work. I think all of it together evokes an extremely cathartic emotion.

I’m going to change tack a bit. How familiar are you with TAG Heuer and its relationship with sailing?

I know you were a significant sponsor for the Oracle America’s Cup campaign. But the TAG Heuer part of the business went all the way back to the catamaran Formule TAG Heuer in the eighties. I think there was a 100 footer, probably in the late eighties, early nineties, that was a TAG Heuer sponsorship? So I certainly am aware that there’s a long history of it. And I’m incredibly excited to see FlyingNikka join with TAG Heuer. It’s a wonderful combination.

You’ve summed it up nicely! Is there a particular timepiece that has caught your eye?

Yes! For me, it’s the Heuer Yacht Timer. It’s large, bright and colorful. It could do with a reissue! You guys should look at producing a modern version because it’s a lovely thing. But I also like your current range. There’s a green TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 in titanium. Beautiful watch. So yes, I do look out for nice watches.

Do you see any parallels between watchmaking and yacht design?

It must be exactly the same between the watch world and the sailing world. You must have some designers who are only about aesthetics, and they fail on the practical requirements of a functioning watch. And then the alternative is you give an engineer the opportunity to build a beautiful watch, but it has no spirit, no aesthetic character. The same is true with sailing. And in a funny way, I think I benefit by having started my career at the end of a previous generation, where there was less computer involvement and it was more free flowing. It was just coming from the designer’s experience. And so for me, I think there are a few elements of the FlyingNikka design that are not just about the aerodynamics or the engineering. I tried hard to bring a little bit of identity to it beyond just its technical side.

That’s a lovely insight into your process. Finally, is there any one particular cup or event that you’re looking forward to this year?

Well, the Giraglia and the Maxi trophy are two of the biggest events of the year. But Roberto has started his own offshore race in Italy called the 151 Miglia. And so I’m sure, in his heart, that would be the biggest event of the season. Watching two of his projects come together. 

Thank you so much for talking to us, Mark. 

My pleasure.

$type=slider$au=0$cm=0$snip=0$rm=0$c=5$l=0$sp=6000, hands-on review: tag heuer carrera sport chronograph 44 mm heuer 02 automatic.

TAG Heuer Carrera Sport Chronograph 44 mm Heuer 02

In the spring of 1963, at the Basel fair, Heuer launched the Carrera chronograph that quickly became an international success and, probably, the most famous wristwatch of the brand. Taking its name from the legendary week-long "Carrera Panamericana" road race held in Mexico, the Heuer Carrera was expressly designed for drivers with ergonomics and legibility as priorities (you can read the full history of the brand here ).

57 years later, TAG Heuer maintains the same guiding lines for the development of the new Carreras, created in a number of variations modulating sportiness and elegance. In fact, the Carrera collection includes both the classic Carrera Chronograph 42 mm , with slim bezels without tachymeter scale, and the sportier Carrera Sport Chronograph 44 mm , with a larger bezel with tachymeter scale and other details that emphasise the dynamic character of the watch.

We recently had the opportunity to wear and test the latter and we are now glad to share our impressions and pictures.

TAG Heuer  recently introduced four Carrera Sport Chronograph 44 mm Heuer 02 Automatic models, three in stainless steel and one in steel and rose gold, all powered by the in-house manufactured Calibre Heuer 02 movement. For our review we had the three steel models: ref. CBN2A10 with olive green dial and steel bezel, ref. CBN2A1A with blue dial and blue ceramic bezel, and ref. CBN2A1B with black dial and black ceramic bezel.

The lines of the 44 mm x 15.27 mm steel case are highlighted by alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces. Compared to previous models, the lugs are shorter for improved comfort on the wrist. 

TAG Heuer Carrera Sport Chronograph 44 mm Heuer 02

Also thanks to this change, the watch sits perfectly on average wrists - the wrist in our pictures is 18cm / 7in - even though a diameter of 44 mm might led one to think that this is a watch for larger wrists. As usual, it is better to wear wristwatches before judging them as too small or too big for our wrist.

Crown and chronograph pushers are enriched by a black ring, a feature that has characterised several of the sportiest Carrera series in the past years.

Water resistant to 100 metres / 330 feet, the refined case houses the self-winding 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) Heuer 02 Calibre that offers a remarkable power reserve of 80 hours.

Movement and openworked oscillating weight can be appreciated through the screw-down sapphire caseback. Entirely Swiss-made in TAG Heuer's Chevenez manufacture, this advanced  movement comprises 168 components, including a column wheel and a vertical clutch.

