Basel 2006 : Monaco Concept LS / Carrera Pink gold

[Timewarp]

Dear fellow members,
I notice we haven't even talk yet about the watches TAG introduced during Baselworld this year ;-)

So for those who haven't seen them yet, there is :

Monaco LS - which is a calibre 360 version of the Monaco (is that clear?!)

Pls, notice the linear second at 3 o'clock which is terrific IMHO. So this watch is still a concept watch and I guess we'll heard about it again.

Calibre 360 Pink Gold edition :

This is a :-p pink gold version of last year concept watch! Maybe we can expect a Pink Gold Monaco LS next year ?!

Anyway I really fancy this limited edition, it do looks like it's a motorsport watch.

If only I could grab one of the 500 pieces available :-D

Wait a minute, is it sapphire crystal or plexiglass on the Monaco LS?

I've heard the shape of the glass make it difficult to be in sapphire crystal ...

These are two beautiful watches!

I've ordered myself a Monaco Vintage Limited Edition and I just can't wait receiving it :-!

I think the Monaco Concept LS looks like the Monaco Automatic. They belong to the "new generation" of Monaco watches. I like the dial of the old ones better - like the one of the Monaco Vintage - because it shows more personality in the design I suppose.

In fact, the more I look at the Monaco LS the more I find it looks like a plastic watch :oops: but that just might be because of the picture.

The pink gold Carrera 360 seems to be a very fine watch. We are not used to see such luxury items in the lines of Tag heuer. It looks classic and classy ;-)

You will notice that the "new-generation" of monaco's have sapphire crystal. The newest automatics (non chronographs) have sapphire so too the LS. They are smaller cased than the chronographs and the glass shape is different.

If I'm correct there is no AR-coating on the newest automatics. Can we expect one on the LS?

To the owners of one of the newset monaco automatics : would the watch be easier to look at is there was an A-R coating or is this just a detail?
