Delight Your Dad
With Something Really Special

Delight your Dad with a gift that's as remarkable and reliable as you know him to be. After all, the best gifts are those items that you'd never buy yourself, right? That's why a quality timepiece makes for such an ideal present to give this Father's Day. Think of it as a modern take on the age-old practice of passing down a classic watch to one's son. This twists that tradition and reverses it. The good news is that, with any luck, the watch you so carefully selected for Dad could be yours—one day.

And when it comes to heirloom quality timepieces, it doesn't get more classically cool or ruggedly handsome than TAG Heuer. The Swiss watch brand has a reputation for quality craftsmanship and a unique blend of timeless style and modern technology. Founded in 1860 within a workshop in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, Edouard Heuer made history by developing the oscillating pinion—a revolutionary approach to coupling the separate elements of a chronograph function and a chronometer that's still used to this day.

In 1916, Heuer introduced stopwatches capable of measuring time to 1/100th of a second. Half a century later, a Heuer stopwatch became the first Swiss-made timepiece to go into space when John Glenn took one on the first manned American space exploration in 1962. The following year, the brand introduced the now legendary Carrera, cementing its place in the sporting world. So which watch is right for your father? Here are four solid picks we'd suggest.
