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.

The watch itself is beautiful and flawless. But, if you buy this watch from Amazon.com,the international warranty card and C.O.S.C Certification are not included in the packaging since Amazon is not an authorized dealer of tag Heuer. Make sure you understand that before purchasing.

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's WAV511B.FC6224 Grand Carrera Automatic Certified Watch (Watch)

I purchased this watch for my husband for father's day. He has been wanting a Tag watch for sometime now and I finally decided to take the plunge and purchase one for him. I have done countless hours of research, visited over 10 stores and finally decided on purchasing this watch from Amazon as the price was far better than anywhere else I've seen it. My husband wore the watch for 1 month, putting it in a watch winder every night, and after just 1 month it stopped keeping time accurately - it is 8 minutes/hour fast and the date override button no longer works. For a watch of this price this is unacceptable. My daughter's $10 Hello Kitty watch keeps more accurate time! Since Amazon is not an authorized Tag dealer the International Guarantee is not valid which means you can not bring it to a local Tag-certified store for repair. You have to send it off to a non-cetified jeweler in Kentucky and it will take 4-6 weeks to fix. At this point I just want my money back for the watch. When I called to return the watch they said I am past the return date which is 1 month from purchase and I have no other option then to send it to be fixed. I do not feel confident that the watch parts haven't been switched out with non-Tag parts because this should not happen to an authentic Tag Watch but unfortunately I'm stuck with it. If you are going to spend this kind of money on a watch don't make the mistake I did - spend a little more and go to an authorized Tag dealer.

The watch was exactly what I expected. It is keeping excellent time and I expect it will continue to. The watch watch fits perfectly and at 40mm, it's not too large or too small.
