Watches Mastering Every Split Second

TAG Heuer’s triumphant return as Formula 1®’s Official Timekeeper marks a bold new era in motorsport precision. From its pioneering role in the 1960s, timing the sport’s greatest legends, to its technological breakthroughs in the 1990s and 2000s, the Swiss Maison has always been at the heart of racing. Now, with the TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph | F1®, TAG Heuer reaffirms its legacy, fusing Avant-Garde Horlogerie with the raw energy of Formula 1®.

Few complications embody motorsport timing as accurately as the rattrapante, or split-seconds chronograph. Designed for simultaneously measuring multiple time intervals with pinpoint accuracy, this function is a cornerstone of elite racing, where every fraction of a second defines victory. The TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph | F1® brings this intricate mechanism to life, delivering unparalleled performance through its high-frequency movement. A marvel of precision engineering, this complication reflects the adrenaline-fueled intensity of the sport and of our Maison’s DNA.

Avant-garde innovation is at the heart of the TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph | F1®. Crafted from a single block of white ceramic, the case preserves the ergonomic construction of its titanium predecessor—an impressive feat given the technical challenges of shaping ceramic. The result is a watch that balances technical mastery with functional comfort. A direct nod to the ceramic composites used in F1®’s high-performance components, from brakes to hybrid bearings, the case is light and scratch-resistant. The red-tinted translucent dial channels the dynamic energy of the race track, while the chronograph counters echo the design of starting grid positions, featuring the official F1® font, and prominently display the phrase “LIGHTS OUT & AWAY WE GO,” famously announced by David Croft at the start of every Grand Prix. The logo F1® at 6 o’clock accentuates the racing DNA of this timepiece, while the hand-lacquered crown highlights TAG Heuer’s watchmaking craftsmanship, alongside intricate details such as the checkered pattern on the caseback and the decorated oscillating mass.

Limited to just 10 pieces, the TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph | F1® is as rare as the world’s most exclusive supercars. Its presentation box, inspired by Formula 1®’s signature colors, is as meticulously designed as the timepiece itself, reinforcing the exclusivity of this motorsport icon. Inside, the movement showcases a hand-painted pattern on the oscillating mass, inspired by the curbing of F1® racetracks—a final detail that connects the timepiece even further to the sport’s high-speed DNA. A watch that doesn’t just measure time—it defines it.
