Tag Heuer Formula 1 Watch: A Consumer's Review

By Sebastian Cork


TAG Heuer is a leading manufacturer of timepieces and watches in the world. It is one of the few that stands out when it comes to providing consumers with the very best and high end precision timepieces that can stand the test of time. It is a brand that doesn't need that much of an introduction because it is a highly respected name in the industry. The company boasts Swiss beginnings, just as legendary watch brands should. The Heuer name is carried as an expression of respect for the founder of the very first shop that led to the rise of the company. The man is called Edouard Heuer, and he was the one responsible for making the name of TAG Heuer what it is in modern day times.

Edouard was simply contemplating making and designing good quality watches that would symbolize something that had never existed in his time, those with precision and durability. The humble objective soon became a huge success and a hit for consumers and in a matter of years, the once small Swiss watch shop became one of the biggest names in the entire industry of watches, especially catering the sports and highly durable niche of timepieces.

Added success soon followed with the first ever patent applied by the company. The patented invention was later known as the chronograph mechanism. After the patent in the year 1882, other important timepiece technologies and innovations soon followed. Among the list is the 1/100 of a second accuracy as well as a very tiny timekeeping device. Additionally, Heuer is credited with the automatic movement combined with micro rotor and the first ever dashboard stopwatch for cars.

And in 1985, the company again rose to prominence with the merging of another big name, TAG. The acronym stands for Techniques D'Avant-Garde. The merger, which later became the famous TAG Heuer would eventually become the biggest name in the watch market.

After the establishment of the new and bigger brand, they were able to produce and manufacture all-time bestsellers such as the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Watch. In fact, the very same model is considered the flagship of the brand due to its classic popularity. The watch is named after the world championship racing. The unveiling of this model led consumers to realize that Heuer has in fact leaned towards the design and production of more advanced and sporty types with the use of the innovative quartz mechanism.

Formula 1's most distinguished feature must be the stocky and attractive composite bezel attached to durable but very presentable rubber straps. There are also lots of different color options available for personal taste and preference. The same watch became a very good comparison to high end and highly expensive Swiss brands of timepieces.

However, probably the most famous attribute of the watch is the company's endeavor in making it a practical but very elegant timepiece for those who cannot afford the most expensive brands out there. But then again, you wouldn't label it as low end either, right from the very moment you get to wear it.

And with the kind of history that the Formula 1 Watch has established over the years, it is safe to say that this watch is certainly a legend in its own right.
