In a world were many love to hate, it’s refreshing to see a video were Tag Heuer is very well presented and respected. I’ve always liked their timepieces, especially the 41mm Carrera Day Date with blue dial. Thanks for another outstanding video!!

Thank you Roberto, you are very kind. I could not agree more, too much hate in this world today, often from those who have never experienced the watch in question, in person, or have ever made a film a tenth as good, even if this was obviously not a masterpiece. Best regards, TGV

No hate, but huge disappointment. To me it feels like someone took one of the best and most amazing watch brands of all time and turned it into a dull and boring fashion brand, while all they need to do is what they did with Monaco, reissue amazing watches from the 70s and change nothing.

I almost bought the gray dial one for $1750. I regret not pulling the trigger. I hate all this “in house” bs. I prefer the old 2824 models.

It’s a shame that Tag is largely ignored by watch enthusiasts - ok so they are on the pricey side but they’re very well made and nicely finished - personally the Carrera 3 hand 39mm is a grail watch for me and has been for decades - nice to see one of the 3 watch channels with the biggest followings take a look at a Tag :)

For many enthusiasts the issue with TAG Heuer is not so much to do with the watches, but with the ‘TAG’ bit. Pre-TAG watches and re-releases without ‘TAG’ on the dial are much admired among enthusiasts. Heuer is the ‘better’ name, the part with the long history and post-war motor racing heritage. But then I presume the vast majority of TAG Heuer buyers are not core watch enthusiasts and talk about their “TAGs”, so the branding is the branding.

I think the opposite is true compered to Omega and Breitling some watch snobs maybe think they are a slightly less premium brand because they have quite a few watches that cost £1500 or less.

@@jimjudy2489 I’m familiar with that watch - it’s very nice and Certina is underrated as a brand - however, the same could be said for the Tissot Gemtleman Powermatic 80 - a lot of watch for the money - I bought one as a substitute for the Tag (at around 1/4 the price) but you know what they say about substitutes - they never really scratch the itch do they?

The reason why Tag is looked down upon by watch enthusiasts is because of 2 reasons. 1 they’re sold in dept stores like Macys and they feel it cheapens the brand. Even though Rolex was sold in Costco until a few years ago. 2. They primarily use ETA or Selitta movements instead of in house and feel they over charge for watches with some cheaper movements.

My first Tag Heuer was a three hand Autavia. I couldn't believe how quality the watch felt on wrist. People should give Tag Heuer a chance.

While I too like the look of the chronograph version better myself, I really have to respect the fact they went with the three-hander. It's so rare these days to see a movie character wearing a classic looking watch and I think they did a perfect job with this casting.

As an Italian, every time TGV speaks in my language I shout a “grandissimo!”🇮🇹✌️ Love the watch, but I wish they made it in a 36mm. That gorgeous dial and bracelet combination would have been such a cool classic understated capolavoro.

I own and absolutely love my 41mm blue Tag Heuer Caliber 5 with date. Bought it when my son was born five years ago and it is still today dead accurate. Every time I meet a watchmaker they all point out what an underrated watch with superb price quality ratio it is.

I remember seeing Tag Heuers in the Service Merchandise catalog when I was a kid (do the math, kiddies), and feeling absolutely hopeless at their $300 to 400 price tags, which would be pretty moderate now. Those things are freaking beautiful.

In the store they were right by the cologne where I bought my first bottle of Polo. Couldn't afford the Tag, but could wear some Polo cologne.

Great content, very well presented. My first "Good" watch was a Tag 1000 I'd purchased in Hong Kong while stationed there in the late 80's. Tag has always had a special spot in my heart.

Great channel, with extremely funny intros thrown in, I just bought a watch off the back of one of your reviews recently, keep up the great work.

To me it’s an odd choice for a character like “6” but I’m glad to see Tag Heuer getting some love. My first mechanical automatic “real” watch was a Tag Professional 2000 so I’ll always have a soft spot for them. I don’t think any mechanical watch would have survived the first seven minutes of the movie honestly… but hey Hollywood 😉

Dude. Your videos are absolutely flawless. Sublime. Well done.

What an incredible overview and analysis of not just the Tag watch but also cinema. Very impressive video, you should be proud!

Oh man, thank you for reviewing this one! I think TAG Heuer is going in a good direction recently. The red dial Carrera Chronograph looks excellent and hope you can get your hands on that!

I've bought this Carrera 39mm blue dial last friday. It is my first Swiss automatic and first "luxury watch" I'm a big fan of motorsport and I was interested in wrist watches since I was a kid. Im watching you for few years now and I learned a lot from your channel. Thank You so much.

Chris Evans' Hamilton Boulton in this movie was pretty sick as well! My father in-law has this same Tag Heuer Carrera. Awesome work as always TGV!

That Carrera has the same problem as my lovely 39mm Certina DS-4 small seconds. 39mm is fine, but the thin bezel makes the dial look oversize and makes the watch feel much larger than it really is. I prefer a smaller watch, 38mm so I should be fine with a 39. But when the dial is so large it feels like going up a scale.

I love how you showcase the many great timepieces in cinema. Also I find it refreshing that you talk about older movies and actors who weren’t from this whole “Tiktok Era”. Great video even if I am s lot late to the party. thanks

I really like the look of the watch (albeit it looks surprisingly similar to my original dressy Seiko 5 I have on a leather strap, with the exception of the date). I've not seen the movie but I do agree from what you said about it, it seems like the chronograph would perhaps have been a bit of a better suited choice. However as I always say where what you want when you want it's your wrist! Great video about the watch and good mini review of the movie. Much appreciated as always sir 👍

Excellent video as always TGV. I’ve seen The Grey Man and thought it was very good, very high octane action, I was exhausted by the end of it! Loving the Carrera, but I’m in the look out for something with a smaller case size. What are your thoughts on Christopher Ward? I’ve seen they are releasing a 36mm version of the Sealander which looks an excellent buy.

