Time & History
TAG Heuer’s story began in 1860 when 20-year-old Édouard Heuer established his inaugural watchmaking workshop in Saint‑Imier, Switzerland. His pioneering spirit soon led to the invention of a keyless winding system in 1869 and, in 1887, the “oscillating pinion”—a breakthrough enabling instant chronograph control still used by top watchmakers today. Guided by family leadership and technical innovation, Heuer steadily cemented its reputation for accuracy and craftsmanship through the early 20th century.
During the 20th century, Heuer expanded into wrist chronographs—introducing its first in 1914—and pushed precision further with the Mikrograph stopwatch in 1916, accurate to 1/100th of a second. The brand’s motorsport connections deepened through models like Autavia, Carrera, and Monaco, culminating in a game-changing moment in 1969 with the launch of the first automatic chronographs powered by the Calibre 11 movement. The avant-garde design of the Monaco—worn by Steve McQueen in Le Mans—cemented Heuer’s iconic status.
In 1985, Techniques d’Avant‑Garde (TAG) acquired Heuer, birthing TAG Heuer and ushering in a modern era marked by bold design and technical reinvention. Notably, the vibrant, quartz-powered Formula 1 collection emerged in the 1980s as a youthful, dynamic foil to traditional timepieces—an identity revisited today through limited-edition collaborations and renewed motorsport partnerships.
Technology & Advancements
Since its founding in 1860, TAG Heuer has been defined by innovation in precision timekeeping. In 1887, founder Édouard Heuer patented the oscillating pinion, a mechanism that dramatically simplified chronograph construction and remains a cornerstone in the watch industry today. This early ingenuity laid the groundwork for TAG Heuer’s reputation as a pioneer of accuracy and performance, setting the brand apart in the competitive Swiss watchmaking landscape.
TAG Heuer’s commitment to technical advancement accelerated in the 20th century. In 1916, it introduced the Mikrograph—the world’s first mechanical stopwatch accurate to 1/100th of a second—revolutionising sports timing and cementing the brand’s deep connection to motorsport. Later, in 1969, TAG Heuer co-developed the Calibre 11, one of the world’s first automatic chronograph movements, which powered the legendary Monaco model. These milestones not only advanced mechanical engineering but also reshaped how precision and design could coexist in wristwatches.
In recent decades, TAG Heuer has continued to redefine the limits of horological technology. The brand introduced ultra-high-frequency concepts such as the Mikrotimer and Mikrogirder, capable of measuring 1/1,000th and even 1/2,000th of a second. At the same time, TAG Heuer embraced the digital age with the Connected Watch, merging Swiss craftsmanship with smartwatch functionality. By blending tradition with cutting-edge technology, TAG Heuer maintains its position at the forefront of watchmaking innovation, bridging the gap between heritage and the future of time.
