TAG Heuer
TAG Heuer was created in 1986 when the Techniques d’Avant Garde (TAG) acquired Heuer SA and changed the brand’s name to TAG Heuer. The new ownership set about revitalising the Heuer range, adding major new models, such as the Formula 1 and the S/el sports series.
TAG Heuer was briefly listed on the stock exchange, before being acquired by LVMH in 1999, where the brand joins Hublot, Zenith and Bulgari as the group’s key watchmaking brands. Techniques d’Avant Garde no longer has any involvement in the company, despite its name remaining.

In Depth Review- TAG Heuer Link Calibre 17
When we wrote our review of the Link last year we noted that for a few years it seemed as though the Link collection was coming to an end.
