About TAG Heuer
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.

Customer Reviews

I bought it!
I went to Tourneau to see the watch, as Macy's didn't have it in stock. I like the blue better than pink, which can look more salmon colored with different light/angles. The the blue mother of pearl varies from light blue to grey and is lightly textured, so you catch some rainbows. The one in the store had a very smooth face. The perfectly sized watch definitely was not as shiny and "bling-y" under normal light as in the stores (one of my initial worries). I had the band adjusted at local small Tag dealer for $10, he just asked if it was a Xmas gift, maybe he knows I bought it online/Amazon?

One thing a little off, the second hand doesn't quite line up. The date and Tag brand logo (in thin black) are a little small, but so far I love it for $880 (vs $1500, I decided it was worth the risk since no one wrote anything truly negative in the discussion boards). I hope to remember to update to say the watch is still going great.

Took it swimming today (day2) and loving it!

Great watch, great price!
After coveting this watch for over a year, I was very happy to find it at such a good price on Amazon. It was $500-$600 more in stores, with the same warranty. I wear it swimming and scuba diving, yet it also dresses up any outfit. It has a lower and slimmer profile than other dive watches I've owned, very feminine. I also like the contrast of the brushed and shiny silver surfaces: this and the blue mother of pearl face give it a textured look that is understated and elegant. It's very worth it to spend the money on something of quality that you wear every day.

great watch
This is a great watch. I purchased it for my wife a couple of months ago, and she absolutely loves it. It goes nicely with anything. The coolest thing about the watch is that while it is a very nice piece, it isn't overly showy. . . no "Look at me! I am super expensive!"
