Monaco Calibre 360 LS


Baselworld 2006 was the prestigious setting for the launch of the next evolutionary phase of TAG Heuer’s 1/100th of a second chronograph technology : the Monaco Calibre 360 LS (Linear Second) Concept Chronograph, a daring new timepiece with an all-new architecture proudly exposing its unrivalled Calibre 360 LS precision technology.


Inspired by the revolutionary monaco v4

The dial-less Monaco Calibre 360 LS uses meticulously hand-finished engine bridges to reveal the critical functions:

1. Oversized 1/100th of a second chronograph counter exterior to the chronograph engine
2. 15-minute chronograph counter embedded in the chronograph engine
3. 100-minute power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock, similarly embedded
4. A revolutionary linear second indicator at 3 o’clock using an exclusive hairspring technology


Effortless readability

The seven distinct metal finishes of the bridges create an easy-to-read and undeniably avant-garde, prestigious dial. The square-faced Monaco Calibre 360 LS is true to the original yet resolutely contemporary, with a highly-faceted polished steel case, a curved sapphire crystal with case-integrated facets, and indicators embedded within the chronograph engine. The two square sapphire crystal windows in the case back provide a very different perspective on the Calibre 360 LS movement, beautifully decorated with Côtes de Genève waves.
