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 Classic Timepiece For Those Who Demand Modern Style, February 16, 2010

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's WAV511A.BA0900 Grand Carrera Automatic Calibre 6 RS Watch (Watch)

I just received the TAG Heuer Men's Grand Carrera Calibre 6 as a birthday gift. I have to tell you that as a long time fan of the TAG brand, i am very impressed with this watch. This is a good alternative to the "sport" heavy TAG watch with stopwatch functionality. The glass cover seems huge and highlights some great three-dimensional design features on the face of the watch. I am also a fan of the "second-hand" rotating disc. It is definitely different than a simple second hand, and adds a real stylistic element to the watch that catches people's eyes. I've been wearing TAG watches for 22 years now and this is an excellent watch that can be used both as a casual watch and a dressy/classy accessory.

Additionally, the Calibre 6 is slightly lighter (with a smaller face) than the Calibre 8. It is also several hundred dollars less expensive. So, if you're looking to get into the Grand Carerra collection, than this is the watch for you.

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's WAV511A.BA0900 Grand Carrera Automatic Calibre 6 RS Watch (Watch)

Purchased this watch directly from Amazon, so I felt good about the integrity and the warranty of the product. Item arrived in a genuine Tag Heuer box with orignal papers and cards. The watch has a classic refinement and beauty that wears well for multiple occasions. The rotating disc certainly adds a distinctive syle that separates it from others. I get compliments on this piece.

So far, the watch has performed extremely well. Haven't had any loss or gain in time. It has been right on the money as a COSC certified watch should be. The power reserve is stated at 42 hours and falls close to this. Very pleased with this purchase.

The whole experience has been great until I saw the watch -- the dial color is BLACK! If I knew it is black I would have ordered the white one (WAV511B.BA0900). Don't get me wrong, black dial doesn't look bad. But it is just that when you spend this much money on the watch you do expect it to be perfect. I did some research on the internet after I received the watch and didn't find a blue dial version of this model. I guess I will have to return it and order the white one instead. I will give a follow up review about the returning process.
