Tag Heuer is most recognized for its timepieces, a watch genre in which it has excelled to the point where it was once producing them for several of its prominent Swiss competitors, including Rolex.
Édouard Heuer, the company’s founder, was a maverick innovator and pioneer. He started his 19th-century watchmaker business in St-Imier and became a prominent figure in the history of watchmaking.
The company went on to make clocks for airplanes, vehicles, and boats. The Autavia (a mix of “automobile” and “aviation”), which became one of the company’s most important lines throughout the Thirties, was born of its breakthroughs in dashboard chronographs.
Connected
Tag Heuer entered the smartwatch industry in 2005 with the release of Connected. It now runs on Google’s Android Wear operating system, which gives it access to a wide range of apps and services.
TAG Heuer also has an app for the watch that allows the user to modify the face to look like one of the company’s traditional analog watches. It is, without a doubt, the most beautiful luxury smartwatch on the market, perfectly combining elegance and practicality.
Carrera
In 1964, Tag Heuer introduced the Carrera timepieces to celebrate the road event, Carrera Panamericana in Mexico. Carrera was the first chronograph designed specifically for measuring times in automobile racing.
Since its appearance, this watch has produced a slew of other sizes and dial designs, some of which use distinct movements. Additionally, it has a skeletonized dial with a matching black rubber strap, and black and steel accents.
It is powered by a Heuer-02 movement, which can also be found in various Carrera and Autavia models. Also, one great thing about this watch is that it has a stunning power reserve of 80 hours.
Autavia
At Baselworld 2019, the latest model of Autavia timepieces received mixed reviews. However, for the first time, this model was available with a three-hand wristwatch instead of chronograph sub-dials.
On the other hand, TAG Heuer was commended for announcing that the Autavia will become a continuing collection rather than a model that would be presented on a sporadic basis throughout time.
If you agree with the next generation’s design, it will all come down to its design. It’s an excellent-looking watch with a lot of history, so it deserves a spot on this list.
Aquaracer
Despite its reputation as a professional wristwatch, the Aquaracer series started in 2003 as a diving tool watch and has since gained popularity among the general public. TAG Heuer’s Calibre S electromechanical chronograph movement is used in several Aquaracer models. However, quartz is used in this version.
That means you’ll have to replace the battery at some point, but you’ll get precise timekeeping and, in this case, a supercool Khaki green hue in the process. Not to mention, it’s very low-cost.
Carerra Senna Special Edition
Who doesn’t appreciate a timepiece that is only available in a limited number of pieces? This Carerra is specifically spectacular since it pays tribute to Ayrton Senna, arguably the most excellent Formula One driver of all time. We hope you agree that it is an appropriate tribute.
The Carerra Senna Special Edition is composed of an ultra-premium ceramic sand-blasted case. Additionally, it has a Heuer 02T COSC movement and a tourbillon to improved its accuracy. Lastly, it has a skeleton dial with Senna’s signature symbol at 9 o’clock, and a photograph of the great man.
Carrera
Another Carrera watch model has a Day-Date with the Calibre 16 movement based on an ETA 7750 and is primarily regarded as one of the most significant automatic movements ever built. This Carrera can display the day and date and measure 1/4 second, 30 minutes, and 12 hours. The brown alligator leather band with rose gold hour markers and hands is beautiful, adding a touch of refinement to the racing-oriented watch.
Aquaracer
TAG Heuer introduced the Aquaracer in 2020 with a black and blue bezel that looked frighteningly identical – yet completely reasonable. Then, TAG added a burst of color with a blue dial with ridged accents and a sunray finish.
It has the same shape of bezel as the previous Aquaracer models and is driven by the Calibre 7 movement, which has a GMT function.
Takeaway
Tag Heuer has dabbled with the smartwatch market. Its Connected line of modular watches has the option to change the look of the faces via a touchscreen interface, as well as changing straps, lugs, and even the watch head itself. Tag Heuer has established itself as one of the most famous names in high-end precision watchmaking thanks to developments like these.
