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 Simple, reliable, nice-looking watch, August 22, 2009

Bought this watch four months ago from amazon for 770$. The price is higher now, but I'd say that it's worth up to 1000$. It looks better than the picture on this site suggests. In the picture, the dial is a light pastel blue, but in reality the dial is a much darker(and much more attractive) shade of blue. The contrast of the gold and blue, which originally attracted me to the watch, remains a lot of fun to look at. However, the bright coloring makes the watch tough to pull off with formal dress and possibly "flashy" in the eyes of some. It's appropriate in 90% of situations but not a do-it-all watch(not that I expected it to be one).

I've taken it diving down to 100 feet with no problems. The dial is sapphire and has withstood some hard bumps without a scratch. The gold-plated part of the bracelet has a few scuffs, but I expected this because gold is very soft. In any case, it's not very noticeable and adds some character to the watch.

Functionally, it's very easy to change the date and time. It's also easy to read the dial. This is thanks to the simple but well-engineered design.

Overall, there are more expensive makes of watch out there, but if you're not looking for attention, this is a reliable and fun watch that will serve you well in most contexts(save for something like a black tie dinner) for decades.

just wanted to let anyone who wants to buy this watch know that the price of this watch was around th 780 mark a month or so back and since then its skyrocketed to 900 plus. If you want to buy this watch, wait for a while till the price comes down to its original or go for another brand and/or model.
