Identity

1860, Saint-Imier at the very heart of the birthplace of watchmaking. A bold young man decides to found his own brand. His name: Edouard Heuer. At the age of just 20, he was to revolutionize the watchmaking industry by breaking away from the established rules. Ever since that time, TAG Heuer’s vocation has been to push back the boundaries and defy convention in order to invent incredible watches and chronographs of extreme precision. The world of TAG Heuer is intimately linked to motor racing and the division of time into infinitely small units, but its aura extends well beyond this arena. Capturing TAG Heuer’s motto, “Don’t Crack Under Pressure”, are prominent partnerships and brand ambassadors that express the brand’s passion for action and high performance. These include the Formula E World Championship, of which the brand is a founding partner, the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E team, the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing Formula 1 Team, the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix and Grand Prix Historique, the World Endurance Championships and the Indianapolis 500. As for TAG Heuer Ambassadors, they all build the legend and share the ability to stand up to pressure, constantly pushing their limits, including legends Steve McQueen and Ayrton Senna, actors Chris Hemsworth and Patrick Dempsey, ATP next-generation tennis players Alex de Minaur, Frances Tiafoe, Denis Shapovalov and Felix Auger Aliassime, and big wave surfer Kai Lenny.

The TAG Heuer Monaco, launched in 1969, featured two ground-breaking innovations: the first waterproof square case and the first automatic-winding chronograph movement. Today, just celebrating its 50th anniversary, prized by collectors and younger generations alike, the iconic Monaco symbolizes all the savoir-faire and avant-garde of TAG Heuer.

Savoir-faire

Flagship of the brand since 1963, the TAG Heuer Carrera was born on the race track and designed as a modern, ultra-legible and high-precision chronograph, to meet the needs of the world’s best drivers. Today’s iterations express the same maverick DNA, supported by the most advanced watchmaking technology. The TAG Heuer Carrera, as well as other premier models, is powered by the sophisticated Calibre Heuer 02, the brand’s latest in-house-developed movement. It incorporates 168 components including a column wheel and a vertical clutch, signatures of improved chronograph timekeeping and high-quality manufacture movements, and boasts an outstanding power reserve of 80 hours.
