The Kirium has a “Liquid Metal” look, with the case, bracelet and bezel all flowing into a single shape, as if they were carved from the same block of steel. The bracelet was a return to simplicity , with its inter-locking links being far less complicated than the 6000-Series bracelet. The dial design was very similar to the 4000, with even the “Professional 200m” placement and script looking almost identical. In place of the baton-shaped hour markers of the 4000 were circular lume markers, shaped like drops of liquid metal. The Kirium was not a large watch, either in diameter or thickness. The largest case was 39.8mm (Men’s size), All models came with a newly designed unidirectional bezel 34.3 mm and domed Sapphire crystal, which gives the dial a more interesting feel than the flat glass used on other series of the day. Two finishes were offered on the case and bezel- either brushed or polished steel. Advertising for the Kirium emphasised both the connection to sport and the “liquid metal” design, with the tag line “Shaped by the Spirit of Sport“. To publicise the new range more broadly, there was also a series of fashion shoots by Herb Ritts that featured a range of athletes, including Boris Becker, Marion Jones, Colin Jackson and Marie-Jo Perec. The Kirium also featured in a series of print ads in TAG Heuer’s “Inner Strength” campaign, again using the likes of Becker. In the mid- 2000s, TAG Heuer used the tag line “What are you made of?“, with the Kirium being shown with drivers from the McLaren- Mercedes Formula 1 team, such as David Coulthard. At the heart of the Kirium range is the 3-hand automatic watch, perhaps the most elegant Kirium thanks to its clear, simple dial and thin case. The first watch models featured the traditional TAG Heuer “Mercedes” hands, and circular hour-markers, except at 6, 9 and 12 o’clock where applied numerals were employed.
