Garbage Or Good Watches To Buy? - Inside TAG Heuer's Factory: GIAJ#14
Переглядів 797,562
4 роки томуIn today’s episode of Gentry In A Jiffy (GIAJ) we take an exclusive look inside the TAG Heuer factory and museum in Switzerland, with one of the Gentry’s most frequently asked questions in mind: are TAG Heuer watches good watches to buy or a waste of money?
To find the answer, I delve into the history of their watches, see their most iconic watches being made and try to understand why some watch enthusiasts do not like the brand. Join me as I tackle this controversial subject in true Gentry fashion!

A few years ago , my wife started doing overtime at work , working Sundays etc. She wouldn't tell me why. Turns out she started working overtime around July to buy me a Tag Heuer F1 watch , she knew I liked that particular model think it's caz1110 , and worked her backside off to get me one. Neither of us had well paid jobs and it was a major effort from her to get me it , so for me on both looks and sentiment , I love the Tag Heuer F1 watch.. Nice balanced video , mate 👍

I started my first paid job in my last year of high school, soon as I could legally work in a bar (18yo where I live) so I could work long hours and build up overtime pay on Sundays. I always wanted a T/H and that was my goal with my first purchase from my own salary. Anyway 19 months later of working 3 nights in a row to 3am, on top of finishing off my high school studies and senior school sporting commitments, whilst being medically diagnosed as an insomniac, I got my Tag Heuer F1 Chronograph. I was almost 20 by the time I got it. I'm now 40 and I still have the watch and it functions perfectly after just having a major service done. It serves me as a constant reminder that hard work always gets rewarded and to never be afraid to work my absolute arse off to earn something I want in life.

@thethirdman225 3 роки тому
The trouble with TAG Heuer isn’t that people are trying to tear it down. The trouble is that the advertising is so relentless that people get sucked in without first looking around. There are lots of great watches out there and alternatives are think on the ground. TAG Heuer are a brand which has become an embarrassment. Having said that, I would never tell anyone not to buy one if that’s what they really want. I would simply encourage them to look wider and make sure of what they really want. Owners are not the problem here.

My Dad left me his 1982 Heuer Pasadena to me when he passed away, and it is my most cherished watch, and one of my most cherished possessions. He wore it every day of his working life from 1982 until around 2010 when he retired. Watching him tap it on his palm to wind it every morning at the breakfast table is one of my favorite memories. That was THE watch that started my love of watches. It has been serviced only one or two times in its near 40 years, and still keeps perfect time. Incredible watch.

Well, I got rid of my cheap watches and I'm down to 4 watches, that's my collection. Omega, Tag Heuer are the more expensive ones. A nonbranded quartz watch I bought over 20yrs ago, it has sentimental values, also its a Breitling homage but looks great... the 4th I might shouldn't mention. It's my fitness watch. That's it. I sold all my cheaper watches, I had a collection of Invicta, Seiko, Swatch, Pagani, Citizen aso. I barely wear them, so decided to let go.

A very thoughtful video on the brand of Tag Heuer. Well informed and evidence based giving us a snapshot of the brand's factory. As pointed what is important is the overall contribution of Tag Heuer to horology, motorsport and respect what the people in the company have achieved over the decades. Yes some mistakes and regrets are inevitable in any company of such scope and long lifetime but overall Tag Heuer is one of key players in mechanical watches.

Love my Aquaracer, classic diver. simple design and calibre 5 movement has been flawless for 5 years. Ready to send it in for a good cleaning and maintenance.

I love my Aquaracer. It's in the shop having some work done on the bracelet and I can't wait to get it back. Makes me feel like a kid anxiously waiting for Christmas.

They always interest me some of the Tags in the two watch shops in the mall I walk thru, I like the style of some of them, some.

Thanks for the information, I’ve just started looking at Tag Heuer watches and really like the Aquaracer calibre 5 which is about as much as I’m prepared to spend on a watch. I never realised there was so much ‘watch snobbery’ about. But I know what I like and know my own mind. I also like the Oris Aquis so it’s a toss up between the two. Thanks, I’ve just subscribed too.

Buying the watch for yourself and not others' opinions is great advice. These videos about the heritage of watchmaking companies are very educational in an enjoyable way.

Hey, I made a few bad decisions in the 80's/90's, impressive factory and I love the Monaco.

I haven't taken my aquaracer off my wrist since Christmas. Wifey did good. I look forward to a carrera in the future but the aquaracer I'm confident I can do anything with it

Tag heuer was the first luxury watch brand I paid attention to, my dad always talked about getting one when he finished his time in the Royal Navy. He got one when he left and that is the main reason the brand has meaning to me.

What a wonderful connection to a brand, those one are always the best. A special thanks to your father for his service and to you for sharing the story. Best regards, TGV

Great review of one of my favorite watch brands! Always so much negativity by other watch reviewers. It was nice to see the insights of how they are made and how much effort is put into the quality control.
