Baselworld 2011 : Tag Heuer "MikroTimer 1000"
I don't know if you have watched the presentation of the MikroTimer 1000 but this is the official video :
Still a concept watch, only several minutes of power reserve and an uncertain reliability. 2 frequency engines as for the Mikrograph.
500Hz, 3.600.000 beats/hour for the chronograph : just amazing.
Enjoy the video !

Phenomenal stuff,
that's why I always loved and respected the work TAG Heuer does. Their concept watches are always fascinating and exceedingly well designed! Thanks for posting, Cheers, Filip
Wow! Maybe it needs a Lange 31 day mainspring!
Come to think of it, that would be a good use for the big spring.
On one hand, it is neat to watch...
...and I love that Tag is exploring various new concepts, but at a certain point, I find it hard to enjoy the motion of the second hand when it gets to moving this fast! Cheers, Daos
That's the first thnig I said to myself,
It's not very beautiful to watch this second hand flying like a propeler, I think the Mikrograph 1/100 th is much nicer on this point. Happy that the technical achievement takes widely over that !
That is one cool video
The watch is not bad either. It looks very good. Best regards, George
And no balance wheel
Yes Marc it will need a barrel the size of a pizza ! Another picture from Tag's website showing there is no balance wheel :...
Sort of...
I believe that "perforated aluminum plate" serves the role of the balance in the "high-speed" part of the watch a
Conceptually intriguing...
...and when they can fit 1,000 readable graduated indices around the outer track of the dial it might be useful. Cheers, pplater.
Accuracy?
But is it accurate? A hand moving around a dial in 1000 steps is one thing. Splitting a second into 1000 equal parts is another. I couldn't find any details of what looks like a palletless anchor? Anyone?
