The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

I just received the brand new 126519 in white gold.
This model is magnificent, it marks its territory and paradoxically it is not too flashy except for connoisseurs.
The full sub-dials are much more beautiful than on the steel Dayto.
It is much heavier than the steel Dayto but the Oysterflex bracelet compensates with great comfort.
When trying it on, it is possible to choose between 2 bracelet sizes with the extension system of course.
The case is slightly larger than a classic Rolex.
Not to be worn anywhere...


Exceptional

What a pleasure to have this watch that goes everywhere. With a small budget you can really treat yourself and at the same time it pops.
I hesitated with the superb green but the Tif blue is more suited to my desire for a summer watch.
I bought it for the holidays with its summer color, its lightness and its really nice bracelet.
Surely the best Q/P and pleasure.
Only small flaw for me: I'm not a fan of the butterfly clasp because it is not practical and not micro adjustable but hey given the price...
So we know the arguments: automatic with 80 hours, transparent case back, sapphire crystal, superluminova, 40 which is strangely a little big but it's fine and ABOVE ALL it is an incredibly light watch.
When you are passionate you have to have it in your collection, it is now a "must have"



Summer watch

For everyone at TAGHEUER it's Monaco or Carrera but for me the most beautiful is the AUTAVIA FLYBACK PANDA. I just got it and it has an EXOTIC DAYTO side. In 42, it imposes itself on the wrist with ceramic bezel, super luminova, transparent case back and 80 hours of match reserve

AUTAVIA PANDA FLYBACK

We often need a less flashy watch without looking fake and this SPIRIT ZULU has only strong points in this color:
Mixes of satin, matte and shiny.
A 39 all-purpose.
COSC.
Superluminova.
An anthracite dial with many details that changes color depending on the light.
A sober GMT DATE
Sapphire crystal
Waterproof 100 m
A great Q/P ratio and light.



Retro, sober and rich in details

Great little watch that goes with everything.
The vantage side of this timepiece is really well done.
I really enjoy wearing it because it is also light.
The case is well made.
The diameter of the case in 39.5m is perfect
Aluminium
Glass: Sapphire
Super-Luminova
Power reserve of 63 hours

Vantage-style chronograph for everyday wear

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.
