As far as cool watch names go, this watch has one of the coolest: I mean, the head of the viper it doesn't get much more rock than that. And while the story behind the name is less viper lounge and more viper observatory, the watch itself easily lives up to its rock star name. It's big, it's blue, it's made of ceramic and has a freaking tourbillon in it. What more could you want? Not much. Even the strap, alligator backed with rubber, is cool. And while the watch is hardly an object lesson in subtlety, I was surprised at how well the whole package works together no single element overpowers the others. I was expecting this watch to be all about that blue ceramic case, but the blue is refreshingly muted, which makes for a watch I would easily wear, even though I'm not a rock starTAG Heuer's Carrera Calibre 02 Tourbillon Tte de Vipere Australian pricing and availabilityTAG Heuer's Carrera Calibre 02 Tourbillon Tte de Vipere, $26,750, available at TAG Heuer boutiques.
