Edouard Heuer founded the company in 1860 and patented the oscillating pinion in 1887, a chronograph coupling mechanism still in use today. Heuer timed Olympic events from 1920 and became inseparable from motorsport through the 1960s and 70s. TAG acquired the company in 1985, hence the current name; watches made before then are branded Heuer alone, and the trade treats the two as distinct markets.
