TAG Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 5 300M (WAY2110FT8021)

I found the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 5 300M (WAY2110FT8021) watch too big and too heavy. Also, the hinges on the side detract from the watch. It goes back....sorry! :(

Review by Nelson Mercado, From United States Of America Oklahoma City

After earning an undergraduate degree in Business Administration at Paris IX-Dauphine and a MBA in Finance and International Business at the prestigious Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Luc Perramond became an Associate Consultant at the firm of Booz Allen & Hamilton, before joining TAG Heuer as President of its US division in 1988. Over the next 11 years, he held several leadership positions within the brand and ultimately helped to facilitate its sale to LVMH in 1999, after which he was appointed Vice-President of LVMH Watch and Jewelry.

After leaving LVMH in 2001, he founded and led a luxury goods consultancy firm before becoming President of Europe and Asia for H. Stern.
In 2009, he joined La Montre Hermes as Chief Executive Officer. Under his leadership the company expanded rapidly, developing an in-house manufacturing capability, increasing sales, and positioning itself as a leading player in the luxury timepiece industry.
Mr. Perramond left La Montre Hermes in 2014 to embark on a new challenge, joining Ralph Lauren Watch & Jewelry Co. as President and CEO. In his new role, he oversees the brand's business development strategies within the joint venture with the Richemont Group and is instrumental in building Ralph Lauren's premiere position in watches and fine jewelry worldwide.

Stephane Linder took over the management of TAG Heuer in July 2013, succeeding  Jean-Christophe Babin, who moved to Bulgari. The man from Neuchâtel joined TAG Heuer in 1993, taking on various responsibilities, in particular in R&D and product development, notably setting up the high-end watchmaking division, as well as responsibility for sales in North America.

The departure of Stephane Linder, who "has decided today to resign from his role of President & CEO of TAG Heuer to pursue other professional endeavours," according to a press release issued by TAG Heuer, comes several months after the brand announced redundancies and short-time work, in Switzerland and at La Chaux-de-Fonds.
TAG Heuer, which belongs to the LVMH group, had also previously announced that it was abandoning production of its new in-house movement and repositioning its watch production in the 1,500 - 4,000 Swiss franc price range targeted by Jean-Claude Biver, who is reponsible for the watchmaking segment of LVMH.
 

The name of Stephane Linder's successor has not been communicated.

Jack Heuer, great grand-son of Heuer Founder and Honorary Chairman of TAG Heuer, had a fantastic week-end. The man, whose early interest in motor racing transformed a small Swiss stopwatch and dashboard brand into a Swiss watchmaking legend and an iconic Formula 1 partner, spent the day on Shanghai Grand Prix yesterday and is now taking home some of the best memories of his life.
Fascinated by the world of cars and races, Jack Heuer not only has launched the Heuer Carrera in 1964 or the Monaco in 1969, he also initiated the partnership with the legendary Scuderia Ferrari F1 team in 1971 for 9 years. Thanks to him, TAG Heuer is the first watch brand to have sponsored a F1 team. In 1968, Jack Heuer became friend with Swiss driver Jo Siffert and signed him as the very first ambassador of the 150 years long history of the Swiss Avant-Garde brand. History begins every morning for this man who enrolled with Heuer a stupendous roster of F1 racing ambassadors with other racing legends such as Juan-Manuel Fangio, Jacky Ickx, Clay Regazzoni, Niki Lauda, Gilles Villeneuve, followed in his steps by TAG Heuer with Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher, Mika Häkkinen, Jacques Villeneuve, David Coulthard, Kimi Räikkönen, Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button.

Jack Heuer did not return on a Grand Prix since 2002. He spent the whole day inside the McLaren pit, wearing a headset linked to engineers and technicians: "My best race ever ! It sent me decades back and I could feel my beginner's spirit during the whole week-end". And how better, at 78 years old, could he tie again with this fascinating universe than with a double victory of sponsored team Vodafone McLaren Mercedes, celebrating this year with TAG Heuer 25 years of partnership ?
« I was like a kid in a chocolate factory ! I have lived Formula 1 backstage for several years but this world has evolved so fast… it was like living a totally new experience. Getting to personally congratulate Jenson and Lewis, two world champions, for their win was definitely a highlight of my experience. Meeting with Bernie Ecclestone was also stunning : we had so much to share, me, the old man who lived the early days of Formula 1, and him, who made it what it is now.»

