- See more @ www.ablogtoread.... Tag Heuer CEO Mr. Babin shows off the new for 2012 watch concept called the Mikrogirder 2000. It uses a new system developed by Tag Heuer that allows it to measure down to 5/10,000 of a second via its chronograph. The system is very impressive and elegant in this very high precision machine.
A master piece of micro-engineering. Bravo
It's not meant for real-life usage. The error introduced by your reaction time and the time it takes you to hit the start and stop is orders of magnitude greater than 1/1000th of a second anyway. It's a showpiece.
This watch is awesome. Its nice to see a watchmaker making their own movements and coming out with new technology. Great review on an innovative watch.
It's not the most accurate, it's the most precise. Accuracy and precision are different things.
AMAZING....,perfect I LOVE TAG HEUER.
and then the reset pusher doesn't work
LoL. Guess that's overloaded :v
The point of these 'pointless' watches is to showcase the R&D innovation of the company at the cutting edge against their competitors. They are haute couture one-off creations more than anything else and has little to do with how useful they are in a functional everyday sense. It is from these strange beasts that real world innovations spring from whether that be exotic materials, mechanical marvel or some other aspect of timing technology. It is catwalk material but important for the future.
Great watch, but kinda counterproductive. You get such accuracy, but a human thumb has to start and stop it (if you really were to use it for something important that requires that accuracy). Or mount it on a mechanical trigger attached to a laser sensor.
Go buy a Casio mate, you're not the target audience
+baralah haha. that's true
baralah I own 2 Tag Heuers myself, keyboard jarhead. I was trying to make a point. The watch as a mechanical piece has exceptional accuracy, but as a "stopwatch" you lose the whole micro precision because of your thumb reflex. It's not like, say a moon phase, which doesn't require an operator.

There is the loss of all that accuracy with the hand eye coordination. Typical variation by hand-eye is only 0.03” - 0.15”
A watch like that has 2 specs: long duration rate, and resolution.
5/10,000 sec sweep second hand, but the watch is +/- 0.5” per day.
What matters is the innovation and mechanical exception. Accuracy is not important.
Is that like a combination of medicaid and manicure?
No way, Tag is a well made high end watch company. Their patens can fill a book. They designs are modern and innovative. If only Rolex could be more revolutionary with their designs. Id buy 100 one it just looks better spinning then the 1000 or 2000.
i just love it
Awesome ACHIEVEMENT! That's is what this is about. Nobody minds if you choose to "get it done with a Casio", great watches, but if you want a blend of passion, art and science to appreciate every ten-thousandth second of a day with...you'll show up..."here."
..if you want a blend of...
Bizarrely, i was thinking about a blender while watching this video...
Incidentally, in 1968... the athletic world has switched from mechanical timekeeping to electronic... and never got back to mechanical... except Tag Heuer...
Tag Heuer has some serious skills in creating mechanical watches, i just hope that the engineers at Tag Heuer could use their skills to help out developments in the medical field, like mechanical protesis or even delevoping parts for an artificial heart.
Genius engineering, not quite so genius demonstration from the Tag Heuer CEO.
Rolex where instrumental in forming the modern "sport" luxury watch market. They created entire lines that these pseudo luxury watch brands now compete for. With Rolex you are buying into a rich pedigree, timeless designs and watches that are built to last. I have a vintage 1970's day date that still runs perfectly and looks great. The watch has also increased about five fold in value making in an excellent investment.
Folks, I honestly couldn't understand most of your comments. The trouble is that you wrote 'censor' when you meant 'sensor'. I'm no grammar nazi, but I do insist on being able to understand you. Using 'alot' when you mean 'a lot' doesn't impede understanding and is no big deal, but using 'censor' when you mean 'sensor' is a problem.
It's mechanical. No electric current is used. The watch is powered by a coiled spring.
oh my god...this is THE WATCH!!!!...but how reliable is? can it be for everyday use? its wearable or is a concept like watch, like a powerfull show off from tag?
Zenith invented the AUTOMATIC chronograph (or Seiko depending on who you ask). The chronograph itself dates back way before then thou. Tag is a pretty doggy watch brand. Mostly hot air backed by celebrity endorsement. With the exception of a few pieces there is nothing worth talking about this brand. This might change with the purchase of zenith or they might drag this great brand in the gutter with them.
