Jewellery & Watch News
Possibly one of the best known luxury watch manufacturers out there, TAG Heuer are no strangers to success. Their stunning collections of sport watches, chronographs and dress watches are home to some of the greatest innovations in watch history, cementing the brand’s relentless desire to revolutionise what it means to own an exceptional timepiece.
Since their founding in 1860, TAG Heuer have engineered a huge range of industry changing mechanics for watchmaking from the world’s first oscillating pinion, to the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100th of a second and the release of the first Swiss smartwatch: the TAG Heuer Connected. It seems almost every new TAG Heuer watch released breaks another boundary in watch design and smashes records for precision and innovation.
Today we will be breaking down all the latest TAG Heuer watch collections to help you find the perfect model for you. From TAG Heuer smartwatches to TAG Heuer chronographs, there really is a TAG Heuer watch for everyone.
TAG Heuer Carrera Watches
For as long as we can remember, TAG Heuer has had an cast iron relationship with the world of motor racing. The TAG Heuer Carrera watch collection was first designed back in 1963 to commemorate this adrenaline filled world with each Carrera model boasting a design inspired by race car aesthetics.
Jack Heuer, great grandson of the founder of TAG Heuer watches, stated in his autobiography that when he designed the very first TAG Heuer Carrera watch, he wanted ‘a dial that had a clear, clean look’. This philosophy continues to be carried through every TAG Carrera watch today, with each design combining elegance and functionality that makes them the perfect sporty dress watch for someone looking for a timepiece that will go straight from the office to any special occasion. There are so many incredible TAG Heuer Carrera watches to choose from that’s its difficult to pick one as our favourite. Nevertheless, we have always been drawn to the TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 01 watches for their breathtaking skeletonised dials and incredible Swiss made automatic movements.
TAG Heuer Formula 1 Watches
Another collection inspired by motor racing; TAG Heuer Formula 1 watches are described as “casual sports watches for a fast-paced life.” This portrayal couldn’t be more accurate with their sophisticated designs and high precision automatic and quartz movements. The TAG Heuer Formula 1 watch collection has secured the brand as one of the world’s leading sports watch manufacturers and since 1992, TAG Heuer has been the Official Timekeeper of the Formula One World Championships with many TAG Formula 1 models worn on the track by F1 champions.
As well as catering for race car drivers, TAG Heuer Formula 1 watches are neatly designed for essential everyday use. There are a huge range of TAG Heuer Formula 1 watches for men which perfectly combine the need for functionality and sophistication. The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Gulf watch is one of our favourites which celebrates Gulf Oil, whose iconic livery was worn by the Le Mans winning Porsches of the late 1960s. There are also plenty of TAG Heuer Formula 1 watches for women available which make use of precious materials like mother of pearl and diamonds to create an unmissable finish on the wrist.
TAG Heuer Aquaracer Watches
Combining the sport of motor racing with underwater adventures, the TAG Heuer Aquaracer watch is the perfect model for those in need of ingenious technology and water resistant design. The dream sports watch for the modern-day man, each TAG Heuer Aquaracer watch comes with a Swiss made movement, available in both quartz and mechanical, alongside a sporty, sophisticated strap.
Most TAG Heuer Aquaracer watches can withstand water pressure up to 300 metres, providing a decent level of resistance for swimming, snorkelling and shallow diving. The water resistance is all thanks to the resourceful innovations of the TAG Heuer designers which include screw in polished steel case backs, screw down crowns and unidirectional bezels. All TAG Heuer Aquaracer watches are also put under intense testing to ensure they can withstand the pressures it promises from pressure cookers to immersion, intense heat and salty fog tests. There is very little a TAG Heuer Aquaracer watch can’t handle.
TAG Heuer Autavia Watches
The TAG Heuer Autavia watch collection beautifully tributes a legendary driver’s chronograph from the sixties by taking its original dashboard design and reinventing it into a legendary timepiece. These models are widely popular with watch collectors, not only for their vintage aesthetic but for their modern automatic movements like the Calibre Heuer 02 which provides breathtaking chronograph function.
This year, TAG Heuer unveiled a brand new line of TAG Heuer Autavia Isograph watches to combine the worlds of motor racing and aviation. With large crowns designed to be operated with thick pilot gloves and embossed prop plane decorations on the case back, TAG Heuer are refusing to let us forget again about their connections to the skies. The TAG Heuer Autavia Isograph is also one of the very first TAG watches to be accompanied by a revolutionary piece of technology called the ISOGRAPH. The Isograph is a state-of-the-art oscillator which features a carbon composite hairspring and a tailor-made balance wheel. This means the hairspring is incredibly lightweight and low density giving it a higher rate of stability and impervious to magnetism and shock.
TAG Heuer Monaco Watches
One of the most famous and most collectible TAG Heuer watches, the TAG Monaco collection is designed after the famous automatic chronograph worn by the racing legend Steven McQueen during the classic 1970 Hollywood film Le Mans. This breathtaking collection of sports watches epitomises everything considered luxurious, elegant and divine, personifying both the city of Monaco and the Monaco race.
When the TAG Heuer Monaco was first released simultaneously in Geneva and New York on 3rd March 1969, it become the first square, water-resistant automatic chronograph watch in the history of Swiss watchmaking. It remains one of TAG’s most iconic designs providing an unmissable look on the wrist and offering a variety of colourful dial designs to choose from. Just like how the exterior amazes, hidden within each TAG Heuer Monaco watch is one of two TAG movements, the TAG quartz or the TAG Calibre 11 automatic, both exceeding expectations for accuracy.
TAG Heuer Link Watches
The TAG Heuer Link watch collection is one of the most important to remember, having become an important part of the brand’s DNA since its release in 1987. It was originally known as the TAG Heuer S/el or Sports Elegance but was re-released in 1999 under the new name ‘Link’ to reflect the watch’s defining characteristic: the elegant double S shaped links in the bracelet.
TAG Heuer Link watches are perfect for both men and women looking for a reliable and attractive timepiece that can go effortlessly between day and night. The TAG Heuer Link Ladies watches are highly coveted by women of grace thanks to their glistening mother of pearl dials, diamond dot indices and stainless steel bracelets. The men’s TAG Heuer Link watches stand just as proud with exquisite chronograph movements and sleek stainless steel cases that mould effortlessly to the wrist.
TAG Heuer Connected Modular Smartwatches
After securing themselves as one of the giants of the luxury watch world, it was only a matter of time before TAG Heuer tried their part at engineering their very own smartwatch. The TAG Heuer Connected Modular Smartwatch collection became the very first Swiss made smartwatch in the world when it was released in 2017. They continue to be manufactured in the brand’s workshops in La Chaux de Fonds, allowing each TAG Heuer Connected watch to proudly display a Swiss Made label on the dial.
Each TAG Heuer smartwatch is completely customisable giving the wearer the ability to choose from over 4,000 design options including the dial, lugs, buckle, case material, bezel and strap. The TAG Heuer Connected watches also boast impressive smartwatch functionality like GPS, NFC payment ability, Google Fit Apps, voice control and smart notifications. These luxury wearables are certainly giving other smartwatch companies a run for their money.
