Although it has gradually increased in price, you can still have it for a third of the price of the Moonwatch.

A historic design

The Swiss watch brand Tag Heuer is the result of the merger in 1985 between the company Heuer, founded in 1860, and the group TAG (Avant Garde Techniques). This union marked the beginning of a new era for the brand, characterized by a combination of technological innovations and a rich watchmaking heritage.
<h2 dir="ltr">Background of the Merger in 1985</h2>
In the 1970s, the Swiss watch industry went through a tumultuous period, known as the "quartz crisis". The mass introduction of cheap quartz watches, mainly from Asia, threatens the survival of traditional mechanical watch manufacturers. Heuer, despite its established reputation in the field of chronographs, did not escape this crisis and encountered financial difficulties.
In 1985, the group TAG, specialized in cutting-edge technologies, particularly in aeronautics and Formula 1, acquires Heuer. This merger gives rise to Tag Heuer, combining Heuer's watchmaking heritage with TAG's technological expertise.
<h2 dir="ltr">Renaissance and Modernization (1985-1999)</h2>
Under new leadership, TAG Heuer is undertaking a strategy to revitalize the brand by building on its heritage while incorporating modern innovations. The brand is reintroducing flagship models such as the TAG Heuer Carrera and the TAG Heuer Monaco, adapting them to contemporary tastes while retaining their iconic design. These reissues are a success with watch enthusiasts.
TAG Heuer is also introducing new product lines, including the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tag_heuer/2000_series"> TAG Heuer Series 2000</a>, a collection of waterproof sports watches, and the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tag_heuer/6000_series"> TAG Heuer Series 6000</a>, which combines elegance and performance. The brand strengthens its association with the world of sport, in particular Formula 1, by becoming the official timekeeper of several teams and events. These partnerships reinforce the dynamic and innovative image of TAG Heuer.
<h2 dir="ltr">Acquisition par LVMH et Expansion (1999-2010)</h2>
In 1999, the French luxury group LVMH (Mo&euml;t Hennessy Louis Vuitton) acquires TAG Heuer, thus integrating the brand into its prestigious portfolio. Under the aegis of LVMH, TAG Heuer invests in research and development to design its own movements. In 2004, the brand unveiled the Calibre 360, a mechanical chronograph capable of measuring 1/100th of a second, a world first.
TAG Heuer continues to innovate with models such as the TAG Heuer Monaco V4 in 2009, the first watch in the world equipped with a movement driven by belts, and the TAG Heuer Microtimer Flying 1000 in 2011, capable of measuring 1/1000th of a second.
The brand is expanding its global presence by opening flagship stores in key cities and strengthening its distribution network.
<h2 dir="ltr">Diversification and Connected Watches (2010-2020)</h2>
Faced with the emergence of connected watches, TAG Heuer decides to adapt to new technological trends.
In 2015, the brand launched the TAG Heuer Connected, its first smartwatch, in collaboration with Google and Intel. This model combines the traditional design of TAG Heuer with the functionality of a modern smartwatch. TAG Heuer is expanding its historic strategy of partnerships, particularly with automotive brands such as Porsche, and offers limited editions celebrating iconic events or personalities.
<h2 dir="ltr">Recent Commitments and Future Outlook (2020 - present)</h2>
TAG Heuer continues to strengthen its position in the luxury watch market by focusing on innovation and respect for its heritage. The brand offers reissues of historic models, such as the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tag_heuer/carrera_chronograph"> TAG Heuer Carrera</a> and the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tag_heuer/monaco"> TAG Heuer Monaco</a>, incorporating modern technical improvements while retaining the original design. Many limited series will be released to the delight of collectors.
TAG Heuer is committed to green initiatives, including reducing its carbon footprint and using sustainable materials in its products and packaging. In 2024, LVMH, parent company of TAG Heuer, enters into a 10-year partnership with Formula 1, strengthening the brand's association with motorsport.
In conclusion, since its merger with TAG in 1985, TAG Heuer has navigated between tradition and innovation, consolidating its strong position in luxury watchmaking. By combining its rich heritage with technological advancements and strategic partnerships, the brand continues to appeal to watch enthusiasts around the world.

Hello everyone! Here is my second review on the site and today, I'm talking to you about my Tag Heuer Exclusive 2000! 

I bought this watch second-hand with its original box and the latest maintenance invoices and I must say that upon receipt I was very pleasantly surprised by its superb blue sunray dial! 

Without further ado, I'll give you the technical specifications: 

Case Size: 38 MM
Case Material: Steel
Movement: Quartz ETA 955.112
Glass: Sapphire
Dial Type: Blue sunray, stick indexes and Arabic numerals at 12, 6 and 9 o'clock
Water Resistance: 200 meters
Year of production: 2004 ~ 2005

Personally, I find it really beautiful with this deep dial that displays magnificent reflections in natural light! The 38mm case is really not ridiculous. My feeling when worn is closer to a 40mm thanks to its unidirectional bezel which is quite imposing. 

Its sporty look but its contained size allows you to wear it with any outfit. Casual or with a shirt it will be just perfect! Even at the gym and in the pool thanks to its screwed crown which allows a water resistance up to 200m! 

The bracelet is pleasant, it is possible to adjust it not only with the links but also thanks to the folding clasp, with 3 additional notches for wrists between two sizes. Which between us is really practical especially when we tend to inflate or deflate the wrist depending on the season. 

Its sapphire crystal is in excellent condition for its age, it has a few micro scratches but really nothing important for a watch that is 19 years old. What else can I say, its superluminova is also in very good condition and in the middle of the night the watch displays good readability, I just regret that the Arabic numeral indexes are not covered with superluminova. 

Tag Heuer is my second favorite brand after Breitling and I can already tell you that I will not stop at just this model! The goal is for the moment set to the legendary Tag Heuer Monaco, either in gray background or blue background. 

To conclude, I am more than seduced by this magnificent Tag Heuer Exclusive 2000 series! 

See you soon for a next review! With pleasure

Keep in mind that specifications may vary slightly depending on the exact model and year of production. If you're considering purchasing one, it's a choice that combines functionality with timeless aesthetic appeal.

My vintage quartz

Hello, One of my favorite watches, because it's complex. Tag Heuer Professionnal 2000 Automatic (200m) from 1987, Heuer/Tag transition (Heuer buckle & crown), chronograph & diver. Small format (Ø38 case / Ø36 bezel), "monochrome" satin gray on all its parts, which gives it a lunar aesthetic evoking John Glenn (first Swiss chrono in space, 1962). To summarize, a great elegance of materials & proportions on a very typical 80' case at TagHeuer, a bit outdated but a taste of come back to it. Quite difficult to find a coherent bracelet for it, but it's finally done. _ I specify that all my watches have a functional purpose, namely to read the time easily; and not a decorative object on my wrist.

The watch of paradoxes

TAG Heuer, a brand that has been associated with motor racing for several decades. I found this beautiful professional full set a few weeks ago. Capricious to get it going again, the quartz movement finally started up again after a session with the demagnetizer. Cosmetically very beautiful for a watch that is over 25 years old, its size of 37mm is ideal for my 17.5 wrist. Its light gray dial makes it very versatile. Its Mercedes hand gives it a little Explorer 2 look. The strap is well made but the buckle is a little hard to open. Remember that it is a diver with the extension for the suit. It is a pre-"Aquatimer" in a way. It is really a beautiful little watch, quite cheap for a Tag. Enough to think you are a grand prix driver.
