The company, then known as Uhrenmanufaktur Heuer AG was formed in 1860 by Eduoard Heuer in Saint-Imier in Switzerland. In 1985, Techniques d'Avant Garde, better known as TAG, a Luxembourg-based holding company that helped provide Porsche engines to McLaren (and retains a large shareholding in McLaren Group), purchased a majority stake in the company and renamed the watchmaker to TAG Heuer. Then in 1999, French luxury goods conglomerate LVMH bought a near 100% in the company for $740 million.
