One of the things I really like about this whole watch thing is that I can still be surprised. And when I spotted this post from the truly excellent Calibre 11, one of the leading resources for all things TAG Heuer and Heuer. * Now, I’m not claiming that I’m all over the Monaco — after all, the model turns 50 this year, and there’s been quite a bit of variation. But I did not expect to see a digital Monaco. Except*then I did. This watch,*with the very Swiss name of the Monaco Sixty Nine (in reference to the 1969 debut of the original Monaco), isn’t just a digital watch – it’s reversible. One side boasts a conventional manual wind, the other a digital module. It’s an ingenious concept, and well executed.*Well played TAG Heuer.* Read the full, excellent and extensive story on Calibre 11.*
