(03/2010) Founded by Edouard Heuer in 1860 in a small village in Jura Switzerland, TAG Heuer has become the worldwide leader in sports chronographs. This year, the emblematic Swiss brand celebrates its 150th anniversary. For the occasion, TAG Heuer has formed a visionary partnership with Tesla, the Californian electric car brand. Details of this pioneering venture between the two brands will be unveiled at Baselworld. TAG Heuer has chosen IC-Agency, leader in Luxury Digital Marketing and author of the WorldWatchReport™ study, to conceive and launch a social media strategy tied to this historic event. The goal is to offer TAG Heuer, owned by LVMH Moët Hennessy - Louis Vuitton, online visibility that corresponds to the importance of this anniversary and partnership with Tesla.

“We have chosen IC-Agency for their sharp social media skills, as well as the pragmatism of their approach” indicates Françoise Bezzola, Director of Communication for TAG Heuer. The custom methodology created by IC-Agency for TAG Heuer will be launched, most notably, on Facebook: “Analysis by IC-Agency has confirmed that tens of thousands of watch fans, and TAG Heuer aficionados in particular, are active on Facebook and are more than willing to interact with our brand, especially through our Facebook Fan Page” says Françoise Bezzola. “We have to realize that 220 million people connect to Facebook every day and that Facebook is the most downloaded app on the iPhone. This site has become as ubiquitous as Google” indicates David Sadigh, Managing Partner at IC-Agency – and adds “With our studies, we were able to map out the way an exclusive brand can secure its position in the open environment that is social media. It’s the fruits of our research in Luxury Digital Marketing that we will place at TAG Heuer and Tesla’s disposal to create the digital conversation.”

TAG Heuer, who already works with IC-Agency, notably for their search engine optimization strategy, was lauded in 2009 and qualified as “Genius” for its excellence in Digital Marketing in a study by New-York Stern University. The first results of this collaboration will be present during Baselworld and will allow the brand to reinforce its leadership online.

The TAG Heuer AQUARACER 500M Automatic Chronograph

In professional diving, pressure is not just a metaphor. It’s 1,000 kilos a cubic metre. A watch that can withstand this crushing force, not to 50 or 100 but to 500 metres under water, is no more an “accessory” than a diving mask or an oxygen tank. Without it — to check elapsed time, to time safety stops during ascent — you shouldn’t be in the water. (more…)

Water - TAG Heuer`s deepest Design Source

TAG Heuer’s passion for the dreamworld of open seas and the demanding challenges of professional diving and sailing is as legendary as its love for the open road and the world of motor sports. The Swiss brand patented its first water-resistant case in 1895 and launched its first water-resistant wrist chronograph in 1939. In 1942, it presented its first regatta stopwatch, the YACHTING timer. (more…)