Protected by a domed and bevelled sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective treatment, the dial of the new Carrera Sport Chronograph 44 mm is rich of refined details starting with the circular brushed finish that creates eye-catching plays of light.

TAG Heuer Carrera Sport Chronograph 44 mm Heuer 02

The chronograph hour and minute snailed counters are positioned at 9 and 3 o'clock respectively while, at 6 o'clock, we find the smaller running seconds counter and the date aperture. The result is a well balanced and symmetrical 3-6-9 layout.

The applied indexes and the hour and minute hands are treated with white Super-LumiNova for enhanced legibility in poor light conditions. Inspired to some models of the brand from the 1970s, the hour and minute hands feature groove down centre and tip filled in black.

We love the serif typeface used for the Carrera, just above the TAG Heuer logo. The only other text in the dial is “Heuer 02 80 Hours” at 6 o'clock to remark the quality of the "engine".

As written above, despite being a fairly large watch, the watch wears very well on most wrists. Merit also goes to the new integrated H-shaped steel bracelet, now thinner and more ergonomic, and its folding clasp with double safety push-buttons. 

TAG Heuer Carrera Sport Chronograph 44 mm Heuer 02

The new Carrera Sport Chronograph 44 mm Heuer 02 Automatic represents a great new offer - this model does not replace any other reference - from TAG Heuer with a very appealing look, whether you choose a ceramic or a steel bezel, and high quality technical contents. The models in stainless steel are priced at Euro 5,450 / US$ 5,750, a competitive price for a 100% manufacture column-wheel chronograph at this level of finishing. tagheuer.com

I like the caseband that seamlessly connects top and bottom lugs. As a designer, I appreciate this detail a lot.

catamaran tag heuer

Yes, it's a very nice detail. It's quite evident in the first picture of this review.

I can't decide between blue and green!

Not easy, we know. But whatever you choose, you can't go wrong! 😉

Just purchased the green one and love it! My first purchase back in 2006 was the Link and I love them both.

TAG Heuer’s comeback tour continues. After blowing away everyone last year with the stunning “Glassbox” makeover of its iconic Carrera Chronograph and reviving its cult-favorite original Formula One watch earlier this year, TAG has now turned its attention to its Aquaracer dive watch collection.

To be fair, the brand hasn’t exactly been ignoring its diver during its renaissance. The compact, solar-powered Solargraph versions of the Aquaracer have been a surprise hit since making their debut in 2022, but the automatic Aquaracer Professional 300 felt like it lagged behind the competition .

Well, no more. TAG Heuer has unveiled a refreshed version of its flagship dive watch with a new movement, a more striking dial, a smaller case and a more refined feel overall.

Subtle changes add up to a very different diver

There were many legitimate quibbles I had about the Aquaracer that were shared by other watch enthusiasts. It’s too big. The design is too boring. It doesn’t feel premium enough. It was never a bad watch, but it just wasn’t compelling compared to what else was out there for the money.

The new Aquaracer Professional 300 changes all that. First of all, the case has been shrunken down to a more wearable and crowd-pleasing size. While the outgoing model was oversized at 43mm across, 12.5mm thick and 50mm from lug to lug, the new version is much more palatable at 42mm across, 12mm thick and — here’s the biggest difference-maker — just 48mm lug-to-lug .

The design has also gotten a slight but significant revamp that leads to a more luxurious-feeling watch. The indices and hands are rhodium-plated for a bit of flash, and the hands have been slightly redesigned to be a bit sleeker.

The biggest visual changes arrive via the dial. The horizontal line pattern of the previous generation has been replaced by a new 3D lacquered wave pattern that looks spectacular. It’s somewhere between the laser-etched waves of Omega’s Seamaster Diver 300M and the more subtle ripples of the Grand Seiko Lake Suwa , and it feels both very high-end and properly fitting for a dive watch.

Other features from the previous versions — such as the twelve-sided bezel with ceramic insert, the bi-color lume, the bracelet’s micro-adjust clasp and the cyclops date window at six o’clock — have carried over to the new version.

A pair of new engines … including a GMT

The new Aquaracer has also received a heavily-upgraded movement. Gone is the ETA-based Calibre 5 and in its place is the Calibre TH31-00 manufacture movement. This automatic engine boasts an 80-hour power reserve, more than double that of its predecessor, and is a COSC-certified chronometer — which the outdoing Aquaracer was not.

Alongside the Aquaracer Professional 300 Date is the brand-new Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT. It’s essentially the same watch as the new diver and is powered by a modified version of the same movement: Calibre TH31-03, which is also a COSC-certified chronometer with 80 hours on tap but which adds a fourth hand for tracking a second time zone .

