Consumers who are looking for a mechanical watch that is able to read the time to an accurate degree may want to check out a new device from TAG Heuer.That is because the brand has used its press conference at Baselworld to show off its Mikrotimer, the first chronograph of its kind to measure and display time to 1/1000th of a second.Helping this is the fact that the timepiece is designed with 354 components, which makes the device able to boast a speed of 3.6 million beats per hour.TAG Heuer's new watch breaks the record of the most accurate device available, holding off competition from the brand's Mikrograph, which measures in at 1/100th of a second.Commenting on the pair of timepieces to Professional Jeweller, TAG Heuer president and chief executive Jean-Christophe Babin said: "Some of our competitors suggested that there was quartz inside. There is not and there is no quartz inside the Mikrotimer. There is no battery, no electricity, it is only mechanical."TAG Heuer has illustrated the effect of 1/1000th of a second by stating that in that time, light can travel 300 kilometres and Usain Bolt managed just 1.2 centimetres of his world record 100 metre run.

Aquaracer is a classic Tag Heuer collection: introduced over a quarter of a century ago, it gradually evolved, grew in material strength and durability, and amassed new qualities in both design and movement.

The Tag Aquaracer also has you looking good for any setting that requires a display of understated style.The Aquaracer’s frequent color scheme, a combination of light gray and brushed steel with a black dial, projects quiet inner strength. Enveloped in unique, incisive ruggedness it becomes characteristically masculine; Leonardo DiCaprio’s focussed and steady face (he represents this collection) embodies these traits, making the blend appear effortless. The sheer clarity and purposefulness of design of the Tag Aquaracer distinguishes it as the watch that requires a similar standard of excellence.Aquaracer DesignThe grooves cutting through the dial and the bezel of the 500M Calibre 5 piece resemble those on automobile tires, evoking a sense of speed, screeching breaks, and danger �C releasing the racer from the Aquaracer. Following, the vertical and the circular streaming of the same grooves brings out the water element. By seamlessly unifying flow and speed, this dial configuration implies a powerful, well-rounded, and highly effective marine watch �C some would claim the perfect marine watch.Most Aquaracers (a notable exception being some quartz variations) feature a monochrome logo: visual variety deliberately gives way to simplicity; when underwater, professional divers will be able to focus on the numerals and the indexes without distractions. Though it might not seem as such, altering the logo �C the face of the brand �C is not an easy decision. Tag Heuer made this bold move full speed ahead.Aquaracer MovementTag Heuer balanced the Aquaracer design flexibility with that of the performance movements. This collection incorporates not only automatic and quartz calibers, but also a much more rare in the sphere of luxury watches ana-digi movement, in the Aquaracer Chronotimer.Sport and dive timer aficionados will recognize this blend of classic watchmaking and advanced technology, as it appears in high-end Seiko and Casio developments as well.? Many will appreciate the Swiss brand’s willingness to rival the Japanese in this sphere.In terms of complication, the majority of timepieces feature a chronograph and a simple date window, often accompanied by day of the week indicator.Aquaracer SpecsAntireflective and scratch resistant sapphire crystal, coupled with luminescent indexes and hands, complete the safety spectrum by securing an extra edge in visibility.
