Men's WatchesLadies WatchesEstablished by Edouard Heuer in 1860, TAG Heuer has been built on the foundation of family leadership and technological innovation. Committed to the world of sport, particularly motor racing, the brand has created the world’s most accurate timing instruments, achieving an accuracy of 5/10,000ths of a second. This know-how is infused in every collection and every piece. Masterfully designed, each collection from the Carrera to the Autavia to the Monaco have all gained an iconic status.
TAG Heuer timepieces make it possible to capture every fraction of a second of a performance. Shortly after its inception, the brand introduced the Mikrograph - a mechanical chronograph five times more accurate than any other - and became the official timekeeper for the most famous sports competitions.
