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.

High quality TAG at a discounted price! I saw this watch in a jewelry store for 1,000 dollars more than Amazon.com. I was skeptical about buying such a high ticket item online, but have no regrets. The price is discounted but the quality is not hampered. I spoke to Amazon re: my purchase and the customer service was stellar! I bought this as a gift, and the receiver was surprised and pleased. Great buy! Very nice beautiful watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid, Clean Look, Versatile Watch, December 27, 2010

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's WJ201A.BA0591 Link Caliber 5 Automatic Watch (Watch)

I have had my Link Auto Caliber 5 (Black Face) for a month and love it. When it was delivered I immediately unpacked it, inspected and then was out the door to get it sized. I had called around and sizing ran $15 to $25 depending on the store. I opted to go to an authorized dealer and paid $25. My wrist is just under 7.25" and had 3 links removed. The watch looks fantastic in person and in certain lighting/angles the face does look blue at times. I really like the brushed metal bracelet and case with the high polish bezel and crown. Watch has a good weight to it, but not too heavy IMO. I was looking for a watch that I could wear with a tux, to work and also when wearing jeans. The Link fits the bill!! Bracelets are going to get banged up no matter what and having a brushed bracelet helps disguise those scrapes. The unidirectional bezel is designed for diving, but is fantastic for daily use. Example: You put money into the parking meter and have 35 minutes, instead of trying to remember the time, just spin the bezel so that the lumen dot is aligned with your minute hand and off you go. Once the minute hand gets near the "35" on the bezel, you know you need to head back. I also like that the date is at 6 o'clock versus the more common 3 o'clock. The only thing I wish was that the bracelet had a micro-adjust. It would definitely help everyone get a "perfect" fit. If the price for this watch is still on the high side, then I suggest you take a look at the Hamilton automatics. Great bang for your buck with quality Swiss movements.

As an another reviewer mentioned this watch is understated and heavy. The face is cleanly detailed and little larger than I expected. The anti-reflective sapphire crystal is phenomenal, it leaves a dark blue hue at certain angles. I like the overall look, feel and apparent quality of the watch. It is sharp looking and bound get comments from admirers. The exhibition case back, also sapphire crystal, displays the Swiss ETA movement. TAG Heuer visibly decorated the movement with Côtes de Genève (means-Geneva waves) and jeweling (small spirals). I've had no issues with accuracy or power reserve.

If you buy through Amazon,or any other unauthorized dealer, the (two year) international warranty card will not be included. Given the savings, I was willing to take the risk and hope that the Amazon two year warranty will cover any issues that may arise. The serial number is visible and unmodified. Despite purchasing through Amazon, I was still able to register my watch directly on the TAG Heuer website.

My dislikes are minor - No fine adjustment on the bracelet clasp and the bracelet itself scratches easily. I have small wrists, with no fine adjustment and being a heavy watch, the watch tends to slide, uncomfortably, against the back of my hand.
