Apparently they dont know where to price it yet. About £5000 has been talked of. Another annoying factor, the watch does not have a date.

Nice looking piece of kit though.

Excellent.......

Top video aswel, right up my street.

Loved the linear slide as opposed to the rotary weight, and the little belts (looked like cambelts ) Skelital face ang glass back, inovative design, that is just the bollox........Pity its a TagHeuer...

Breitling........HEADS UP......Your turn.

I want one - but will the PPP be available straight away.


I din't think that V4 would mean that the Pistons are arranged in a V formation.

What happens if you miss the 60K Belt change - Does it go Bang and you're warranty is Void .

V Interesting piece of Kit .

Yeah but if it's got Pistons and Belts it just has to be modded - Maybe replace the ball-races with Ally ones - there must be something that can be done to Improve it (Other than replacing the Strap ).

I agree, the strap is pooh.

Improve it.....Hmmm.

Chronographs, date window, some sort of inovative pressure release valve, a new never seen before permanent back light, full sized sweep finger rather than the small hard to see chrono, and cut the price by 75%.

Yeah, that should do it.

Whatever your thoughts on TH's - that is a serious piece of engineering and design. Very impressive.
