Typically, chronograph pushers involve a combination of levers, springs and cams that are held in place with varying degrees of precision. TAG Heuer has introduced most of that with the TH80-00 caliber, after five years of development between the TAG Heuer LAB innovation department and movement maker Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier. It replaces the traditional structure with two flexible bistable components — shape-shifting parts that stabilize between positions — produced via high-precision LIGA manufacturing, a precision manufacturing technique that involves lithography, electroforming, and molding.

The result? Sharper playback that does not degrade critically. According to TAG, the 10,000th press appears identical to the first.

You can get two versions: polished titanium with blue accents or black diamond-like carbon (DLC) with red accents. The dial is made of clear acrylic, so you can watch the matching mechanism in action.
