Season 1: The TAG Heuer Carrera |

In this episode, we travel back to a challenging time for the company, which led to the departure of Jack Heuer from the family business. And the creation of TAG Heuer. A decade later, the strong desire to strengthen the brand identity was finalized by the return of both the Carrera and Jack in 1996 at the Monza Grand Prix.
