1949: Solunar - the first wristwatch with a permanent tide indicator

Season 2: TAG Heuer and the ocean |

In this second season, we explore TAG Heuer’s intimate connection with the ocean. We turn the clocks back to 1949, when Heuer was creating watches for Abercrombie & Fitch. Discover how a watchmaker, a physics teacher, and a passion for fishing and mushroom hunting led to the birth of the Solunar, the first wristwatch with a permanent tide indicator.
