About Tag Heuer
Edouard Heuer opened his first watch shop in the Swiss village of St. Imier in 1860. His vision was to create timepieces that would be the benchmark for precision and innovation. This Tag Heuer Aquaracer is no exception to his vision and philosophy. Heuer’s first patent was received in 1882 for a chronograph mechanism and was followed by a long list of accomplishments, such as creating the first stopwatch accurate to within a 1/100th of a second and the first dashboard stopwatch for race cars.
In 1985, Heuer joined the TAG (Techniques D’Advant-Garde) group and the Tag Heuer name and logo were born. Tag has a reputation for precision, technological excellence, innovative design and reliability. This reputation earned them the honor of serving as the official timekeeper for several Olympics, Formula 1 racing and other major sporting events. They sponsor numerous professional athletes in a variety of sports. The Tag Aquaracer series is just one of many Tag watches that incorporate all phases of this reputation in its design.
Objections
