Tag Heuer Kirium

The TAG Heuer Kirium is not the largest watch around. With variations of the model measuring 28, 37, and 39-milimeters, the watch sticks to a moderate size. All models are equipped with a bezel that can be rotated in both directions. Furthermore, the watch features a domed and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Offered with the original Kirium model was an option between polished or brushed stainless steel. Currently, some models feature a mixture of these two choices. Since gold watches were not in fashion during the 1990s, the Kirium timepiece is exclusively available in silver tones. Few individuals are aware that the Kirium can optionally be equipped with a vulcanized rubber band or a calf leather strap as opposed to the characteristic steel bracelet. All options ensure high wearing comfort and exude and luxurious ambiance.

The Kirium is specifically designed for the world of sports, hence the motto “Shaped by the Spirit of Sport”. In order to further publicize the new timepiece, Tag Heuer turned to the prominence of many top athletes. As a result, the tennis ace Boris Becker and other athletes including Marion Jones, Colin Jackson und Marie-Jo Perec have been photographed sporting the luxurious timepiece.

Not only do famous athletes understand the dazzling quality of the Kirium but also prominent movie stars who take advantage of sporting the superior watch around their wrists. The 1990 TAG Heuer Kirium (Ref. WL1113) was in fact featured in the cinema blockbuster “Moneyball” strapped around the wrist of Brad Pitt. Furthermore, the actor Colin Farrell can be witnessed wearing the TAG Heuer Kirium F1 in the film “The Recruit”.

TAG Heuer has released watch models in addition to the classic Kirium. The Kirium Automatic Chronometer is powered by a robust automatic calibre and is comprised of a typical diameter measuring 37-milimeter. Furthermore, TAG Heuer chose to incorporate the classical scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and rotatable bezel. The black dial displays Arabic numerals and luminescent indices and is enclosed by a stainless steel case.

Another popular model is the TAG Heuer Kirium Ti5, which was launched in the year 2000. It was the first introduction of a watch that is polished with a special titanium alloy named Ti5. The compound was developed in a laboratory and in close cooperation with the McLaren Formula One team.

A year following, TAG Heuer launched the Kirium F1. Created for clients with a passion for motorsports, the Formula 1 Kirium is highlighted by technical features. The modern analogue chronograph with digital functions measures time accurately to 1/100th of a second.

The exceptional Kirium collection is relatively easy to discover on the second-hand market and provides an affordable entry piece into the diverse world of TAG Heuer.
