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.

I bought this recently after months of indecision. I've always wanted an "heirloom" watch, something classic that would last me an age. But of course, these things cost an awfully large amount of money. I finally decided I would take the plunge and lumped for this Grand Carrera.
The watch is wonderful. The styling is just right. Classic and yet modern enough to stand out from older pieces. The time and date are easy to adjust and, while I'm no expert, the watch seems to lose very little time.
I also found that changing out the bracelet is very easy and can be done with a jeweler's screwdriver. For an additional $500 you can buy a stainless steel bracelet, or brown alligator band and clasp, that give you additional looks for the watch. Not cheap I know, but they will come down in price after the watch has been out a while.
Overall, a great buy and I'd recommend it to others.

I just received my new Grand Carrera RS6 and am very impressed!! Being a previous Tag owner I appreciate the quality of these watches and the RS6 is no exception. It is a classically styled watch with an impeccable built finish and attention to detail. It doesn't shout "bling", but has the wow factor for those who appreciate fine classic watches. The service I received from Perfect Timing was nothing short of exceptional!! I live in Australia and received the watch in 5 days (including a weekend!) which I found amazing!! Thank you Perfect Timing!!

My husband and I purchased this watch for our son for graduation from college. He absolutely loves it & is very satisfied with it. Amazon's pricing was close to $500 less than the best price we found at any jewelry store.