They were taken more seriously when it was just Heuer and they had good partnership with Lemania and a decent reputation in automotive sports. This TAG organisation made them into this superficial brand with expensive celebrity endorsements for basically mediocre watches.
Please explain to me what would be clearer than black and white
So basically to read from this watch,you mind needs to be as fast too to keep up with the watch.Remember what each unit means add up and then remember the time.But it is a beautiful piece of engineering.An achievement.It costs 88,000 dollars doesnt it?
@star42 HaHa Check out 2:38 as well. Something strange is happening as well with the central hand. Ironically, Babin then says: "So basically, what did happen"? HaHa Yea, I'd like to know as well.
Now make it look nice and it might be an appealing watch to own.
It's weird that there's no normal seconds dial, only "3 seconds" notches, and a "3 seconds" dial. I understand why they did it but it's not very legible
Très bien
Anyone else notice he couldn't get it to reset at the end? I don't know if it broke or he just couldn't press the pushers well enough, but that seems kind of worrying.
LOL whats the power reserve whilst the chronograph is running? 10 minutes?
It's not a watch. It's a stopwatch. Something like this isn't used for that long
@@MPD90 well technically the watch part is a watch. But the main point of this model is to be a uselessly accurate stopwatch
Completely agree. I was thinking the same thing the whole time. It makes it look like a cheap plastic Casio.
@danijelsan81 I'm guessing it was running out of power reserve? the last few revolutions before they stopped it looked kind of shaky
Interesting, but I think it is not possible use 1/10000 s, because of human reaction time is 0.1 - 0.2 s. And human fingers are soft (tender) and it is not possible do precisious click.
thank you.
He's the fucking CEO he can do whatever the fuck he wants. He can even be naked while introducing this watch.
Great video!
They dont use watches to time Race's, it's all done by censors under the car's which at various point's on a track it register's a time upto 1/1000 of sec, so you dont have ppl with watches clocking F1 or any professional racing at all. lol
@sdchew Yea, that's what I thought as well. I believe Babin was winding it before using the chronograph function for the second time. Maybe I'm mistaken. Is the chronograph function such a drain on the power reserve? In any case, really strange. :)
danijelsan81 taghguer
How much now in 2021
tag heuer great watce ever
How much a watch price
@danijelsan81 Yeah I'd noticed that also, which caused me to cringe slightly. Ariel did the reset function failed on Mr Babin?
Very cool, even himself can't read. It is: 9+1.45+0.0150=10.4650.
Cool watch!!! But, in real life isn't it useless, measuring only 90 seconds?
Only 90 seconds to record? So you can't time any hotlaps on reasonable sized tracks with it
Aw come on, matt black is BEAUTIFUL!
This watch got some serious problems...Mr. Babin tried to push the button sometimes, but you can see the central hand not in order. At the end, Babin start the chrono again, but it's not move and sure that why he cannot reset.
What my opinion is 1/1000 second is good enough for gimmick, 1/2000 is just too much.
Is this a stopwatch or actual current time watch
+Pete P chronograph watches show the time, independently from the chrono function. You can cleary see the hour and minute hand.
Why do they say 5/10000 instead of 1/2000? Seems like Tag Heuer hasn't learned how to simplify fractions.
not to be picky... but going full matt black with white markings.... not so clear !
@907AlphaKilo I'm sure it is way more expensive than that.
will it blend?
i want it .... so bad ...
how much does it cost?
He is off by 0.0495. CEO precision is limited @ or around 1/20sec.
Breitlings are generally poor value purchases. I can recommend far better quality watches with the same look at a better price. For example google breitling navitimer vs. sinn 903. Fads come & go and your personal taste will change over. What you think looks modern now will look dated in a decade. Have a look some of 1980 Omegas and compare it to a 1980s Submariner. Some designs are timeless which means you can pass the watch to your son without it looking passe 20-30 years for now.
What just happened at 3:37? :)
I don't see the point in having a stop watch that accurate. There are too many variables in the physical nature of using a stop watch that render tenths of a second useless.
just trying to figure it out made my head hurt
wtf I press pause and i still cant see the seconds hand :(
Hi I have mikro 5000 girder I think sell
Without going into detail a lot of these patients are superficial alterations that add no real improvement to the performance of the watch. Most of their models use generic ETA with minor unnecessary mods. The term lipstick on a pig comes to mind.
uh how much? who says tag is lower then any luxery watch, i disagree, check out what they invented they probably have more patents then anyone else. i think they invetned the first chronograph.
