I still yearn for this day.... *PIC*

When TAG Heuer makes an in-house movement that would allow them to have an hour counter at 9 o'clock and a 30 minute counter at 3 o'clock...only then they would truly have a Monaco that touches on the original Caliber 11 movement and draw in the purist who are still waiting for a Monaco down to the last detail like in 1969.

Just my two cents... I would like to know how come they don't do it?

JLC did it, why not TAG Heuer...

: Jeff, I do believe you are trying too hard ;)

: TAG give me the impression that they are being lazy with the design
: of their watches (apart from their high end designs, which are
: not my cup of tea either). They seem to take the easy route, and
: could do with starting over again with their cases, pushers,
: dial script etc instead of using the same ugly ones over and
: over. The paint on this dial is indeed quite nice so that is a
: small positive. Much like most of my school reports TAGs end of
: term reports would read "must try harder". However I'm
: unconvinced they relly care, they are an extremely good
: marketing machine and that seems to do for them...
