Trading may be the most sensible way of managing a collection, but the downside of being a trader is the regret that comes with selling a watch that you still like. Often a few months pass and you see the same model up for sale and your mind starts to drift towards buying it back.I’ve succumbed to this temptation only once- buying back the same model I had owned and sold…and sure enough a few months later I sold it again. Which watch? It might surprise you: a TAG Heuer Microtimer_Tag Heuer Microtimer cs111c.ft600_Tag Heuer Replica Watches.
Background
The TAG Heuer Microtimer began life as the TAG Heuer Micrograph back in 2002, and was named after the famous Heuer Mikrograph of 1916- the first stopwatch to offer 1/100 second accuracy.
The Micrograph was initially offered as a limited edition of 999 watches and carried marking noting that TAG Heuer was the official timekeeper of the FIA F1 World Championship.
Like the original Mikrograph, the TAG Micrograph (Ref. CS111B) was accurate to 1/100 of a second. The watch won the 2002 Best Design Award at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Geneve and there was enough interest to justify adding the watch to the permanent TAG Heuer catalogue, although not until the name was changed- to “Microtimer”.
From this single Microtimer, TAG Heuer have made a couple of other models, including two questionable ladies versions- one with diamonds and the other on a white leather strap and with the LCD screen reversed (light background and dark numerals as against the original dark background and light numerals).
Some eight years after its launch, the Microtimer is still going strong, although I’ve never had the feeling that its been a huge seller for TAG- however, it is a very distinctive, niche, cutting-edge design and is genuinely different to the rest of the TAG Heuer range. It was also a test-bed for the technology that TAG Heuer would later use in the Monaco 69 watch.
Why buy a TAG Heuer Microtimer_Tag Heuer Microtimer cs111c.ft600_Tag Heuer Replica Watches?
The main thing that attracted me to the Microtimer was its incredible design- the watch still looks cutting-edge more than 8 years after it was first released. To me its the same spirit that was behind the Heuer Chronosplit of the 1970s, but without the reliability issues.
The functions are all there- dual time-zone, a myriad of timing and date functions and a cool “black” screen effect where you can turn off the screen, similar to the night-running feature that Saab cars used to have.
So, a distinct design and a bullet-proof movement- why the doubts? For almost all Microtimer owners the frustrations are the same- the case can be a scratch-magnet.
I should say that I never got a scratch of either of my Tag Heuer Microtimers, but the fear of doing so meant that I was very careful when I wore it- which takes away part of the beauty of owning a quartz watch- you can usually pick it up and wear it without thinking twice or having to set the time and date.
The problem is not that the metal itself scratches any more easily than other types of steel, but rather that the high-shine finish shows up every mark, scuff and knock and if anything seems to amplify even the smallest mark.
So if you are the type of person who never bumps a watch, or doesn’t care when you do, then the Microtimer is certainly worth a look, because it genuinely is a special design and a true avant-garde watch.
Perhaps I need to stick the photo of the scratched TAG Heuer Microtimer_Tag Heuer Microtimer cs111c.ft600_Tag Heuer Replica Watches on my desktop to stop me from finding out if it’s a case of third time lucky.