Pricing and Availability

The new TAG Heuer Professional 300 Date is priced at $3,600 on a rubber strap and $3,800 on a bracelet, while the GMT version is priced slightly higher at $4,000 on rubber and $4,200 on metal.

The diver comes in black, blue and green colorways, and the GMT is available in black-and-blue “Batman” and black-and-green “Sprite” renditions. All are available now from TAG Heuer and are non-limited.

This is everything new about the TAG Heuer Aquaracer

Tag heuer gives its aquaracer professional 300 some enhancements.

TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300 Pro 2024

TAG Heuer’s resurgence persists. After a Glassbox redesign of the Carrera Chronograph and a revival of the original Formula 1 watch , the brand has now cast its gaze toward the Aquaracer. Like a kid at the back of the class who is super smart but hasn’t been given the opportunity to live up to his full potential, the Aquaracer Professional 300 always felt like it lagged behind its peers a bit. Well, Tag Heuer has brought it up to the front of the class and given it a big makeover.

TAG Heuer 2024 Aquaracer Professional 300

How much is this tag heuer aquaracer.

While the 2022 update introduced several enhancements such as new dials, movements, and updated case and bracelet designs, the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 has once again undergone a transformation with smaller case sizes, better movements, and more aesthetically pleasing dials.

Okay, so we’ve vaguely told you what some of the updates are, but if you’re like us, you want all the nitty-gritty details. While the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Profesional 300 received some major shade in the past, with several fans claiming it was too large and just didn’t live up to other premium watches, that is a thing of the past.

  • G-Shock finally gives some attention to ‘Air’ in its Master of G series
  • These two-tone Omega Speedmaster Moonwatches go full on ’80s (and we love it)
  • All the new Audemars Piguet watches: A mini Royal Oak, a shaped watch, and more

The recent improvements are focused mainly around the dial and movement. The case size has been reduced from 43mm to 42mm, which any average person would tell you doesn’t seem like much, but if you’re a watch fan you know that can make a huge difference on your wrist. The Date version is now 12mm thick and the GMT version is 13.45mm with a lug-to-lug measurement of 48mm and despite downsizing, they still managed to include a 300m water resistance. This new version features 12-sided bezels for diving and GMT functions with lume ceramic inserts that match the dial colors.

The TAG Heuer 2024 Aquaracer Professional 300 is available in three colors: black, blue, and green, and buyers can choose between a date version or a version that includes a date as well as GMT functions. One thing that has made us watch enthusiasts at The Manual jump for joy is the change from simple straight lines on the dial to a funkier wave pattern; it may not seem like a big deal, but it certainly gives the new TAG Heuer watches a bit of “oomph.”

TAG Heuer 2024 Aquaracer Professional 300: The movement

The updated TAG Heuer Aquaracer Profesional 300 is now powered by the TH31 automatic movement which features an 80-hour power reserve and is COSC-certified. The Date models use the TH31-00 movement, while the GMT versions use the TH31-03. This is a significant improvement compared to previous models that used the Calibre 5 movement.

This TAG Heuer upgrade is a pleasant surprise and for fans of the Aquaracer, this just gives you one more reason to defend it to your friends. With its recent updates, this certainly puts it on par with its competitors from brands like Omega and Breitling, but at a much more affordable price point.

The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional Date is priced at $3,600 with a rubber strap and slightly more at $3,800 with a bracelet. The Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT Date is priced at $4,000 with a rubber strap and $4,200 with a bracelet.

Serica watches has just released the Ref. 6190 M.S.L, named after the abbreviation for Mean Sea Level, and it comes with updated dial colors and applied indices. Founded in 2019, Serica is a pretty new brand, just a toddler if you will, but they've very quickly built a strong portfolio of retro sports watches, including field, dive, and GMT models. It was started by Jérôme Burgert and Gabriel Vachette, who also started the French magazine Les Rhabilleurs. Serica 6190 Chronometer M.S.L.

As if they're throwing it back to the early days of a brand that's 100 years old, Serica watches have given its original field watch a significant update, giving it more visual appeal while not taking away from its military background. The new Serica 6190 Chronomètre M.S.L story is really about the visual revamp, as it's now available in 3 different colors: enamel black, storm grey, and polar white. This is actually the first time a white variant has been available since 2019, and it's the first time for the grey option. Aesthetics Serica watches have exceptionally distinct dials with centrally placed markers encircled by a minute track. For the newest M.S.L. edition, the markers are applied rather than painted on, and the second hand is now luminous. Each dial has an enamel-inspired coating, giving them a shiny, sleek look and adding to the old-school 1950s feel.

