Without missing a beat, I was told by my-then-bosses to scamper off into a corner and produce within an hour, an article to be published online, that would tell everyone about the watch with a tourbillon that you could now buy with only 14,900 of your Swiss Francs.Ĭertainly, it was an unheard of price for a tourbillon watch, breaking a price barrier for such a complication that had not been expected for a long time. That fateful day in the middle of the throes of Baselworld 2015, back when I was working with Revolution magazine, I was introduced to this watch during a meeting with Guy Sémon (General Manager of TAG Heuer at the time), who graciously and with little cajoling, decided to give us permission to be the first to release the news on this watch, despite it being a further three months before the embargo would be lifted. The TAG Heuer Carrera Tourbillon 02T was a watch that I fell in love with the moment I saw it, and even then it only existed at the time as a computer generated rendering on a piece of paper.
