Review of TAG Heuer Carrera Caliber 1887 Chronograph

The TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 1887 is a beautiful chronograph, taking the defining elements of the 1960s Carreras, and incorporating them into a state-of the-art chronograph. One by one, we see the key elements of the vintage Carreras transferred from the 1964 Carrera into the form factor required to house a modern movement.

This replica TAG Heuer Carrera Caliber 1887 chronograph looks as though it was drawn by the very same hand that drew the first Carreras, almost 50 years ago, and that is high praise indeed." "I am confident that, just as Heuer had only begun when it introduced the Carrera in 1964, TAG Heuer has only just begun with the introduction of the Carrera Calibre 1887 in 2010. This is a perfect form factor, that will do well with the full range of finishes and complications."

The TAG Heuer Carrera with Cal 1887 is presently available in some markets (Japan, UK) and should be stateside in the spring.  While no official retail price has been set, it is expected to be around $3500, one hell of of a price for a true column-wheel, integrated chronograph.
