Intended for professionals, TAG Heuer’s Specialists models reflect more than 140 years of expertise. The Pilot chronograph provides the essential calculations for navigation by land, sea and air. Cut from a single block of steel, water-resistant to 1000 meters, equipped with a screw-in crown and unidirectional turning bezel with large ratchet, the 1000 M is designed to withstand extreme depths. The Searacer chronograph, developed with professional sailors who include Chris Dickson and Pierre Fehlmann, offers totally new functions : the countdown ''Regatta'' (10, 6 or 5 minutes), the restart function and the 1/10th chronograph function. Stretching beyond one''s limits. The TAG Heuer image has always been closely associated with that of high-level competition.
The oldest watch manufacturer in the world, Vacheron & Constantin was founded in 1755 by Jean-Marc Vacheron, a 24-year-old Geneva cabinotier, or watch craftsman, who dared to venture out and open his own workshop. Vacheron made pocket watches for the likes of the kings of Rome and Naples, but he also peddled cloth and even seven-year-old cherry acqua vita to augment sales. A Chronometer is a high-precision timepiece which movement, after rigorous testing, has received an official timing certificate from and official timing bureau. Watches providing additional measurement functions to the hours, minutes and seconds are referred to as "Complications". The best-known complication watches are calendar watch, the most common of which display only the date.
At the time, mostly pocket watches were produced by Swiss watch manufacturers as manufactures still had difficulty to produce accurate and reliable movements in such small size that they would fit in a wrist watch. The first waterproof watch was cleverly advertised around the world. At the time, the public was rather skeptical if the watch would be really waterproof. However, after seeing a watch in an aquarium in the shop window, many people were convinced. Around the world one could see windows of watch shops with an aquarium and submerged Rolex watches. This campaign created an enormous brand awareness for Rolex. Since then, Rolex has continued to be be at the forefront of the watch making industry. Today, almost every watch manufacturer followed Rolex and offers waterproof watches.
