Personal Note
With the recent Kith x TAG Heuer collaboration watches interest in earlier, colourful, TAG Heuers has increased and I have already since sold a few and see this continuing. This larger 40.5mm Formula 1 features a striking orange dial and a perfectly contrasting bold black bezel. This CAH1113 feels like a step up from the fun 90s pieces and a step into the direction of producing a serious watch, it is interesting to see how the brand evolved over the years and what that looked like. I would not hesitate to add this one to your collection today!
The Brand
Edouard Heuer founded The Heuer Watch Company in 1860 in St. Imier, Switzerland. Chronographs have been the mainstay for Heuer and later TAG Heuer, featuring many models and configurations, expanding the possibilities to the full. In 1958, Jack Heuer, Edouard’s son, joined the company and in 1962, the first generation of Autavia was launched and famously worn in the 1970s by Formula One drivers such as Derek Bell, Jacky Ickx, Emerson Fittipaldi, Clay Regazzoni and Mario Andretti, and many more. In 1999, TAG Heuer accepted a bid from LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton S.A.
