Pink Watches: A Rising Trend in 2024
2024 has unexpectedly become the year of pink watches, with this rarely seen hue emerging as a favorite for watchmakers looking to break away from the more traditional blues and greens. TAG Heuer has taken this trend to heart, unveiling its latest masterpiece: the TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph in pink. Designed to evoke the vibrant energy of the Las Vegas Strip, this bold release reimagines the iconic Monaco with one of the most striking colorways in its history.
A Titanium Case for a Modern Look
The Monaco Chronograph in pink features a sandblasted, DLC-coated Grade 2 titanium case. This matte finish gives the classic square shape a monolithic and contemporary appearance, drawing attention to the standout skeleton dial. Familiar elements such as the wedge-like lugs, faceted pushers, and sapphire display caseback maintain the Monaco’s signature aesthetic while ensuring durability with 100 meters of water resistance.
A Hot Pink Skeleton Dial
The dial is where this watch truly shines. Featuring a shared layout with the 2023 skeletonized Monaco, this iteration takes a darker, moodier approach with black outer scales, glossy black bridges, and a black handset. Against this backdrop, TAG Heuer incorporates a bold hot pink that screams vibrancy, reminiscent of neon signs and ‘80s flair. By limiting the pink accents to key details like luminous stripes, subdial hands, and hour indices, the brand balances flamboyance with sophistication.
Precision Meets Style
Powering the Monaco Chronograph is the in-house TH20-00 automatic chronograph movement. With an 80-hour power reserve, 28,800 bph beat rate, and crisp chronograph actuation, it delivers exceptional performance. The view through the sapphire caseback offers a contrast to the edgy dial, showcasing traditional finishes with a pink column wheel and skeletonized rotor.
A Statement Piece for Bold Enthusiasts
The TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph in pink pairs its daring dial with a fabric-effect black strap, creating a cohesive, modern aesthetic. At 11,000 CHF, this watch is a bold choice for those ready to embrace pink’s unisex, rock-and-roll appeal.