IWC recently revealed "Ceralume," a luminous ceramic technology (hence the name that sounds like a celebrity couple mashup) and the inaugural watch that wears it. The Ceralume IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 is the brand's first entirely luminescent ceramic watch, combining the scratch resistance of the material with a glow-in-the-dark luminous effect. Like a watch straight out of Ghostbusters, the case, dial, and strap all illuminate, adding to the otherworldly look. It's got us feeling all kinds of early-aughts nostalgia for those plastic stars that we used to stick on our roof, though this new technology won't do any damage to your wall paint. What is Super-LumiNova, and how does IWC use it?

For several years, luminescent material has played a crucial role in watchmaking, though that's putting it lightly. That's exemplified in just about every new watch introduction these days, with almost every single one featuring a "Super-LumiNova" dial. Super-LumiNova itself was created by Swiss firm RC Tritec, and according to IWC, it's an advanced ceramic material that accumulates light energy from natural and artificial sources, holds it temporarily, and then releases it as illumination. This process can be repeated over and over again without the material losing its ability to store light. IWC debuted the first watch to feature a black zirconium oxide ceramic case in 1986, followed by a brown silicon nitride and a black boron carbide, known for being exceptionally hard. Thus, ceramic cases have become a fundamental part of IWC. How was Ceralume technology created?

When one of the world's best tennis players and one of the world's best watch brands come together it's not only a perfect tango between two partners, but something akin to the Big Bang. Rafael Nadal's long relationship with Richard Mille has yielded some truly impeccable watches, including the RM 027 Tourbillon that came out in 2010.

Nadal is seriously happy with the partnership, having said, "My relationship with Richard Mille, the company, as well as Richard as a person, has undoubtedly been a pillar of my sports career since 2010. They have supported me in all circumstances, and I hope that this bond will continue for many more years." The Richard Mille 27-05 Flying Tourbillon

TAG Heuer Updates The Aquaracer Professional 300 Date & GMT with new Dials, Cases and Movements

Tag heuer's dive watch welcomes a manufacture cosc calibre and wave-inspired dials..

catamaran tag heuer

TAG Heuer is renowned for its automotive heritage and racing chronographs, but the brand also boasts a strong nautical and water-sport legacy, particularly with its Aquaracer dive watch collection . Introduced in 2004/2005 as the direct successor to the 2000 series, the Aquaracer line has become a cornerstone in TAG Heuer’s portfolio. The collection was fully revamped in 2021 with a rather convincing update: more elaborate, with sharper lines yet still very recognizable. This year, TAG Heuer once again expands and updates the collection, with several new Aquaracer Professional 300 Date and Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT versions, powered by new proprietary movements and featuring appealing new dials. 

catamaran tag heuer

The main update with these new versions of the Aquaracer Professional 300 is their movement, with a transition from off-the-shelves Sellita calibres to proprietary movements. These new engines have been conceived with AMT, a sister company of Sellita focusing on higher-grade, proprietary developments. The new Aquaracer Professional 300 Date is powered by the automatic TH31-00 (that has already been used for the Aquaracer 200 in solid gold). As for the GMT models, they are powered by the TH31-03, using the same base and adding a 24-hour time zone indication. Both movements are COSC-certified, run at a 4Hz frequency and boast a comfortable 80-hour power reserve (compared to 38-hour and 50-hour for the previous Aquaracer Professional 300 Date and Aquaracer GMT models ). They are covered with a 5-year warranty.

The design of the case follows that of the 2021 update . Yet, with these new movements, TAG Heuer has been able to rework the ergonomics of the watches and slightly reduce their size, transitioning from 43mm to 42mm. At 12mm versus 12.5mm, the date model is also slightly thinner than its predecessor fitted with the calibre 5. As the name of the watch suggests, the water resistance is still rated at 300m thanks to a screw-down crown and caseback. The collection’s diving helmet is still engraved on the back of the watch.

catamaran tag heuer

The Aquaracer Professional 300 Date models feature a traditional unidirectional diving rotating bezel, and its ceramic insert is engraved with a 60-minute scale. On the other hand, the Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT models favour the traveller’s indication with a bi-directional bezel and a 24-hour indication with two colours to represent day and night.

The dials of the new models are now textured with a wavy pattern instead of straight groves and feature an updated minute track. The applied octagonal indexes are paired with a more prominent hour hand, now adopting a shield shape. The use of luminescent material ensures optimal legibility in all conditions. The sapphire crystal comes with double anti-reflective treatment and a loupe to magnify the date. Three colourways are offered for the Aquaracer Professional 300 Date: black, blue and green, all with matching ceramic inserts. Two options are offered for the Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT: blue with a blue-black insert, and green with a green-black insert.

