I know it can't be just me and I guess this was sort of discussed in another thread a few months ago posing the question - Your thoughts on TAG Heuer as a brand? Well I have a new question, Why does Rolex get tons of credit for their parachrom hairspring while the watch world questions the validity of TAG Heuer as a brand. Sure, they made Quartz watches... still do, but so do Breitling and Omega. They use ETA based movements in a lot of watches, Breitling, IWC, Omega would never do that though?????? TAG Heuer spends lots of Cash on advertising and sponsorship - Kind of like any big brand in the watch world. And while watch snobs look down their collective noses at TAG Heuer they are busy doing this...
Okay, Okay, Anyone can make an ultra high beat movement that beats at 7,200,000bph, they're already close with 28,800bph, yep, close enough!
But I guess that's all that TAG Heuer has done recently.....
What does Pendulum mean? does it mean that TAG Heuer has successfully created the first watch in history to be regulated without a hairspring, can't be.
Now they went ahead and created a Twin Tourbillon 1/100th Chronograph and instead of stopping there they went ahead and....
regulated both Tourbillon with their pendulum magnetic oscillator.
Have I seriously overlooked something or can the conversation shift toward why TAG Heuer is the most innovative Watch builder in the business?
Discuss, Ha!
