Not only was the TAG Heuer Monaco Replica the first ever water-resistant square watch, but it was also the first to feature an automatic-winding chronograph movement.

With its never-before-seen water-resistant square case, the Monaco’s daring and iconic design made it instantly recognizable. Developed by Heuer, the Replica Tag Heuer Calibre 11 was the world’s first automatic-winding chronograph movement.

As it evolves, the Monaco still has the revolutionary spirit that made it both infamous and famous. The complete story behind this icon is told in the new book Paradoxical Superstar, which includes archive excerpts and sketches of the designs and movements.
