In screaming defiance of the current wristwatch market, Tag Heuer releases its most expensive watch ever. The all-platinum cased Monaco V4 watch carries a price tag several times higher than that of your average Tag. The “Monaco” name carries over from the shape of the case that matches the iconic line of Tag Heuer watches, but the similarities to the rest of the Tag Heuer watch collection end there. Instead, the Monaco V4 is a tour de force of all that the company can accomplish in creating a truly unique and sophisticated watch movement that is meant to emulate the look and construction of an automobile engine. This is the only watch in the world to use miniature transmission belts (rubber with a tiny steel wire in them) instead of certain pinion wheels in the movement. There are also very small micro-ball bearings uniquely used in the movement, as well as quad mainspring barrels on the rear of the watch that give it the “V4” part of the name. Probably the most unique thing about this watch is the special automatic winding mechanism that uses a solid tungsten rod that moves up and down in a linear path as opposed to the half circle oscillating weight you are used to
