History

TAG was formed in 1975.

TAG Heuer was formed as a subsidiary in 1985 when TAG bought Heuer, a renowned watchmaker specializing in racing chronographs. Together they modernised the product line and became one of the biggest names in Swiss watches. TAG Heuer was separated from the group in the 1990s and was acquired by LVMH in 1999 for $740 million USD. [http://money.cnn.com/1999/09/13/europe/lvmh/]