What watch would be a better deal for the price? Thanks for the recommendations in advance

Just a question: Im looking at buying either: 39mm version or 41mm Twin-time but Im on the fence. Its my first 'luxury watch' so thats why I'm going for a day use yet classic design. The 39mm is £500 cheaper but is it too small? The 41mm equivalent has the date window at 3pm and I dont like that but the twin-time version is £500 but with the date window at 6 (like the 39mm). Will I really notice the difference between 39 and 41 enthuse very similar Carreras?

Hugo is just hysterical...

Always a delight.,thanks 😊

Love these watches in movies videos! Gosling is always great fun to see what he chooses to wear in his films and personal life (both wardrobe and watches)

One of the best watch brands indeed. Big fan of Tag

As always, thanks for the video

I must admit my attraction to the Carrera. The black dial chronograph is appealing, especially in a 38mm.

I really enjoy this movie: IMHO, it didn't get the success it deserves: Great Ryan Gosling performance, unusual Chis Evans character, and Amazing Ana de Armas (like in the Bond movie). Now, I'm always hitting on pause to check the watches in any movie: I just can't help it. where is that coming from ?! 😏

Great video, it’s a good looking timepiece. Thanks 👍

I think it’s perfect and it one of the few tags I’ve thought of adding over the years .

Ahoy hoy from the correct side of the pond, 😉. I am new to your channel and I am slowly working through the back catalogue. I absolutely loving the positive and informative shows covering every budget..and without the usual watch snobbery! Ive been lucky enough to own some very nice watches over the years, that have included 10s of Tags, but now I want to slim down my watch collection to 3 or 4 watches I will keep forever. And I want Tag to be one of them. So which one should I buy? Best and worst Tags? Best decade for Tag? You may already have that video about this so I will deep dive. Many thanks. Peace.

I received a Carrera Chronograph with the blue dial and steel bracelet as a gift from my wife in March. It has the Heuer 02 movement. I love the watch and think it's a good value given the quality and beauty. I know of the hate TAG receives from the watch collectors but I don't care about status among watch snobs. I have watches ranging from the simple (but great) Seiko 5 automatic to a Kermit Submariner, but love wearing the TAG Chronograph. The blue dial and complications are just fun to admire during the day.

I've loved TAG Heuer since I first got to handle and try on my Dad's Carrera GMT (and older model of the wbn201A) Never quite understood the stigma against the brand, especially when they have such amazing designs as the Monaco.

I've slacked on the channel recently. But I'm glad to see you and Hugo are still getting along so well Tristano 🤣. Great video as always.

Good morning TGV! I personally haven't seen The Gray Man yet, but I can't help but notice that Ryan Gosling has exceptionally good taste in wristwatches. And TAG Heuer has been doing a lot right again in recent years :-) Especially with the return to history and the classic models, TAG Heuer is stepping out of the shadow of the almighty Monaco. I find the Carrera line in particular very appealing and classy. Of course you are right, there is strong competition with Tudor and the BB36, although I almost consider the Carrera to be the better watch for all occasions. Best regards!

You forget to mention the Hamilton American Classic Boulton worn by Chris Evans, which for me was perfectly chosen considering his all round attire. A film I personally really enjoyed. A bit of a throwback to the 90’s action film which had me laughing quite a few times too!

You have made me love my sole Tag even more.

Really nice to see a Tag.

Had a crush on it in the the duty free in Taiwan 3 years ago - almost bought it because of it’s pleasing timeless design - today I’d rather go for the vintage “Rolex Airking” for almost the same money … little bit too massive (especially the case height) for my actual taste - but still a watch I like in general

That intro is the best intro on youtube

My first watch was the carrera sport chronograph 160 LE. It's kinda big (44mm). but it fits me well. Wish they made one in 40-42mm

You had to go 150% on this video... I love Ryan's movies and he's one of the few left that can actually play good. Might even get a Carrera for my wedding

Few weeks ago I came across with the TAG HEUER Carrera in the Bucherer store in Berlin. The funny coincident: On the way to bucherer I passed the "Zoo Palast" Theater where where hundrets fans waited at the red carpet for Ryan Gosling for the premier of "Grey Man". Till this monent I didn't know anything about the movie. Back to the watch: I saw the Carrera live and wow...what an elegant yet sporty and dynamic looking design and individual look. I was so impressed to see such a watch in a world hommages of hommages of hommages. I think this brand deserves much more respect.

Anyone who loves the Grand Seiko or Rolex Oyster dial/indices design has to at least like the Carrera dial. If not you’re just venting your Tag hatred on to the Carrera model for the sport of it. It’s a classic watch now.

I owned the day-date version of this watch some years ago. If it wasn't for the size (41mm), it would still be on my wrist today. Finishing was superb. Design was clean, classic, and sporty. I think the 39mm size is better, but TGV, I agree, a 36mm would be a capolavoro! ;) Love that TAG Heuer is getting some respect again. Great brand even if it had some years in the wilderness.

11:20 As much as I really love watching 'The American/Very Private Gentleman", I always cringe at Clooney's professional gunsmith/assassin using wildly inaccurate MPH for muzzle velocity, mixing up the windage/elevation turrets, & calling a Ruger Mini 14 an "M-14." Oh & "exploding, mercury tipped" 5.56 lol.

Really enjoyed this TGV, thank you. I have the Tag ‘Bourne’ and can vouch for it’s quality and ruggedness… and possibly the best bracelet ever engineered.
