2014 TAG Heuer Monaco V4 Tourbillon Review

In 2014, TAG Heuer presented this award-winning (including best design award and Red Dot award) watch, the belt driven replica TAG Heuer Monaco V4 Tourbillon.  41 x 41mm case, polished (grade 5) titanium case with black titanium carbide coating. It also features a bevelled sapphire crystal on the front and three sections of sapphire crystal on the case back. The best TAG Heuer Monaco replica watches at captainthewatch.is.

The first things to notice are the two v-shaped bridges. These bridges are made from steel, bevelled by hand, fine-brushed and finished with a black coating. The largest one is holding the belt wheels. When you take a closer look at the belts, it shows how incredibly tiny these actually are, with a thickness of 0.07 mm only. The tourbillon cage is located at the 9 o’clock position, placed underneath the belt wheel thus making it less visible.

Powered by a (patented) linear mass, which is visible on the back side of the watch. Made of tungsten, a metal that is most known from it’s use in light bulbs. This lingot shaped weight moves up and down on a rail  system, located between two pairs of barrels that are angled at ± 13 degrees, like the cylinder of a racing engine. Each set of barrels is linked by a single belt, with internal steel reinforcement wire.
