TAG HEUER Watches

   TAG Heuer - Introduced in 1860, Heuer has a long-standing reputation for its chronographs and stop-watches. Indeed, over the decades, Heuer is the brand most closely associated with automobile race and rally timing. In this two-part series, Jeff Stein - a frequent contributor to International Watch and authority on vintage Heuers - takes us on a tour of Heuers from the mid-1930s through the mid-1980s, when Heuer was acquired by the TAG group (giving rise to the TAG Heuer era). Stein presents this tour from the collector's perspective, breaking the watches down into their eras, and commenting on the watches that are likely to be of the most interest to collectors.