It was Heuer, not Tag Heuer yet
Points for engineering, but the fuck good is that going to do to any human, ever?
I don't like the GIANT 2000 at the top........to me, it's kind of tacky, but I know some people will like it.
Correction: the most "precise" chronograph watch in the world.
That's mechanical!?
no its mechanicool
see what i did there
I see what you did there, lol :)
Your brain and nerves take 0.2 seconds to push the button on average. this watch can measure 0.0001 sec.
Nice feature...but impractical
That's cool... but i'd still be late everywhere
😂
Blink...and you'll miss it!😏
It hurts to hear french people speak English!
Sooo true
Just letting you know its even worst hearing an English speaker speak French, if you happen to stumble on the 1% that actually might know a second language.
Saruman1000
Scores a point! But it SOUNDS ugly if french speak English.
hahahaha tents ofah sekon cute. who the heck would buy this? I'm happy with my carrera lol
+Saruman1000 well said!
When I do the helicopter deek
They are timeless in design, but thats a problem they look old and out dated. i dont even think the look good. Its ok if you grandmother or grandfather wants to wear them. I till think they look cheap. the back plate looks cheap, mill that out and maek some design there. And make some modern looking watches that are tasteful. REmove the clasp as it cheap stamped steel make it solid. You never know in future who become great. Just because Breitling isnt the best investment if they continue.....
So they can only tell time for 4.5 minutes? (90*3)/60 And at the end the watch kinda failed. It's a cool watch but totally useless probably. They'd better make a cool Carrera instead of investing R&D in things like this in my opinion.
Really nice watch, too bad you have to be a billionaire to buy one...
Ugh- the 2000 is ugly. I guess it's cool that the watch registers 1/2000 of a second (although the readout is pretty dang confusing: multiply this by three then add that...).
They should have just put a stylized "1/2k" at the top. That would have looked better IMO.
Can't you see with yoru eyes that that company makes things as cheap as possibly, pick a tag up and hold it, or breitling the quality is there, Roles was making hollow links till few years back saying it was for weight, Walmart watches are made the same way. I do agree they have a huh resale value but give us something more modern that the old stuff. It ok for my dad to where he was young in the 60's. I just think they uimaganitve, even the back plate seems cheap to me mill that out.
and it's only 100 Grand...
You need a Medicure
3:01 He is blind? I see 10,4645
great technology, bad implementation
I don't like Tag, I think they have lost it after the classic Monoco and TAG Heuer Link, their designs are terrible now, the Carrera is the most plain and boring watch I have ever seen. I'd rather have a high qulity Citizen.
he didnt answer the orgional question of how accurate the watch was. Is it more accurate than the grand seiko quartz 5 seconds a year. lol not
I don't know if you want to wear an $86,000 watch around everyday.
Nowadays it is about $120,000
Price increased by 39.5% in 9 years.
Not bad.
Sucks that these crazy new tags are so unobtainable
My US$10 Casio does it better... :p
Given that the tag watch broke after 2 uses, has a minuscule power reserve and can only time as long as 90 seconds i'd rather have the Casio. Although the Tag is a pretty darn impressive feat of engineering it's still more of a concept watch atm.
tag heuer not tank heuer :DDDDD
this is pointless because a time measurement that specific will never be accurate to what you are measuring as it is far greater than your reactions could ever cope with. the readings are meaningless
I don`t like this watch.That guy can rather clean his nails before doing a review!
2$ seiko can do this better
wtf? Are you a man or a woman? I personally would never notice nails of a man if he is holding such a preety thing in his hands.
so it's like installing a supercharger into a 1988 ford fiesta.
at the end of the day, it's still a tag heuer... pure junk.
You don't know watches at all, do you?
one word. useless. and I guess no other brand goes that way (fortunately)
So dumb!
A super accurate timer whose precision relies on a human thumb mashing a button?!?
The Olympics use light-gate detectors for a reason.
Tag Useless
haha!
1 2 3.. chinese coping
Stupid watch ....
really nice and useless ...
what an ugly watch.
useless watch
yes and after 3 days u need new battery LOL
