Episode 29 - The History and Watches of (Tag) Heuer
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 авг 2018
- In this episode, joined by Nick Farrell of DC Vintage Watches, we discuss the complete corporate and manufacturing history of Tag Heuer, known simply as Heuer before 1985. From its conception, the brand has focused on innovation in precise time keeping, eschewing pushing the boundaries of complication in favor of the boundaries of precision; at one point producing mechanical stopwatches capable of measuring in 1/1000 second increments. We take a look at some of Heuer's most iconic models, and their relationship with motor and yacht racing, and examine a bunch of watches from their current offerings.

Nick is a great addition, he is well spoken and tries not to speak on something he's not certain of. I genuinely loved this episode. Thanks for this one!
Very kind of you! Thank you :)
Cool to Come Across this Video , but will watch later woke up in middle of the night ----- have a Heuer 1000 bought around 1984-85 in military when overseas , been stored away for almost 30 years just got out few months ago put in new battery and replaced band
I love the 4000 series esp the professionals... iv owned both quartz and autos... great watxhes
Tag still makes new Senna watches today, they aren't half bad!
My first Watch and Listen to be paired with a full elliptical workout...and recovery... Bravo!
This was a really good episode. Nick has a fucking terrific collection of watches. Seiko's and Heuer's galore. Also does Cameron have a cold or did you guys throw some gain on his voice or something? He just sounds deeper and clearer than usual. I really look forward to my shift ending on Wednesday mornings so I can change out the work Casio Pathfinder for a nice Seiko Pogue, crack a beer, pack a bowl and kick back with you guys. Thanks for another successful informative show fellas.
Nick has brought some awesome watches to the show. I really want one of those crazy colored stopwatches now, not sure what for, but I want one. Was just getting over a cold. Back to my normal voice next week!
I wasn't as drawn to the plastic Tag Heuer's but those metal stop watches. I'm right there with you on what to use it for though. Timing steaks maybe? Being sick in the summer is like a shin kick. Get well soon dude.
i was really looking forward to listening to this whilst in the car.... as podcasts go, these are the worst without youtube
Beautiful Bell-matic. Next watch I'm picking up after I can find a Seiko Navigator.
Sean Cirillo you'll love it! That microphone doesn't do the bell justice. Mine is much louder and school-bell-esque in person.
Cool video I love Tags Huer history !
Hey, I had an Omni GLH ...fun to drive
Thanks you so much bro. Im like your videos
Very cool episode and huge fan of the vintage Heuer Chronos ... just not their prices. Rolex is the official timekeeper for F1 these days however TAG Heuer has a close partnership with the F1 Red Bull Racing Team.
Why no mention of the 844 Diver from the 70's which is quite sought after now especially the earlier French cased Heuer Monnin Reference 844 with the FE4611A movement which is reputed to have saved the company?
Given Heuer's immense catalog, wasn't room for everything, unfortunately
I always love Cameron's face in these podcasts, it's somewhere in between wtf is going on and damn my watches are better quality than these
If your looking at mechanical alarm watches you should look at the Tudor Advisor from the early seventies. They are great and I beleive to be one of the first.
Классное видео
I hit like immediately after whatup fools
1:11:20 You guys skipped right over the Mikrogirder in 2012 which measures in 5/10000 of a second increments. That's just showing off, but it's incredible to watch!
Please do AP!
Thanks for the video guys! Very neat to see some of those old watches. I didn't know about the TAG side of the company. Matt - you keep interrupting your guests and Cameron when they start talking about something more technical or niche. Those are the nuggets of information you have them on the show for and you should learn to recognize when to stop talking so they can tell the story.
Regarding the Pendulum, look into the Citizen Cosmotron.
Redman has related that when Ickx was on their team as a young man, they referred to him as the Brussels Sprout...
OMG super
I have a few friends who did watch repair for a while, and they always warned me against Heuer claiming the quality of the movements was poor compared to other similarly priced Swiss watches. I noticed that other than discussion on the chronographs, you guys didn't really talk about their movements very much. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks for another great show!!!!
I can't speak to Heuer post TAG buy-out, but preceding this, I am a fan of their movements and my own personal Heuer's have held up rather well
Thanks!
did you give Cameron a different mic? He sounds different
Matt or Cameron, the cam150 code isn’t working on crown and caliber’s site. Any idea why that is? I need that monza in my life..
Just bought a CR5111 as well. I have a super small wrist and it shows well on it. The exhibition caseback and the lined face is so much better in person than the video shows. Would definitely go for it but just make sure it's had a service thus far.
It's Rolex, the official time keeper of F1.
58:40 It's Rolex
That's right! I couldn't get that Hublot Bernie F1 advertisement out of my head to remember that Rolex took over :)
Those Senna bands were considered very cool in the 90s...they did not age well.
jimf42 Ha! Very much agree
wow super super
Matt, you mentioned that the Omega Speedmaster isn't water resistant. Were you talking about a specific Speedmaster? I was just on their website and it says it is resistant up to 5 bar. I know that's not deep but I feel like that would survive a pool. What am I missing..?
I think Matt was talking more to the fact that the Speedy does not have a screw down crown and the pushers should not be depressed under water. They are water resistant and should be fine in the pool, but not great if you are doing anything in the water that might bump the crown or pushers. Better to go with the Seamaster if you plan on doing water sports or activities.
Wow kruto
Does Cameron have a cold? Sounds different, but I can't quite tell why
Was just getting over a cold, back to the normal voice next week.
My BellMatic is (I think) a lot louder than yours. Might need a service.
PieterA mine is louder too!
Don't know why it sounded like that on the recording? In person it was as loud as any other we've sold.
Механика ?
Klass
Nrav)))
Why so much dislike for the Tag and Breitling brands?!
Alexey Seilanov , what do you consider strong brands?
Tackiness is the real problem. They kind of look cheap and tasteless
Henry Kincaid , really ?
I don't find Breitlings attractive, but I'm a bit of a sucker for TAG Heuer. Probably because of my fanatic following to F1 and motorsports. Lot of guys my age love TAG as well. I think they are aiming at my age group now, younger age group from college graduates who are about to get their first real, fat paycheck or promotion to
"STEVE MCQUEEN'S NOT CULTURALLY RELEVANT" - Matt Farrah on Bullit Mustang ... Proceeds to talk about how culturally relevant Steve McQueen is. Lol
First
Current F1 official timekeeper is Rolex
I have been checking out your videos randomly... The conversations are interesting, but the camera game is really weak! Really!
Journe. Just talk about Journe for 3 hours please.
That watch is fucked. Don't buy it.
