From Hodinkee:

Breaking News: The TAG Heuer Mikrotimer Will Be Produced And Delivered THIS YEAR (2011) The live pictures and video we showed you of TAG Heuer's Mikrotimer Flying 1000 watch really seemed to impress you - and they should. This watch is incredible, a new configuration that allows it to beat at an unheard of 3.6million beats per hour. You guys were blown away by the speed and precision, but at the end of the day, it was still a concept watch and one commentor referred to it as "no better than those concept cars we see that look amazing but never see the light of day." Guess what? We just got word that the Mikrotimer is indeed going into production, and production THIS YEAR. TAG will make ten pieces of the Mikrotimer to be delivered in late 2011 (which, come on, is not that far away), for a price of €65,000. Part of the reason this watch will go into production this year? Well, the Mikrotimer was pre-selected for the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève in the Sports Watch Category, and in order to be considered, each entry must be in some form of production. So, now TAG is in! And honestly, compared to the other watches in the Sports category, it should be a shoe-in. If you believe the TAG Mikrotimer is deserving of a Grand Prix win, you can always vote for it yourself right here. Also, TAG did inform us the watch will also be produced in 2012, as well. Although in very low numbers (under twenty) you're looking at Mikrotimer as part of the official TAG Heuer lineup for at least 2011 and 2012. And that, my friends, is awesome.
