Founded in 1860 by Edouard Heuer, TAG Heuer Swiss avant-garde has been a watchmaker for nearly 150 years. His prestige sports timers, watches and chronographs have written some of the best pages in the history of watchmaking, especially in relation to its accuracy and timeliness. TAG Heuer is the only watch brand that offers a world of precision watchmaking precision 1/10th, 1/100th and 1/1000th of a second. The company employs over 1000 people in their places of Switzerland in La Chaux-de-Fonds and Cornol, and 17 international affiliates. The strength of his successful watchmaking, the company decided to diversify the brand with its own range of reading and sunglasses, which was successfully launched in 2002 and his first instrument of communication to the telephony market Meridiist mobile phone was launched a few months ago.

In September 2008, a new area was opened on the site in response to global brand success. An extra 3,000 m2 were added to the existing 10,000 m2. More space and the machines were not the only requirements - know-how is also needed, of course, if a century and a half domain of the infinitely small is to be preserved. TAG Heuer has acquired the professional skills that are vital to this level of ambition of manufacture: design engineers, industrial engineers, fabricators, prototype makers, etc., have been recruited recently.

In recent years, TAG Heuer has developed a specialized design and engineering skill center with an annual budget of several million Swiss francs to help you meet your objectives as an integrated manufacturing and improve its responsiveness.

The new 18 gauge is designed to meet the highest expectations in terms of time and maintaining accuracy. The new column chronograph developed in-house, was in a place near this industrial Cornol that, in time, will house a new studio dedicated to making the future of mechanical motion is then fitted to the TAG Site Heuer in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the increased number of mechanical movements to the company for its collection of luxury rooms in 2010.
