When TAG Heuer introduced its Monaco V4 concept watch at Baselworld 2004, fans of the brand and watch industry observers in general were alight with fascination.  Here was the world's very first mechanical watch with a mechanism animated not by wheels and pinions, but by belt drives and ball bearings in the manner of a car engine.  The many challenges represented by bringing such a revolutionary movement to production reality have occupied TAG Heuer engineers and watchmakers in the ensuing years.  Despite some naysayers speculation the caliber might take years more to make it to fruition, TAG Heuer will introduce the very first Monaco V4 timepiece this year, as part of what will be a 150-piece limited edition.  Monaco V4 No. 1 will be TAG Heuer's contribution to the 2009 Only Watch auction in Monaco, the full proceeds of which are to aid research efforts for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
