A wristwatch is more than just an accessory. It is one of the most sophisticated and convenient ways to tell time. But out of all the luxurious watches available online in Singapore, TAG Heuer is the most sought-after of them all. Thus, if you are planning to buy it for the first time, here are some facts that you need to know.
1. Founded in the 1860s
TAG Heuer has been around for 160 years. Its watch craftsmanship has been handed down generation to generation. And recently, it has been hands down to Jean-Claude Biver from Jack Heuer.
2. Once Used in Olympics
Their watch craftsmanship invented the first-ever stopwatch that could measure 1/100th of a second. Due to its high precision in measuring time, it has been a timekeeper for three Olympics, from 1920 to 1928.
3. First Swiss Watch to Visit Space
You read it right! TAG Heuer is also the first Swiss watch that has visited the Space. It was worn by John Glenn when he orbited the Earth three times. It acted as a backup stopwatch throughout his mission in 1962.
4. Made the First Water-Resistant Automatic Chronograph
It took them four years to complete and perfected this. But ever since then, they made sure their watches are powered by Chronomatic Caliber 11. It is one of the reasons why TAG Heuer Aquaracer and TAG Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 5 are so popular to divers and first-time buyers.

Even before Steven McQueen popularised TAG Heuer, it already had an entire line of watches suitable for Racecar Drivers. TAG Heuer ensure their products can withstand the harsh environment of racing and other sports
6. Won Several Awards
They also won the iF product design, competing against 2,200 watch brands for two consecutive years. In 2010, they again received another recognition by winning La Petite Aiguille.
