Don’t crack under pressure…The Grand Carrera by Tag Heuer…. Our watch of the week
October 7, 2016
For the Formula 1 enthusiasts we bring a watch brand made famous by its association with the F1 championships. Worn by legends Schumacher, Senna, Button, Andretti and Hamilton to name a few the Tag Heuer brand has and still is a very cool sports watch to own.
The competition for premium luxury watch brands is tough though and Tag Heuer has maintained their presence and reputation by designing a broad range of sport and dress watches for all occasions whether male or female. While the looks are important the engine so to speak of each timepiece equally matters and with this in mind the premium models have been fitted with “calibre” movements.
This weeks watch, a Grand Carrera RS, perfectly blends aesthetics with accuracy via its Calibre 17 automatic chronometer that can be seen in action via a glass display back. The silver dial displays the chronograph functions in an unusual but very cool fashion with contrasting red tips on the sub dials.
Having just been fully serviced, polished and now with a 12 month mechanical warranty it is a great example of why to consider a pre-owned luxury watch. Although recently discontinued and now a collectors watch when new in 2007 this retailed at around £5600 and is now available at around half price and in a condition that reflects the day it left the Tag Heuer dealership. Would make a fantastic Christmas or birthday gift for any F1 or motoring enthusiasts!

Also, einen Flug gebucht nach Edinburgh und kurzer Hand auf die Insel geflogen.Ganz idyllisch ein Stück hinter Glasgow an einem See gelegen hat sich die Firma "Border Reivers" versteckt und auf hochwertige Autos spezialisiert.Der Inhaber - Tom Fitzsimmons ist mehr als freundlich uns hilfsbereit und versucht seinen Kunden fast jeden Wunsch von den Augen abzulesen, hat uns spät nachts noch zum Essen ausgeführt und kurz vor Mitternacht nach zurück nach Glasgow gefahren. Wir konnten in einer blitzsauberen Halle das Objekt der Begierde in aller Ruhe inspizieren (und alle anderen Auto's auch noch) und durften danach eine Probefahrt durch die Highlands absolvieren.Sämtliche Sonderwünsche und Umbauten wurden durch Border Reivers noch erledigt und gegen Entgelt wurde der Wagen noch bis vor die Haustüre in Deutschland geliefert. Ein wirklich perfekter und freundlicher Service der nicht selbstverständlich ist.Many thanks Tom, it was great to make business with you!Thomas Eder aus Bayern

As per the add, I fell in love with the car which was offered by Border Reivers, So a flight booked flown to Scotland. Quite a bit away from idyllic Glasgow situated on a lake,is where the company "Border Reivers" hides and specializes in high quality cars. The owner - Tom Fitzsimmons is more than friendly to us and very helpful. Caters to his customers every whim. He gave us late night run to Glasgow for a meat, shortly before midnight after back after it. We were in a spotless showroom, full of the objects of desire. He gave us peace to inspect and allowed us to undergo a test drive through the highlands afterwards. We agreed the purchase and some special requests and modifications to be carried out which were done by Border Reivers. We paid for the car and it was delivered to our doorstep in Munich, Germany in a covered transporter. A truly perfect and friendly service which is not self-evident. Many thanks Tom, it was great to do business with you!ThomasEder aus BayernThomas Eder Racing his Porsche at the Nurburgring
