The Watch

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. In 1962 the first generation of Autavia was launched. 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.

Personal Note

A TAG Heuer that a lot of people overlook, but when you consider the fact you get a 38mm automatic Chronograph from a brand with real history and heritage you realise this is a cracking deal. Even more so when you look deeper and see that this watch features tritium so is apart of the last group of watches that will actually show some age and develop a patina, it is stunning and even at this moment!
