The label launched one certain number retreads and a new concept in Basle this year. The stop watch of the Monaco, used by Steve McQueen in the back in manner of film Mans in 1971, is a vigorous TH and they had twisted the timeless design during years. This year they have a concept stopwatch with the movement of 36.000 bph which floats inside the case to ensure the absorption of shock even in a fall of 20 meters.

I am not a great man of label myself but you must admit that the face and the movement squares make this a little nice that their bottom-of-the-range F1 packing of the watches which you see on the newspaper.

LABEL HEUER PAYS HOMAGE OF POINT TO the 24 OF the MANS

The car of the most mythical resistance of the world inspires

a prototype 2009 of inauguration of BaselWorld:

The stop watch of concept of the MONACO twenty-four

More the MONACO avant-garde never

The Heuer LABEL reveals its more advanced watch up to now: the stop watch of concept of the MONACO twenty-four, a sharp creation inspired in the overfed racing racing cars of the 24 of Mans.

The watch of luxury carries one 24 oversize at 12 noon and the blue and orange stable emblematic of oil of Gulf – the same Ambassador Steve McQueen de Heuer of LABEL of colors carried in his traditional of 1970 films, Mans.

Based on the iconic outside of the place-formed Monaco of Steve McQueen, the extreme design and components shock-protected tubular single from the watch of concept are directly inspired by technology racecar of the WP. An innovating wonder with a single dial in two parts and see-through in an oversize case and very contemporary (40.5mm), the stop watch of concept of the MONACO twenty-four is actuated by the superlative movement of gauge 36 of Heuer of LABEL (beat per the astounding speed of 36.000 beats/hour implacably like engine of a prototype of Mans functioning to 350 km/h), obvious of before and by its sapphire crystal caseback. Seriously smooth and of point, this daring creation of department lately increased by the research and development of Heuer of LABEL is a triumph of lightness and of transparency, however it looks at as it could directly put 400 kilometers per hour in bottom of fabulous Mulsanne of race of resistance.

Jean-Christophe Babin, President de Heuer of LABEL and president: The stop watch of concept of the MONACO twenty-four is inspired in the racing racing cars phenomenally powerful – true wonders of the technology and the design of the very last thing – which compete with each June in the 24 hours of Mans. Our proud bond with this historical race started 40 years ago, when our first ambassador of mark, OJ Siffert, was the fastest man on the way, and the first Monaco, the star of support on the wrist of Steve McQueen in Mans, was the hottest watch on the circuit. Since, the Monaco presented the innovation of Heuer of LABEL and the creativity, both in its changing unfolding of more sold editions, and in its versions prizes winner of concept. Of OJ Siffert and Steve McQueen in 1969 in Lewis Hamilton in 2009, version of vintage to this most futuristic creation still, the pushes of legacy of the Monaco always LABEL Heuer forwards.

The sophisticated watch of concept is latest in a series of watches of inauguration of concept on the mythical watch of Steve McQueen. In 2003, the MONACO at sixty-nine double side gained the coveted watch of design of the reward of year to Clock large of Price in Geneva. In 2004, the MONACO m by V4 belt was called watch of the year by the magazine of Wallpaper* and better of than there is of nine by popular Science. In 2007, the stop watch of concept of the MONACO 360 LS, the stop watch of the most precise wrist of the world, were allotted the prestigious one if reward of design.

Inspired in the cars of the WP most robust and most powerful in the professional motorsports:

In a world initially, the powerful movement of gauge 36 of Heuer of the LABEL of the stop watch of concept of the MONACO twenty-four floats inside a black case of DEVELOPING COUNTRY, suspended in a housing various of steel-tube of energy like much a protective camp of the cockpit of driver of racing racing car. The components inside the polished black Developing country-coated case (based on the case of the MONACO V4) are still insulated with a damping matter of made up filter employed in aerospace and automatic packing. The various arms gather vibrations and direct them starting from the movement and in the composed filter, which absorbs and absorbs their energy.

Another innovation never-before-sight is the centrifugal system of the watch: the three arrows on the annular weight of oscillation, the obvious one of before dial and by the sapphire crystal caseback, show its functioning rotation. To measure out of tungsten of industrialist-category, the weight of oscillation makes echo of the mags chromium of a car of the WP. The dial large-fact face and black-texturis supports from the 24. oversize at 12 noon, in the honor of the 24 of Mans.

Dial in two innovator parts the semi secondary-meters with 9 and 3 hours have the doubled hands: over the 3 hours, for example, the first part of the hand shows 0 to 15 minutes when the other part of the same hand passes under the higher dial.

Resisting of water 100 meters, with the treatment side doubles anti-r3flchissant on glass curved stripe-resistant crystal of sapphire to ensure best legibility, this watch superlative indicates impressing the direction that the myth of the Monaco will ensure its 40 years to come.

The stop watch of concept of the MONACO twenty-four is equipped with a new revolutionary shock absorber, the advanced dynamic system of absorption (ADAS).

With the difference in the protective system of shock of Incabloc of a conventional watch, which protects only the outfall against external shocks, the ADAS protects the movement in its totality, not simply its components of regulation.

The stop watch of concept of the MONACO twenty-four can thus resist an impact of 24.000 G, the equivalent of a fall of 20 meters.
