It might not be immediately obvious to equate a Swiss watchmaking brand with over 150 years’ experience and expertise with innovation and a pioneering style, yet that’s exactly what TAG Heuer stand for.
The son of a shoemaker in the small town of Brugg in the north of Switzerland, Edouard Heuer started his own watchmaking business at the age of just 20. In 1882, twenty-two years later, he patented his first chronograph in what became a long line of firsts.
A love of motor racing prompted a desire to measure time in increasingly smaller intervals and in 1916, Edouard Heuer’s son Charles-Auguste gave the world the first stopwatch, accurate to 1/100 of a second. The brand was quickly embraced by the sport and their timepieces were worn by professional racers and fans alike.
TAG Heuer even became the first extra-terrestrial watch manufacturer, with one of their stopwatches having been worn by astronaut John Glenn when he piloted the Mercury Atlas 6 spacecraft in 1962 on the first manned space flight to orbit the earth.
Here we take a look at a selection of TAG Heuer watches for both ladies and gentlemen that beautifully illustrate the stylish innovation the brand has become famous for.

The 32mm case is beautifully presented on a stainless steel bracelet and features polished steel hands on a blue sunray dial complemented by hand-applied baton markers.
