If you’re a fan of expensive watches then the 11 most expensive Tag Heuer watches are watches you’d want to see. Tag Heuer is one of the oldest and most established brands today. They’ve been around since the 1860s and are responsible for a lot of technologies we use. Heuer Watchmaking patented the chronograph and oscillating pinion that most watches have today. It even made the dashboard chronograph that is currently being used by different modes of transportation like cars, airplanes and boats. They’ve also introduced the timing devices used for races and the digital chronographs used by electronic devices.
