TAG Heuer watch - a synonym for luxury

Innovation is TAG Heuer’s middle name

In the context of innovation, another moment of considerable importance in the field of time measurement deserves attention. In 1916, E. Heuer constructed the Microgrpah, an instrument that was the first in the world to measure time with an accuracy of 1/100th of a second. At the same time, other stopwatches were measuring time with an accuracy of just 1/5th of a second.

As time went on, TAG Heuer refined its watches and stopwatches, creating the Microtimer in 1969, measuring time with an accuracy of 1/1000th of a second!

The desire to create products with a high degree of accuracy is evident in the brand's market position today. It is known for accuracy of its watches and great watchmaking innovation.
