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.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEAUTIFUL WATCH!!, June 23, 2005

I bought this for my husband for our 33rd anniversary. He loved it. Origionally I purchased the "Formula One". Although it was a nice watch, it just appeared a little too sporty. I sent it back and purchased the "Indy 500" instead. Although still sporty, it has an air of class. The stainless bezel and the white irridescent chronographs really stand out on the black background. The racing rings on the face also set it apart from the "Formula One". It is a couple of hundred dollars more, but you do get what you pay for. It is a very easy watch to set. Even I could do it. The info booklet was a breeze to follow. All in all, if you want an upper-end sports watch, with a little bit of class and pizzaz, you just can't beat this TAG. Oh, and EVERYBODY tells my husband what a great looking watch he has.
I would think that almost any man would love to wear this watch. By the way, it came with two warranty cards. One from TAG, and the other from the seller. Hope this was helpful to you!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, December 28, 2005

FERRARI BOY (MICHIGAN) - See all my reviews

This watch is amazing, it glitters, shines, everything you could want from a watch worth $1,000 retail. It is true about this watch being a limited edition with only 2500 or so units made. I don't know the age range that this watch is marketed for, but I'm 20yrs old, and I can assure anyone looking at this watch whose shaky about shelling out the extra money, you won't regret it.

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's CAC111B.BA0850 Indy 500 Watch (Watch)

I was always skeptical about purchasing sub-$1k watches, however this model from Tag Heuer is worth every cent and I honestly would have expected such quality and features from a watch 3x its price! Its got a Large polished face with black dial and everything flows really well with this watch. I definitely reccomend the Polished Face and stainless band. There is a previous model which has a Black Face and it looks rather cheap. Amazon had the best price I could find and my other Tag Heuer has been sitting in its case since I love my new watch more even though it was 1/6th the price. If you have any doubts, get rid of them because this IS the best watch I have seen looks/quality wise for the money!
