The Tag Heuer Grand Carrera Caliper chronograph was presented in 2008 at the Baselword fair. It is aratchet wheel chronograph that was developed on the basis of the legendary "El Primero" movement. The ingenious Caliper Rotating Scale enables precise readings of 1/10 of a second. The ultra-high frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour allows the central second hand to move in steps of 1/10 of a second and enables easy reading of the time by using a novel display method where a rotating scale – the Caliper Rotating Scale – shows the second magnified by 10; it is set through the large crown identified by a red stripe and positioned at 10 o’clock.
