The TAG Heuer Story

TAG Heuer traces its roots to the small Swiss village of St-Imier where, in 1860, a watchmaker named Edouard Heuer opened his first shop. His vision was to create remarkable timepieces that pushed the envelope of innovation and precision. The company's reputation grew, and Heuer's first patent for a chronograph mechanism in 1882 was followed by a long list of achievements: the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of a second, the first dashboard stopwatch for race cars, the first miniature electronic timekeeping device accurate to 1/1000th of a second, and the first automatic movement with a microrotor, to name just a few.

Over the years, Heuer's reputation for gold-standard precision earned the company the privilege of providing official timing services for a number of world-class competitive sporting events, including the Olympic Games, the FIS Ski World Cup, and the FIA Formula 1 World Championships. To this day, TAG Heuer maintains a close association with the world of competitive sports and enjoys a devoted following among sports celebrities and enthusiasts. In 1985, Heuer joined the TAG (Techniques D'Avant-Garde) group, and the TAG Heuer name and logo were created. Now one of the most recognized and sought-after watch brands in the world, TAG Heuer continues its reputation of innovative design and technological excellence, creating prestigious timepieces that are always at the cutting edge of precision, reliability and style.

A very elegant watch, well built. I'm sure it'll last forever. However, it's got a huge design problem that renders it almost unusable - you cant see the hands to tell the time. Look at the photo again - this watch has white hands on a white face. No contrast! I have to turn on a bright light in the room and shine it on the watch so I can just make out the time. Come on, Heuer, I would expect more from one of the finest timepiece mfgs on the planet. Black outline hands would have quickly fixed this. But white on white? Bottom line: it's unusable, and is going back to seller for a black face (that uses the same white hands)

Wanted a Tag that was priced just right, but yet had all the classic appearance of an authentic luxury watch. Read some reviews on the Amazon Approved sellers who carry a similar product, appears there are some questions as to the authenticity of some of there products. This is a 100% authentic Tag, took it to an authorized jeweller to be sure, who also resized the bracelet for free! The Serial number is on this watch.

My Husband didn't love it... It looked great in the picture, he needed a "sport" watch, but it is a smaller and a bit lighter than expected. He likes big watches and we had to return it.
