TAG Heuer Reshapes the Chronograph Experience

In recent years—whether within the realm of watchmaking or across various cross-disciplinary arenas—TAG Heuer has garnered significant industry attention thanks to a series of pioneering achievements. As the Official Timekeeper of the F1® World Championship, TAG Heuer boasts a heritage deeply intertwined with motorsport that spans over a century. The brand’s close collaboration with the Red Bull Racing team in recent years has seen champion driver Max Verstappen frequently take to the podium—where every split second counts—wearing a TAG Heuer timepiece, capturing the decisive moments of victory and defeat within mere milliseconds. In the world of *Haute Horlogerie*, precision is, by its very nature, the critical factor that determines success; indeed, as the brand itself asserts, this "race of milliseconds" constitutes not only the core essence of timekeeping but also a fundamental part of TAG Heuer’s DNA—deeply ingrained in its very bloodstream.

Carole Kasapi officially joined TAG Heuer in March 2020. During her tenure, she spearheaded numerous core R&D initiatives—not only driving key enhancements such as the upgrade of the TH20 movement and the introduction of a five-year warranty, but also participating in the development of carbon-composite hairsprings and collaborating with Vaucher to co-develop the TH81-00 movement. Indeed, I have previously noted comments from both domestic and international media suggesting that, since joining TAG Heuer, she has shifted the focus of R&D toward enhancing the practical utility of watchmaking, striving to align with consumers' core expectations for Swiss luxury timepieces. This pragmatic approach to innovation perfectly embodies her current watchmaking philosophy: that the true essence of luxury watchmaking lies not merely in exquisite artistic expression, but equally in exceptional reliability and practical functionality. 

TAG Heuer’s TH-Carbonspring—a composite hairspring crafted from carbon material—represents the culmination of an extensive and protracted research and development initiative. We embarked on this R&D journey as early as nine years ago; however, bringing it to mass production required the continuous stabilization of our manufacturing processes, alongside the resolution of complex technical challenges to ensure the material could withstand various external environmental factors, such as temperature fluctuations and changes in humidity. This constitutes a major achievement and stands as a project deeply centered on the user experience. Through this technology, we have pioneered an industry-first solution for magnetic resistance utilizing a novel material composition.
