To cleanse your aesthetic palate, cast your eyes upon the original 1964 Carrera. Again, it’s just one of many shameful designs to carry the Carrera name over several decades. While I appreciate double-D’s as much as the next creepy old white guy, the $4800 Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 DD is what the Brits call a dog’s breakfast. Sorry to inflict this on you, but to fully appreciate the Silver’s minimalist magnificence, you have to see how far the Carrera went astray. įirst let me say that Mikey likes it! He really likes it! After years of hugely expensive and hideous TAG Heuer Carrera variations – the $53,350 partially skeletonized, tourbillion-powered, diamond-encrusted Calibre Heuer 02T being a particularly heinous example – the TAG Heuer Carrera 160 Years Silver Limited Edition returns the Carrera to its racing roots. I’d like to use the new watch as a jumping off point for a rant about TAG’s waywards ways and retro designs. If you want the usual watchmaker history and PR fluff, feel free to click over to the usual suspects. The press embargo on the TAG Heuer Carrera 160 Years Silver Limited Edition launched yesterday, unleashing a tsunami of horological hosannahs from TAG’s media minions.