These new TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Date and GMT are fitted either with a stainless-steel 3-link bracelet or a rubber strap, all secured by a double-safety folding clasp. The buckle integrates a micro-adjustment system – perfect to adjust to a wetsuit, or simply to accommodate comfort changes as temperatures rise or fall – with 5 adaptable positions and an adjustment range of about one centimetre.

The new TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Date and GMT models are now available from the brand and its retailers. The prices start at CHF 3,500 for the date models (on rubber strap) and CHF 3,900 for the GMT versions (on rubber strap). For more details, please visit www.tagheuer.com .

As a TH fan, I’m afraid I have to say that the hands are awfully chubby and the dial is something I don’t like at all, even on Omega’s (market competitor). Who wants a wavy dial like that?

I didn’t believe an updated version of this watch could be more disappointing than the previous re-iteration, but here we have it! Do these knuckleheads know what flatulent design is?

I’ve read two articles.on this new Tag release and neither has pointed out the obvious – it’s extremely similar to the Seamaster 300M. The older model has a much better identity of it’s own.

Gagarin cup (khl) finals:  atlant moscow oblast vs. salavat yulaev ufa.

Much like the Elitserien Finals, we have a bit of an offense vs. defense match-up in this league Final.  While Ufa let their star top line of Alexander Radulov, Patrick Thoresen and Igor Grigorenko loose on the KHL's Western Conference, Mytischi played a more conservative style, relying on veterans such as former NHLers Jan Bulis, Oleg Petrov, and Jaroslav Obsut.  Just reaching the Finals is a testament to Atlant's disciplined style of play, as they had to knock off much more high profile teams from Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg to do so.  But while they did finish 8th in the league in points, they haven't seen the likes of Ufa, who finished 2nd. 

This series will be a challenge for the underdog, because unlike some of the other KHL teams, Ufa's top players are generally younger and in their prime.  Only Proshkin amongst regular blueliners is over 30, with the work being shared by Kirill Koltsov (28), Andrei Kuteikin (26), Miroslav Blatak (28), Maxim Kondratiev (28) and Dmitri Kalinin (30).  Oleg Tverdovsky hasn't played a lot in the playoffs to date.  Up front, while led by a fairly young top line (24-27), Ufa does have a lot of veterans in support roles:  Vyacheslav Kozlov , Viktor Kozlov , Vladimir Antipov, Sergei Zinovyev and Petr Schastlivy are all over 30.  In fact, the names of all their forwards are familiar to international and NHL fans:  Robert Nilsson , Alexander Svitov, Oleg Saprykin and Jakub Klepis round out the group, all former NHL players.

For Atlant, their veteran roster, with only one of their top six D under the age of 30 (and no top forwards under 30, either), this might be their one shot at a championship.  The team has never won either a Russian Superleague title or the Gagarin Cup, and for players like former NHLer Oleg Petrov, this is probably the last shot at the KHL's top prize.  The team got three extra days rest by winning their Conference Final in six games, and they probably needed to use it.  Atlant does have younger regulars on their roster, but they generally only play a few shifts per game, if that. 

The low event style of game for Atlant probably suits them well, but I don't know how they can manage to keep up against Ufa's speed, skill, and depth.  There is no advantage to be seen in goal, with Erik Ersberg and Konstantin Barulin posting almost identical numbers, and even in terms of recent playoff experience Ufa has them beat.  Luckily for Atlant, Ufa isn't that far away from the Moscow region, so travel shouldn't play a major role. 

I'm predicting that Ufa, winners of the last Superleague title back in 2008, will become the second team to win the Gagarin Cup, and will prevail in five games.  They have a seriously well built team that would honestly compete in the NHL.  They represent the potential of the league, while Atlant represents closer to the reality, as a team full of players who played themselves out of the NHL. 

  • Atlant @ Ufa, Friday Apr 8 (3:00 PM CET/10:00 PM EST)
  • Atlant @ Ufa, Sunday Apr 10 (1:00 PM CET/8:00 AM EST)
  • Ufa @ Atlant, Tuesday Apr 12 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)
  • Ufa @ Atlant, Thursday Apr 14 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)

Games 5-7 are as yet unscheduled, but every second day is the KHL standard, so expect Game 5 to be on Saturday, like an early start.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery and Museum

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

catamaran tag heuer

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

catamaran tag heuer

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

catamaran tag heuer

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

catamaran tag heuer

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

catamaran tag heuer

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

catamaran tag heuer

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

catamaran tag heuer

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
