TAG Heuer is a Swiss watchmaker known for its sports watches and chronographs. It is a division of luxury goods company LVMH. The company motto is "Swiss Avant-Garde Since 1860". The Tag Heuer company has its roots in 1860 when Edouard Heuer founded a watchmaking company in St-Imier, Switzerland, patenting his first chronograph in 1882. In 1887 Heuer patented an "oscillating pinion" still used by major watchmakers for mechanical chronographs.
The lines include Formula One, Aquaracer, Link, Carrera, Monaco, and Grand Carrera. Most models feature quartz movements, water resistant cases, and sapphire crystals. Tag Heuer has been the official timekeeper of the three Summer Olympic Games of the 1920's, the Skiing World Championships, the Formula 1 World Championship, and the Mclaren Formula 1 team. Some of the more recently announced models include the Monaco V4 (the movement of which is driven by belts rather than gears); the Carrera Calibre 360 (the first mechanical wrist chronograph to measure and display time to 1/100th of a second); and the Monaco 69 (with both a digital chronograph accurate to a millisecond and a traditional mechanical movement, with a hinged mechanism allowing wearers to flip the watch between its two separate dials
