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 review is from: TAG Heuer Men's WAV5112.BA0901 Grand Carrera Grand Date GMT Watch (Watch)

I have to say this watch is very stunning in person. Clean, great attention to detail, and very solid.

However, after 4 weeks of ownership the Crown/Stem broke while I was changing the time. I couldn't lock or seal the watch. No abuse or hard impacts, I'm assuming it's a rare defect. The most disappointing part is Amazon's warranty only covers movement, which means no coverage. Tag doesn't cover since Amazon is not an authorized retailer. And the warranty company for Amazon never responded on whether they make exceptions. Long story short, amazing watch, but I'm very disappointed a watch of this caliber and price would have such a stupid defect. Even worse was the fact that I ended up paying tag a few hundred dollars to make repairs after only a month of ownership and not having it repaired under any warranty or goodwill.

I've typically heard good things about Tags, I may have been the unlucky one but it does put the warranty issue into perspective. I'm assuming most people won't run into this issue but there are some advantages of purchasing something this expensive in a high end watch store vs. an unauthorized re-seller, mainly warranty and after sales service.

Best of Luck
