History of Tag-Heuer Watches

TAG Heuer, founded simply as "Heuer Watchmaking" in 1860 by Edouard Heuer in St-Imier, Switzerland, has a storied history of innovation and precision in watchmaking. Early milestones include the 1882 patent of Heuer's first chronograph and the 1887 patent for the oscillating pinion, a key development in mechanical chronographs. Throughout the early 20th century, TAG Heuer focused on creating precise timekeeping devices for transportation, including the "Time of Trip" dashboard chronograph and the "Mikrograph," the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of a second. The introduction of the Autavia and Carrera chronographs in the 1960s, and the Monaco in 1969, solidified the brand's reputation for excellence and innovation, particularly in motorsports.

In 1985, the TAG Group acquired Heuer, forming TAG Heuer and bringing new technological advancements to the company. The 1999 acquisition by LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton S.A. further enhanced its prestige. Today, TAG Heuer continues to innovate while honoring its rich heritage, with recent introductions like the "Pendulum Concept" and the development of smartwatches that blend traditional Swiss craftsmanship with modern technology. The brand maintains strong ties to sports, particularly motorsports, and offers a diverse product line that includes the Carrera, Aquaracer, Formula 1, and Connected series. Under the leadership of CEO Frédéric Arnault and honorary chairman Jack Heuer, TAG Heuer remains a leader in Swiss watchmaking, known for its avant-garde design and precision.
