Sporting Feats

It is in the nature of man to wish to attain ever higher goals, especially in sports. The Olympic motto Citius, Altius, Fortius encourages athletes, as well as sports enthusiasts, to continuously improve their performance. Records are made to be beaten, pushing back physical limits each time against increasingly severe tests of physical strength and spirit. Of course, time is of the essence in many sports. These precious timepieces will help you to achieve greater feats in sports, even if you didn’t make it to Beijing.

GrandeVitesse

This Racing model is fitted with an L667 automatic self-winding mechanical movement (Valjoux 7750), producing 28,800 alternations per hour and offering a power reserve of 46 hours. Its chronograph mechanism has a seconds dial in the center, a 30-minute counter at 12 o’clock and 12 hours at 6 o’clock. The black dial shows the date, hour and minutes, has a seconds subdial at 9 o’clock and is embellished with a big “12” and painted indices, which set off the “Mach 2” tachymeter on the bezel in aluminium. The case in stainless steel has a back in sapphire glass revealing the oscillations of the movement. Strap in genuine black leather with deployment buckle.

TAG Heuer Grand Carrera Calibre 6 RS Diamond Bezel

Bejeweled with 68 Top Wesselton diamonds (1.13 carats) on its polished fixed stainless-steel bezel, the new unisex Grand Carrera Calibre 6 RS is classically elegant and subtly daring, with a brown dial and a choice of steel or alligator strap with solid steel folding clasp. The 40.2 mm diameter timepiece is equipped with a TAG Heuer Calibre 6 RS movement, with Rotating Small Second System at 6 o’clock decorated with “Côtes de Genève” and diamond polished facets. Other features include solid steel folding clasp with safety pushbuttons and applied TAG Heuer logo.

Romvlvs Chronograph

Romvlvs Chronograph features an excellent finishing of self-winding chronograph movement certified by the COSC. The case plays on the contrasts between satin-brushed and brilliant polishing fitted with either a crocodile leather strap or a steel bracelet complete with a customized CORUM triple folding clasp in stainless steel. Its broad 44mm stainless steel case smoothly incorporates the famous “wave-profile” bezel, which requires extremely complex, delicate and accurate machining. Its water resistance to 50 meters (5 atmospheres) is guaranteed by o-ring joints fitted in grooves specially machined in the caseback and the inner rim of the case.
