Building on the success of its predecessor, the
TAG Heuer Carrera Date Plasma Diamant d’Avant-Garde
with pink diamonds, which captivated audiences at
Watches and Wonders
in
2023, this yellow-diamond variant marks a pioneering move. The
introduction of yellow diamonds into the
Diamant d’Avant-Garde lineup
showcases
TAG Heuer’s commitment to innovation, adding diversity and a
burst of color to
TAG Heuer timepieces.

At the
heart of this avant-garde creation is the Maison’s revolutionary Plasma
technology, which enables the delicate and sensitive growth of lab-grown
diamonds. The mastery of this elaborate process is evident in the
exquisite
4.8-carat total weight, demonstrating
TAG Heuer’s ability to
push creative boundaries and craft disruptive designs.

Diamonds
exhibit an organized configuration of carbon atoms. The perfect diamond
is a flawless, colorless specimen. This implies an absence of defects
within the atomic arrangement. However, when the objective is to create a
lab-grown diamond with color, a deliberate introduction of controlled
disorder becomes imperative.

intentional disruption can take the form of incorporating atoms from
diverse elements or introducing unique features, such as the absence of
certain carbon atoms. The
Chemical Vapor Deposition process, called at
TAG Heuer the
Plasma technology, provides a unique opportunity to
instigate these alterations during the diamond’s growth phase. What
distinguishes this cutting-edge method is its capacity to execute this
controlled disorder in a perfectly regulated environment, producing
high-quality lab-grown diamonds.

Crucially,
the Plasma technology ensures that the entire diamond is imbued with
color uniformly, achieving homogeneity throughout its structure. To
navigate this intricate process successfully and replicate specific
colors consistently across multiple batches, a specialized expertise is
indispensable.

The new yellow-diamond
TAG Heuer Carrera Date Plasma Diamant d’Avant-Garde
timepiece comes in white gold with a
36mm case. Its signature diamond
crown is a single,
1.3-carat, yellow lab-grown diamond and represents a
marvel of gem-cutting craftsmanship.

The watch
also features a
Diamant d’Avant-Garde shield elegantly adorning the
polycrystalline dial. This groundbreaking dial is achieved by growing a
vast number of diamond crystals as one, creating breathtaking
reflections and light effects in a single diamond entity. Indeed, this
is just one of the many creative applications of the Plasma technology
and was also used on previous
TAG Heuer Carrera Plasma Diamant d’Avant-Garde
timepieces.

The
2.9-carat polycrystalline dial is punctuated by
12
white gold indexes set with white baguette-cut lab-grown diamonds of
0.5
carats. The hours and minutes hands are skeletonized. At 12 o’clock,
the Swiss luxury watchmaker has placed a yellow lab-grown diamond in its
signature shield cut just below the
Carrera logo.
