Building on its deep-rooted expertise in chronograph movements, TAG Heuer presents the Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph F1®. This new timepiece revives the split-seconds chronograph function—a complex timing feature deeply rooted in TAG Heuer's history of precision timekeeping. For over a century, the brand has mastered the technical essence of this highly complex chronograph function. As early as 1916, TAG Heuer introduced the Mikrosplit, a stopwatch capable of simultaneously measuring different independent time intervals with an accuracy of 1/100th of a second. This early achievement laid a solid foundation for a series of subsequent timing instruments, from stopwatches used for timing Olympic Games in the early 20th century to dashboard timers used in the intense environment of motorsports racing, all demonstrating the brand's relentless pursuit of precision.
In the 1960s, the TAG Heuer 11.402 split-seconds stopwatch became a trusted timing tool in the track pit area, helping teams like Scuderia Ferrari secure crucial moments with precise timing. In the 1990s, the brand's quartz split-seconds chronograph won the favor of legendary racing drivers such as Ayrton Senna, Gerhard Berger, and Michael Schumacher.
