Who or what is TAG Heuer?
The history of TAG Heuer watches
TAG Heuer is a Swiss luxury watch brand founded in 1860 by Edouard Heuer. Heuer began producing pocket watches when he was just 20 years old. However, it wasn't long before he caught the attention of the watch industry with his innovative techniques and designs. In 1882, Heuer introduced the first chronograph with a resolution of 1/100 of a second, which was particularly important for racing. In 1916, TAG Heuer introduced the Mikrograph, the world's first stopwatch with an accuracy of 1/100 of a second. Between 1933 and 1958, TAG Heuer was the official timekeeper of the Grand Prix de Monaco and in 1958 the brand presented the famous Heuer Carrera, which has since become one of TAG Heuer's most famous models. In 1985, TAG Heuer became the official timekeeper of Formula 1.
