Eh, Brad Pitt is in the news of late, that's probably why. If the Pop-Group the Hansen's were still hot they'd probably change the names to them...

: like TimeZone? jealous of Heuer's history?
: jealous of recent uptrend in TAG-Heuer
: designs, innovation and quality? honest

The same things we say here for the most part. We like the old Heuer, the Classics and selected TAG-Heuer's (2000 Series) inbetween. But not many people here like the S/EL or some of TAG-Heuer's Bling Bling models of the 1990's.

In many old-timer's eyes, Heuer lost their way with TAG until the Classics line became popular, and they still don't get any respect...
