: Interesting question Jarl.

: The modern catalogues make no mention of 1864 at all and nor does
: the virtual museum.

: The text for 1860 does change from saying Edouard Heuer opened a
: watchmaking workshop in 1860 to saying he founded a watchmaking
: company. I wonder whether that is the difference - 1860 was the
: foundation of the workshop and maybe the company as such was
: only formally incorporated four years later perhaps? Though the
: 1860 date does seem to be attributed for the foundation of the
: company now too. I guess the older the better when you're a
: Swiss watchmaking company.

: What does annoy me in the post-TAG brochures though, is the
: attribution of everything to TAG-Heuer rather than Heuer. With
: no mention of the time machine that would allow them to do that,
: which you would think would be most worthy of mention... ;)
