LIFESTYLE Time Out: The Art of Ingenuity

To celebrate the release of the new TAG Heuer Monza Calibre Heuer 02 COSC Flyback, paper artist Aurely Cerise explores the roots of the timepiece and how it was inspired by Heuer’s relationship with motorsport.

Born out of the relationship between Heuer and Ferrari during the landmark 1975 Formula 1 World Championship, the TAG Heuer Monza is a symbol of perseverance and precision. By deploying revolutionary timekeeping techniques, Heuer helped Ferrari overcome a decade-long drought to take the drivers’ and constructors’ titles. To commemorate this triumph, the Swiss watchmaker created the Heuer Monza in 1976.

To commemorate the release of the new TAG Heuer Monza Calibre Heuer 02 COSC Flyback, paper artist Aurely Cerise’s layered artwork captures the savoir faire, the technical detail, and the precision behind the watch. In doing so, Aurely seamlessly deconstructs the legacy of the watch down to its core. 

An homage to the TAG Heuer Monza, Aurely’s artwork acts as a time machine. It seeks to take you on a journey, from the early days of the watch to its modern form. Capturing every detail with meticulous precision using only paper, Aurely breathes life into the skeleton dial, offering us a peek inside this mechanical marvel.

No detail is overlooked, as the artist gives each element its place in the spotlight. The dial, with its adrenaline-inducing blue, black and red details. The pushers controlling the new flyback chronograph. And finally, the strap upon which all the parts are masterfully set. With clear-cut precision and patience, Aurely mirrors the intricate watchmaking process here at TAG Heuer.

Aurely’s creation evokes the ingenuity that has gone into the making of the new TAG Heuer Monza Calibre Heuer 02 COSC Flyback. This isn’t just an eye-catching piece of art; it’s an ode to the watchmaking process.
