Worn by Steve McQueen in the classic 1970 Hollywood racing movie Le Mans, the Monaco is hard to forget. The square case of this exceptional timepiece alone does wonders to capture your attention and remain in your imagination. Produced by the legendary Swiss watchmaking company TAG Heuer, the Monaco is an exceptional automatic chronograph.
Only the most dedicated and trusted names in the world of wristwatches would attempt a recreation of this incredible timepiece. Enter Vintage Heuer and the Bamford Watch Department. For this project, Vintage Heuer brought its extensive knowledge of classic TAG Heuer designs to Bamford’s boutique custom timepiece operations. The result of this unique partnership, the TAG Heuer Monaco by Bamford & Vintage Heuer balances a profound respect for the look and feel of the original Monaco with the added “twists” that have become recognized as Bamford’s stock-in-trade.
In addition to its distinct square design that is also echoed by the dual square chronographs, the TAG Heuer Monaco by Bamford & Vintage Heuer is highly functional with fine Swiss movement and a case that is water resistant to 100 meters. This watch is available in 11-caliber and 12-caliber models.
