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 WJF1152.BB0579 Two-Tone Link Quartz Watch (Watch)

I placed my order on Friday afternoon and the watch arrived Monday by FedEx. Can't complain about that. It's difficult buying certain items on the net with only looking at a picture and a description. A watch is one of those items. So do your homework, particularly with something this expensive.
I was looking for an everyday watch but not too casual looking. This watch is definitely not casual. It's everything I anticipated. I wasn't so much concerned about getting a fake since I was dealing with Amazon. Although, this watch came from [...]. I still checked it out once I got it in my hands. It's real. All the proper imprints were on the watch and all the Tag packaging was included - minus the Tag Heuer Warranty card. I examined it very closely with my Belomo folding magnifier. (Got an excuse to use my magnifier.) Also, the band is definitely authentic.
I paid $[...] for this watch. The very same watch sells at Neiman Marcus for $[...]. The only difference is you get a two year factory warranty from Tag. This watch has a three year warranty from the seller. I don't know what their service is like so that is an unknown. I do have to say I had Tag automatic which I sent back to Tag three times. The last two times were one year apart. They wanted $[...] to preform the exact same service. So I said to return it and I bought this crystal watch instead.
I'll update my review as time goes by.
UPDATE: July 5, 2010 I've had my watch for 3 months now. It looks and runs great. I am aware that electric quartz watches run more accurately than kinetic self wind watches. Although, the later are generally more expensive due to the intricate materials and construction. (Gold and other precious metals aside.) You would think the more money the better the accuracy, but this isn't so. Anyway, I'm astonished to announce that my Tag, after 3 months, has kept PERFECT TIME. That's incredible. Certainly within half a second. I hardly expect this to continue but I'll keep you posted.
UPDATE: June 15, 2011 I'm not feeling too bad. The watch is still keeping excellent time and it now costs $500.00 more than I paid one year ago.
