Deciding whether to buy a TAG Heuer Formula 1 will depend on your personal preferences, needs, and budget. However, for those who are swayed by a good story and association, let’s start with a little bit of history.
Sporting Background
This brand’s connection to motorsports is long and rich and if your affinity to the sport is the same, then having a TAG Heuer Formula 1 on your wrist is ultimate kudos.
Uhrenmanufaktur Heuer AG ‘Heuer’ was founded in 1860 by Edouard Heuer in St-Imier, Switzerland. The brand has been connected with motorsport since Jack Heuer paid tribute to the legendary and dangerous Carrera Panamericana race in 1963 by launching the Heuer Carrera.
Heuer sponsored the Ferrari Formula 1 team between 1975 and 1978 and in 1986. The new TAG Heuer company began sponsoring McLaren’s F1 cars, and these days they’re working with Porsche.
As a result, the TAG Heuer Formula 1 was released and it is now one of the best known and most accessible of motorsport related TAG watches.
But could it be the watch for you?
