What Makes This Watch Special?

The watch combines high-tech materials with cutting-edge regulating technology. You get Swiss precision engineering in a package built for extreme conditions.

The Heart: Calibre TH20-61 Movement

Key Movement Features:

  • Automatic winding system
  • TH-Carbonspring oscillator technology
  • Anti-magnetic properties
  • Shock-resistant construction
  • Superior timing stability

The TH-Carbonspring oscillator represents TAG Heuer's latest breakthrough. This ultra-light component resists magnetic fields and shock better than traditional materials.

Design That Commands Attention

The Dial

The forged carbon dial features a spiral-engraved pattern. This design takes inspiration from the TH-Carbonspring geometry inside the movement.

At 6 o'clock, you'll find the flying tourbillon. This mesmerizing complication rotates continuously, showcasing the movement's precision.

The dial includes:

  • Minimalist subdials for clean readability
  • Facetted black gold hands
  • White SuperLumiNova coating for low-light visibility

The Case

  • Grey markings for tonal finish

The pushers and crown also use forged carbon. This creates a cohesive, stealth-like appearance throughout the watch.

Why Carbon Fiber Matters

Carbon fiber brings three key advantages to watchmaking:

Weight Reduction Your wrist won't feel fatigued during extended wear. The material weighs significantly less than steel or gold.

Durability Forged carbon resists scratches, impacts, and daily wear better than traditional materials. You can wear this watch during sports activities without concern.

Modern Aesthetics The black carbon finish creates a contemporary, technical appearance. This appeals to collectors who prefer modern design over classical styling.

Performance Under Pressure

TAG Heuer designed this watch for extreme conditions. Whether you're racing, diving, or traveling, the timepiece maintains accuracy.

The anti-magnetic properties protect against electronic interference. Your smartphone, laptop, and other devices won't affect timekeeping.

Shock resistance handles impacts from sports activities. The movement continues running accurately even after significant jolts.

Tachymeter Function Explained

The carbon tachymeter bezel measures speed over distance. Here's how it works:

Start the chronograph when you begin measuring. Stop it after traveling exactly one kilometer or one mile. The chronograph hand points to your average speed on the tachymeter scale.

This feature proves useful for motorsports enthusiasts and pilots who need quick speed calculations.

Limited Production Details

TAG Heuer produces exactly 50 pieces of model CBU5091.FT6305. Each watch receives individual numbering and comes with exclusive documentation.

Limited production ensures exclusivity. You won't encounter another owner wearing the same timepiece frequently.

Who Should Buy This Watch?

This timepiece suits several collector profiles:

Technology Appreciators The TH-Carbonspring oscillator represents cutting-edge horological development. You get to wear the latest Swiss innovation.

Collectors Seeking Exclusivity With only 50 pieces available, this watch offers true rarity. Your collection gains a unique centerpiece.

Modern Design Lovers The all-black carbon construction appeals to contemporary tastes. Classical gold and steel watches feel outdated by comparison.

  • Extremely limited production (50 pieces)
  • Advanced proprietary technology
  • Strong brand recognition
  • Contemporary design appeal
  • COSC certification

The combination of scarcity and technical advancement creates favorable conditions for value retention.

Tiger Eye & Gold Sunray Dual Time Watch By Dennison

Dennison Tiger Eye & Gold Sunray Dual Time watch. Features Tiger’s Eye dial, Swiss Ronda 1032 dual movements, gold PVD case, sapphire crystal, and Epsom leather strap.


The Dennison ALD Dual Time brings a rare combination of materials and craftsmanship.

The main dial is cut from natural Tiger’s Eye.
Its surface shifts with the light, giving you a different view each time you look at it.

At 3 o’clock, a golden sunray subdial shows a second time zone.
This detail adds both function and beauty to the design.

The watch reflects Dennison’s tradition of creating original and precise timepieces.

Dimensions

  • 37 ~ 35.6 mm

Questions for You

Discover the Lorenz Baumer Daguerreotype Cloud Watch in 750 white gold. A 38mm Nuage timepiece with a daguerreotype dial, skeleton movement, and customizable strap.


The Nuage Watch by Lorenz Baumer combines horology with the earliest form of photography.

Its dial features a daguerreotype – an art form from the 19th century – where clouds appear subtly, giving the piece a personal and timeless identity.

  • Power Reserve: 38 hours

  • Frequency: 28,800 vph (4Hz)

  • Functions: Hours and Minutes

  • Strap: Customizable

  • Personalized cloud imagery brings art and watchmaking together.

  • A skeletonized movement with 38 hours of power reserve keeps tradition alive in a modern form.

  • Custom strap options let you adapt it to your style.

Ask Yourself

  • What does owning a timepiece that blends photography and watchmaking mean to you?

  • How would you personalize the daguerreotype dial to reflect your story?

Each dial is carved from natural Malachite or Tiger’s Eye.

  • Malachite offers deep green tones with flowing patterns

  • Tiger’s Eye brings golden-brown layers with shifting light

  • It makes every piece one of a kind

  • It gives a timeless link between the earth and timekeeping

Look closely at your dial. The patterns you see were shaped by nature over millions of years.

It fits formal occasions and casual wear.
It is designed to stay with you every day, from morning to night.
