Tag Heuer – Mikrotimer

High end watches rarely push functionality and focus more on design and details.  Tag Heuer is looking to change that with the release of their Mikrotimer.  These prototype from the Swiss watch maker is the first automatic chronograph that is capable of recording 1/1000th accuracy.  The watch beats as a blazing fast 360,000 beats per seconds that’s 100 times faster the second fastest movement from Zenith.  There is no word on production, but expect to pay a hefty price for beauty and accuracy.
