The exclusive edition of this model for the Only Watch auction includes a chronograph module, which is decorated with yellow hands, indexes and accents, making it unique. The back of the watch contains the engraved “Only Watch 7th edition – 2017” with the number “Only Watch 1/1”, which further emphasizes the exclusivity of this unique model.

The mechanism that is skeletonized and contains a small inertia turbine is designed from carbon and titanium and is currently the only one on the market. It consists of 284 components, it has a diameter of 31 mm, a thickness of 6.9 mm and a frequency of 4 Hz, with an energy reserve of 65 hours.

Its design, deliberately designed with the strategic goal of reaching a price of less than 15,000 CHF, was originally introduced in 2015. In order to achieve this goal, each team that worked on the production of this model (engineers, watchmakers, designers, production and procurement) were part of the process that optimized the costs of each stage of development.
Thanks to this synergy, the challenge was successfully won, and the watch was first presented at the jewelry and watch exhibition in Basel, 2016. In the Swiss watchmaking industry, the price of 14,900 CHF for the turbine watch is very favorable, and it has also made Jean-Claude Bever the desire to find the TAG Heuer brand as the market leader for affordable luxury.
