TAG Heuer celebrated the launch from the new Silverstone Automatic re-edition by holding a launch event yesterday in the Mclaren Technical Center outdoors based in london. The big event also marked the 25th anniversary from the relationship between Mclaren and TAG Heuer, that was a great excuse to obtain Lewis Hamilton into Alain Prost's 1986 Mclaren-TAG F1 vehicle.
The connection is a great one for tag heuer replica to strengthen the hyperlinks it had with lots of the truly amazing F1 motorists from the seventies- just check out the roll-call of world champion motorists which have been a part of McLaren over that twenty-five year period- Prost, Lauda, Senna, Hakkinen and Hamilton all winning world titles at McLaren.
However, because this is a wrist replica watch blog, the actual star from the show is not the F1 vehicle or even the world champion- it is the new Heuer Silverstone Automatic re-edition, which TAG Heuer released yesterday. The important thing points around the new replica watch are:
TAG Heuer did a fantastic job using the new Silverstone Automatic- its certainly in keeping with the initial. In my eyes, its too in keeping with the initial, when i prefer more contemporary understanding of old designs. However, one only needs to consider the success from the first Carrera re-edition and also the relative failure from the TAG Heuer Autavia to determine which i seem to be within the minority.
The caseback is particularly awesome, using the red Heuer emblem around the rotor and also the Cotes de Geneve finishing- its great to determine replica watch companies having to pay focus on the decoration from the actions- sure, its only appearance, nevertheless its a pleasant detailed touch.
Of these two colours I favor nowhere version, although I am keen to determine the brown version within the flesh to determine if the finish around the dial is comparable to the Fume hue of the famous Calibre 12 Heuer Silverstone Automatic. No red Silverstone Automatic this time around, that is a shame.
It will likely be interesting to determine the response towards the new Silverstone Automatic. Up to now, the re-edition series has centered on the well-known Heuer types of the seventies- Monaco, Autavia and Carrera. I expect the replica watch is going to be preferred among a distinct segment segment of TAG Heuer and Heuer enthusiasts, however it remains seen if the replica watch may have broad attract purchasers and also require never witnessed the initial vintage Heuer Silverstone Automatic.
The hollywatches Timepieces come in stores in Q1 2010 in a cost which feels more sensible compared to Heuer Monaco 40th anniversary re-edition, that was almost 50% greater than the suggested selling cost from the Silverstone Automatic.
