Heuer "Monaco"
The narrow course of the Circuit de Monaco is a racetrack that forever fascinates the Formula 1 enthusiasts. In 1969 the company TAG Heuer launched an exceptional chronograph in its honour.
The world-famous actor Steve McQueen recognized something of himself in the bold and rebellious personality of the watch and wore it in 1970 while filming the motion picture "Le Mans".
The Monaco stands for TAG Heuer’s groundbreaking spirit like no other watch, and is a unique and daring timepiece that remains unrivalled to this day.
