TAG Heuer’s latest pieces presented by GENEVE COMPANY

tag heuer lvmh watch week

LVMH Watch Week was held in Singapore in early January. Some watchmakers presented their newest pieces during this fourth edition, and TAG Heuer was among them. From a connected watch to a Monza, there really was something for everyone. Let’s take a closer look at the models presented at the event.

The TAG Heuer Monza Flyback Chronometer 

You are likely quite familiar with the older models in the range. The first model was released in 1976 to celebrate driver Niki Lauda’s victory in the Formula 1 World Championship. The watch now comes in a 42 mm carbon case housing a skeleton dial and sub-dials in translucent smoky blue sapphire crystal. The date window, which has a disc with a luminescent background, is located at 9 o’clock The Flyback complication allows you to easily reset the chronograph as well as measure speed and heart rate. The timepiece contains a COSC-certified movement, the Calibre Heuer 02 Fyback, with an 80-hour power reserve. 

The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph

Last year, the watchmaker presented its first solar-powered watch featuring its so-called Solargraph technology. At the time, it released a diving watch with a six-month power reserve that was charged by sunlight. This year, the model is back in full force in a brand new titanium version with a 40 mm case housing a partially transparent dial. And good news! We carry it on our website and at our shop!

The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph 60th Anniversary Edition

To commemorate 60 years of the Carrera chronograph, TAG Heuer is launching a 600-piece limited series inspired by the 1963 model. The 39 mm case holds a panda dial with a silver sunburst backdrop. The watch contains Calibre Heuer 02 with an 80-hour power reserve.

And what about smartwatches? Here you go! 

If you haven’t got the picture yet, TAG Heuer would like to stand out from its competitors with its smartwatches, so it was only natural for it to present an array of models. There is the TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 42 mm in black DLC-coated titanium with a sandblasted finish and the signature design of the iconic Carrera chronograph. TAG Heuer also keeps golfers in its sights with the Connected Calibre E4 42 mm Golf Edition in titanium, a model featuring Full Shot Tracking technology that will take your golfing game to the next level. Its light weight is a great advantage. There is also the TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 Sport 45 mm, perfect for serious adventurers and sportspeople. The barometer allows you track elevation when jogging or hiking.

How to change a watch battery

quartz-watch

Do you have some quartz watches somewhere within your great collection? As you know, quartz watches do not work the same way as your hand- or self-winding watches do. Indeed, quartz timepieces run on a battery. This battery will eventually die, at which time it will need to be replaced to make your watch work again and to prevent corrosion. Here are GENEVE’s tips for replacing a battery.

When to change a watch battery 

In general, a watch battery will need to be replaced about every two years. How long it lasts may vary depending on how the owner uses the watch. Before changing a watch battery, you will often have to wait for your watch to stop running. However, some watches have an end-of-life (EOL) function that will alert you that it will soon be time to replace the battery. The seconds hand will start making five-second jumps. 

Things to consider before replacing a battery

Before beginning, take time to choose a suitable space where you can safely change the battery. Choose a bright, quiet room and make yourself comfortable. It is especially important that you never put your fingers on the watch movement, as you risk damaging it permanently. Once you have changed the battery, make sure that the seal is in the right place and in good condition. Do not hesitate to visit us at the shop if you need help.

How to change a battery

Changing the battery is one thing, while opening and closing the case back is another. There are three different kinds of case backs: snap-in case backs, screw-down case backs, and case backs with individual screws. Here is a look at how to proceed in each case.

Opening and closing snap-in case backs

If you have a watch case knife, you can open a snap-in case back by inserting the tool into the slot and using leverage. Closing it is not always easy; if you cannot do it, visit your watchmaker.

Opening and closing screw-down case backs 

If you have a special tool for opening screw-down case backs, we advise you to position the tool in the notches on the case back and gently turn. 

Opening and closing case backs with individual screws 

For case backs with individual screws, use a screwdriver suited to the size of the screws in order to avoid damaging the case back. To close it, just screw the screws back on.

The timepieces are fitted with a sporty-looking rubber strap or a three-row metal bracelet for a more elegant style. Both options have folding clasps to allow you to best adjust the size of the bracelet for optimal comfort.

Awesome technical performance 

Beyond its eye-catching appearance, the SuperOcean can accompany you on all your adventures, both on land and at sea. The timepiece is water resistant to a depth of 300 metres. The hands coated in Super-LumiNova® ensure optimal readability. The bezel is resistant to scratches, wear and fading thanks to the use of ceramic. Moreover, with its automatic Breitling 17 calibre, the SuperOcean builds up a 38-hour power reserve. Breitling once again went with the boxy minute hand and thick minute track characteristic of the Slow Motion. A watch that will captivate diving watch fans.

A colour that is appearing increasingly more often on wrists, ice blue is the ideal shade to incorporate into your wardrobe this winter. Bell & Ross has released the BR-X5, a precise, pure, lightweight and durable timepiece. An introduction to this unique model.

Pure architecture 

The watch features a water-resistant multi-component satin-brushed and polished steel case measuring 41 mm in diameter. Seen from the front, it seems discreet, but from the side, it has a pure, radical architecture. The ice blue sunburst dial catches the eye and adds an elegant touch. The hour markers are coated in Super-LumiNova® for optimal readability, even in low light conditions. The skeletonised metal hour and minute hands are also coated in Super-LumiNova®. 

A watch powered by an excellent manufacture movement

Developed by the manufacture Kennisi, the BR-CAL.323 is Bell & Ross’s first COSC-certified movement. It builds up a power reserve of three days, meaning that you can take off the watch for the entire weekend and it will still be running on Monday when you put it back on. There is a large rounded aperture at 3 o’clock. With this timepiece, Bell & Ross focuses on precision and reliability. 

A first for Bell & Ross

The BR-X5 stands out from other models by the brand due to its movement and to the functions displayed on the dial. Indeed, Bell & Ross offers something new with the date window at 3 o’clock and the circular power reserve indicator at 9 o’clock. It is a new visual identity that the brand presents with the BR-X5.

The ‘70s on your wrist with the Tissot PRX Powermatic

Tissot PRX Powermatic

Fashion is an everlasting source of inspiration, and Tissot decided to draw on the 1970s to attract our attention. The Tissot PRX Powermatic is a watch that has a lot going for it. Let’s find out why it has become an absolute must-have and take a look at the models we have on our online shop and in store.

A timepiece inspired by a model released in the 1970s

As a connoisseur, it will not have escaped your notice that the Tissot PRX takes its cues from a model launched in 1978, so much so that we could call it a re-issue. With its vintage look and authentic 1970s-inspired design, the watch conveys Tissot heritage. The Tissot PRX Powermatic features a tonneau shape, a prominent bezel and sharp polished edges. The 40 mm case is attached to an integrated bracelet. Its slim profile makes it very comfortable to wear. Unlike the quartz version, the Powermatic has a dial with an embossed texture that helps reflect the light. The dial is adorned with baton-shaped hands, rectangular hour markers and a date window at 3 o’clock. Tissot used Super-LumiNova® to ensure optimal legibility.

The Powermatic movement 

As the name of the watch suggests, the Tissot PRX Powermatic contains a Powermatic movement, an automatic calibre that is the latest incarnation of the famous ETA2892. It builds up an 80-hour power reserve, enabling it to last through the weekend. The watch comes with a Nivachron hairspring to protect it from magnetic fields. Get a glimpse of the movement through the sapphire crystal case back.

The Tissot PRX Powermatic is a spot-on blend of quality, comfort and design. How long will it take you to succumb?
