History of TAG Heuer
In 1860 Edouard Heuer founded a watchmaker’s workshop in Saint-Imier in the Swiss Jura Mountains. It was the start of an extraordinary watchmaking story. Chronographs first appeared in the company’s archives in 1882. Edouard Heuer never ceased to improve and refine his precision-leading time instruments. He was granted many patents for his innovations and his collection of pocket chronographs was awarded a Silver Medal at the World’s Fair in Paris in 1889.

The Time of Trip, patented in 1911, was the first 12-hour dashboard chronograph for cars and aircrafts. It indicated time and duration of the trip and was a great success with aviator clubs. In 1916, TAG Heuer patented the Mikrograph, the world’s first mechanical stopwatch accurate to 1/100th of a second. At the time, other timing instruments could only measure to the nearest fifth of a second. This new development revolutionized science, industry and watchmaking, and made TAG Heuer the natural choice as the official supplier of timing instruments for the 1920 Olympic Games.

To meet the demanding world of sports, TAG Heuer developed in 1939 he first water-resistant wrist-chronographs. The brand also introduced at that time the first dashboard timer.On February 20, 1962, American astronaut John Glenn was wearing a TAG Heuer stopwatch when he piloted the spacecraft on the first manned U.S. orbital mission.

In 1984, years after the quartz explosion and the period of digital display chronograph, TAG Heuer launched the first quartz chronograph with an analog display – the 2000 chronograph. The 1990s was marked by the return of the automatic chronographs. TAG Heuer reintroduced the classic Carrera, the Monaco and the Monza. These timepieces were modernized to offer new functions meeting contemporary needs, yet they remained faithful to the spirit of the original pieces and the brand unique heritage.

In this beginning of the 21st century, TAG Heuer symbolized the fusion of technical and design, sport and glamor, prestige and performance.