PHILIPPE MARTI

Nonetheless, within these large workshops, people work in almost the same way as the 'Manufactures' of yesteryear, thanks to the system of 'islands' developed by Philippe Marti, director of manufacturing operations. 'Each island comprises three versatile staff members in charge of the entire assembly process (placing the dial and hands, casing-up, testing), which has enabled us to eliminate the monotony of chain work and to enhance quality by a factor of 10, to give members of the island individual responsibilities and to ensure great flexibility. Naturally, we had to train these people to acquire such versatility, but the system has nothing but advantages."
Philippe Marti was able to launch such an exercise thanks to the perfect organization of production. 'We work to tight flow schedules because we have totally integrated the market and its sales forecasts. Through our 17 subsidiaries, we have a permanent overview of our stock available which is of course managed by computer, enabling us to react directly and in time to needs as they arise."

CASES, DIALS, WATCH BANDS

Trained as a mechanical engineer and as an electrical engineer, as well as researcher on supraconductors at the famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and a specialist in industrial management, Philippe Marti supervises all industrial operations. He also performs this role for the various TAG Heuer industrial subsidiaries: CorTech in Cornol, with its 110-b personnel involved in making watch cases; Artecad in Tramelan employing 45 dial-makers; and Artelink in Padua (Italy) with 130 members of staff dedicated to making high-end bracelets.
Moreover, Philippe Marti works in close cooperation with his suppliers and subcontractors. "We develop or modify movements in-house and we often ask our suppliers, such as ETA, for improvements which they apply afterwards to their entire production." We also work closely with Dubois-Depraz in the area of new complications, such as the central minute totalizer hand on our new 'Aquagraph' diver's watch.
The team of TAG Heuer engineers and watchmakers analyzes any new component right from the development stage and a range of more than 60 official tests are applied in order to identify and eliminate any flaw. This work of analysis, improvement and optimization is conducted both in-house and with external suppliers which they consider as genuine partners, enabling them to achieve an almost absolute degree of reliability. 'We do not merely say there is a flaw; we analyze the flaw. Our level of quality is thus among the highest in the watch industry, which means that the return of watches that have been sold is virtually inexistent.'

JEAN-JACQUES RACINE

Each year, 400,000 watches come through the customer care service run by Jean-Jacques Racine

Flaws rejected in quality tests.

The ties between TAG Heuer and the Neuchâtel-based Racine family go back a long way. Jean-Jacques Racine, who manages the brand's entire customer care service, is part of the third generation of Racines to work for the company as a watchmaker. His grandfather began the tradition in 1912. Moreover, each of the family members specialized in split-seconds chronographs, a very difficult complication in watchmaking.
When he began working for TAG Heuer in 1960, Jean- Jacques Racine was making around forty split-seconds chronographs per month until the advent of electronics in the 1970s eclipsed this speciality. Passionately enthusiastic about new developments, the young watchmaker came to specialize in testing electronic modules sent from the United States. He then worked on the first quartz diver's watches in the 1000 and 2000 series, after which he was entrusted with structuring and establishing an efficient customer care service around the world, with its central workshop in Saint-Imier maintaining close contact with each of the subsidiaries.

TWENTY YEARS OF SPARE PARTS

'More and more, owners of antique watches want to set them working again, since they are back in fashion. We have spare parts for models made over the past 20 years, together with a stock of tens of thousands of older parts.
To give just one example, this enables us to overhaul or repair each year a hundred chronograph counters for the Hong Kong firemen who still use them.'
TAG Heuer customer care services handle around 400,000 watches per year. A colossal figure that should be mitigated in that 60 to 70% of this amount relates to battery changes, but which also include an electric test and a water-resistant quality test at 200 meters, at a total cost to the customer of 35 to 60 Swiss francs.

TRANSMITTING THE RIGOROUS SWISS METHODOLOGY

The rest of the care concerns mechanical watches requiring timing, adjustment, an overhaul, a polish or even a change of glass. A mechanism may be thrown out due to a b blow, or in the case of self-winding movements, to an overload due to great amounts of activity, as is often the case with athletes, for example.
Jean-Jacques Racine's work is therefore extremely diverse: for each new model, he has to create tools enabling easy opening of the watch or facilitating the fitting of a new glass.
Above all, however, he is in charge of training the watchmakers working for the customer care service around the world. 'They come from very different countries and it is fascinating to transmit to them our rigorous approach and our working methods, to ensure that TAG Heuer service is as perfect everywhere else as it is in Switzerland.'
