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.

Bought the watch for a birthday present for my self. I have worn it every day for over two years and it still looks as good as the day I bought it. I am a watch junkie, but this one has made me a one watch man.

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's WAB1111.BA0801 2000 Aquaracer Watch (Watch)

Just got this watch and I'm very happy with it. The first thing I noticed is that the face is not really white - as the picture indicates. It's more silver, which I think looks a bit nicer. Given that the watch's movement is quartz, I was less worried about its functions and timekeeping ability. That said, I have checked it against the atomic clock and in one week, it's one second fast. So, it should pick up one minute a year...which is effectively perfect. The documentation indicates the battery will need to be replaced every 18 months, which I'll use as an opportunity to have my jeweler give it a once over. i wear this watch every day and am not gentle with it - already in a week, it's hit several doorways and corners. Not a visible scratch. I expect it to last quite a long time.

I recently purchased this watch to wear everyday, along with my Omega. Impressions are good. It is well built and functions smoothly. Subjective feel of the watch puts it just right behind my Omega (but a few steps back of my Rolex and Patek). Feels good on my wrist (not too heavy or big) and is easy to read even though a black dial face would increase quick readability. The polished metal may prove to show scratches more easily than a brushed surface, but I bought this watch as daily user and expect some signs of wear over time. Overall; a good watch at a decent price.
