Beyond telling time, watches are time capsules. Why so? Consider this: the oldest watch brands came into existence in 1735, while Be to the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry-dated two centuries earlier in 1541. In that respect, watches encapsulate tales of lore and history and are the physical embodiment of innovation and technical know-how. For the TAG Heuer Monaco, it was the first square cased, water-resistant, automatic chronograph that revolutionised watchmaking when it launched in 1969. Coupled with a watch named after the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix and gracing the wrists of racing legends such as Jo Siffert, Jochen Rindt and close friend of the brand, actor Steve McQueen, the TAG Heuer Monaco shot into icon territory in double quick time. This year marks a new chapter in the TAG Heuer Monaco history books as the watchmaker strips back the icon to reveal the TAG Heuer Monaco Skeleton.
