SAVOIR FAIRE TAG Heuer Monaco: The Carbon Revolution

Few watches have shaped modern horology like the TAG Heuer Monaco. With its daring square case and racing pedigree, it became a symbol of rebellious style. Now, the TAG Heuer Monaco stays true to its groundbreaking heritage, incorporating a revolutionary advancement in watchmaking into its latest iteration. Crafted entirely in forged carbon — including case, pushers, and crown — the TAG Heuer Monaco Flyback Chronograph TH-Carbonspring, unveiled at Geneva Watch Days 2025, brings stealth aesthetics and structural strength to a 39mm silhouette.

Precisely 350 years after the invention of the hairspring in 1675 by Christiaan Huygens, TAG Heuer has reengineered this core component using carbon composite. Developed over nine years by the TAG Heuer LAB, the TH-Carbonspring oscillator is lighter, amagnetic, and far more shock-resistant than traditional alloys — offering a breakthrough in isochronism and resilience. The spiral motif engraved into the forged carbon dial echoes its revolutionary geometry. Accents of black gold and white SuperLumiNova® ensure legibility, while a black rubber strap with textile embossing adds durability and sport-ready comfort.

At its core, this Monaco houses the Calibre TH20-60, a COSC-certified automatic chronograph fitted with a flyback function — enabling instant reset and restart of timing, ideal for high-performance contexts.

Unlike traditional chronographs, where stopping and resetting take time, the flyback lets the chronograph reset and restart in a single motion, saving time when every second counts. In design and function, this timepiece is built for momentum.

Unveiled at Geneva Watch Days 2025 and released in an ultra-limited series of 50 pieces, the TAG Heuer Monaco Flyback Chronograph TH-Carbonspring is a technical tribute to TAG Heuer’s innovative DNA. A bold model that fuses avant-garde chronometry with one of TAG Heuer’s most iconic designs.

In this exceptional TAG Heuer Monaco, tradition accelerates forward, with a flyback reset and a carbon heart built for endurance.
