Personal Note
This Heuer has really blown me away, from a time when TAG Heuer certainly wasn't doing their best work, yet this incredible timepiece came out! The size is perfect and on the wrist, this really shines, it sits beautifully and works well for him or for her. The simplicity of the design is the highlight, you'll struggle to find a better-rounded GMT for a price like this at this size that's for sure!
The Brand
Edouard Heuer founded The Heuer Watch Company in 1860 in St. Imier, Switzerland. Edouard invented the oscillating pinion which is still used in today's chronographs. In 1963 Jack Heuer designed the Carrera. With the assistance of Willy Breitling, they shared the development costs for the Calibre 11 in 1969, the first self-winding chronograph. Heuer was purchased by the TAG Group in 1985 changing their name to TAG Heuer. Later TAG Heuer was bought by Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH).
