Product Description

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.

This watch feels like 2.4 lbs of awesome. I also purchased a watch sizer from Amazon that made it easy to size the watch myself (I did have problems finding a jeweler that would size it for me b/c I did not buy the watch from them directly). Beautiful dial, great accuracey of time.

Good buy.

Am not really a luxury watch type of guy, but am very happy with this watch. My wife bought it for me for our 20th wedding anniversary. I have owned a whole slew of diving watches, Citizen, Seiko, and other brands. This watch is distinct because it is water proof to 500 meters vs. the standard 200 meters. Have had no problems with scratches on the sapphire crystal. Having the date window on the left side of the face rather than the right is also very distinctive. The rotating benzel has raised metal numbering and markers rather than the painted ones (even used by Rolex on the Submariner for twice the price). The Swiss movement is not that usual with it's 8 ticks per second; I have had $300 Invicta's with as accurate timekeeping and very similar Swiss automatic movements (including the same number of jewels). The last finishing touch that makes the watch is the stainless steel watch band. If you look closely you can see all the subtle touches that make it beatiful. The links very slightly taper from the watch down to the clasp (very unusual) and the center links are slightly raised which stands out as the band curves around the wrist. Top quality watch with very many distinctive design elements!

I ordered the Mens Tag Heuer Aquarace one week before Christmas and it arrived prior to Christmas. Watch was shipped quickly, and in excellent condition. I have been wearing the watch for the last 45 days and I get a lot of compliments on it. My first luxury watch, and I love it!
