I don’t currently own a Tag, but thought the general concensus was that they were ‘ok’, watches but probably not worth their price (hence discounts are commonly available)?

I was browsing Hackett Watches and was very taken by the 18ct white gold Carrera Calibre 360 watch that he has listed on there.

Can anyone tell me about this watch - i think it is a limited edition piece with a special movement, but is it a genuine collectible watch (that might hold its value) or just a nice looking but ‘non-special’ one?!

TH make some cool watches.

They get loads of grief I think because they are a very well known brand and not a Rolex of course.

It’s a 1/100th second chronograph that is mighty precise for a mechanical watch... They were only ever made in tiny numbers as a ltd edition, I imagine service would be at TH only and potentially expensive.

Watches are a crap investment, if you like it, it’s much more interesting than sub or whatever for the same money.

Thanks for this.

I never purchase watches as an ‘investment’ (so only choose things I like the look of!) and don’t expect to sell any of the watches I buy. But obviously don’t want to pay over the odds for anything just in case!

Just found this with a vid showing the chronograph, very very cool IMHO.

They were $16000 new, there is one other for sale on Chrono24 at £600ish more so the price seems in the ball park.
