"The high-precision mechanism, specially created and hand-assembled, provides an unbelievable oscillating frequency of 360,000 vibrations per hour. With such a high-powered system, the Calibre 360 creates a new milestone in Swiss watchmaking history. The quantum leap to 360,000 vibrations per hour from usually 28,800 or 36,000 could be compared to a Formula 1 engine jumping from 18,000 rpm to 180,000 rpm!"

Based on the Calibre 360 Concept Chronograph, the first mechanical chronograph to measure and display times accurate to 1/100th of a second, the famous TAG Heuer Carrera (first introduced in 1964) is now being released as a limited edition timepiece (only 500) in 18-carat rose gold.
