TAG Heuer Mikrogirder 2000 - New Concept Watch Unveiled
If you think that a watch beating at 7.2 million beats per hour sounds fast, then you'd be right. This is the pulse rate of the TAG Heuer Mikrogirder 2000, a new concept watch unveiled at TAG Heuer's pre-Basel event held in Geneva last week.
To put this into context, the Mikrogirder beats twice as fast at the previous record-holder, the TAG Heuer Mikrotimer, and 250-times as fast as a regular watch. There is of course of a purpose to this ultra-high frequency, and that's to allow for a more accurate chronograph - the party trick of the Mikrogirder is its ability to record minute fractions of time, being the first watch able to time events to an accuracy of 5/ 10,000th of a second.

SIHH 2012 Men’s Watch Highlights
On scene here at the SIHH 2012 watch show in Geneva, I am happy to report that the modern men’s watch is the focus of the event. It was not a revolutionary year in terms of style of technical complications, but the message is clear “the contemporary men’s watch is coming back.”
The last few years saw too much vintage, too much down-sizing (literally in size), and the proliferation of the unisex watch. The reasons are varied but of little importance now because watch brands are finally again focusing on the global men’s market – where size matters.
