Meet Our TAG Heuer Brand Ambassador

Let us introduce you to Paul Cooper, Laings very own TAG Heuer Brand Ambassador. Paul is an expert when it comes to TAG watches and definitely knows his Aquaracer from his Carrera. He's been telling us all about the Swiss watchmaking masters...

Why is TAG Heuer such a popular brand and what do you like about them?

TAG Heuer is for everyone, from teenagers through to more mature clientele, they are watches for anyone who wants a reliable and affordable Swiss made timepiece. Personally, I like the fact that TAG Heuer offer a wide range of models to suit everyone no matter what their personal style is. The Aquaracer range offers this individual style with ease due to the wide range of materials used and the precious metals featured.

Monaco Special Edition Watch

Which TAG model is your favourite?

My favourite model is the Limited Edition Monaco. The launch of the new ladies Monaco timepiece is a limited edition piece, which featured in the motion picture “Kingsman: The Golden Cirlce”. The Monaco is one of the most iconic watches in the TAG Heuer collection and the exclusive piece is classic, luxurious and unique, it’s a piece that’s bound to make a statement.

TAG Heuer Link Bracelet

What do you think their stand-out collection is?

TAG Heuer’s stand out collection for me is the “Link” collection for both genders. It is an effortlessly stylish timepiece suitable for day-wear and elegant evening looks. Every piece is completed with the classic “S” link bracelet, which is synonymous to this collection.

Do you know any interesting/unique facts about TAG?

An interesting fact about TAG Heuer as a company is that they were the first Swiss made watch manufacturer to send one of their timepieces into space. The piece was worn by John Glenn in 1962 and was the Heuer 2915A.

 

 

 

TAG Heuer Formula 1 Watch

In your opinion what’s the best buy available in store?

Within our fantastic range at Laings our Best Buy has to be the Formula 1 (WAZ1110.FT8023) with a 41mm case. The retail price of £800 means that it is a fantastic introductory Swiss made timepiece for TAG Heuer lovers, and the rubber strap gives it a sporty feel, meaning it’s great for daily wear.

TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 02T

What are the most impressive features of TAG watches? 

The TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 02T is one of the most impressive watches on the market. The tourbillon on this model is one of the highest levels of complications in watchmaking as it removes the effects of gravity on the watches mechanism giving more accurate timekeeping. At £12,600, it is a fantastic price for this type of watch, which is COSC certified and looks fantastic on the wrist.

What kind of personalities are TAG watches made for?

TAG Heuer Connected Modular 45

TAG Heuer is for the extroverts, not the introverts. It is a brand for people who want to be seen and heard, showing off their statement timepiece. It is a fantastic brand that has offered Avant Garde technology and stylish designs since 1860.

What do you enjoy the most about working with watches?

Working with watches is extremely interesting due to the ever evolving technology used in today’s Swiss made timepieces. A great example of this is the new TAG Heuer Connected Modular 45, the first ever Swiss made smart watch capable of full customisation. This ever changing technology in watchmaking means that there is never a dull day working with watches, there’s always something new to learn to develop your knowledge.
