Tag Heuer - We got your back Tiger.....

[Mr Nobody]

I think since Tiger might be free soon Vince wants him to stop by

December 18, 2009 – Le Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.

TAG Heuer confirms today that it will continue its relationship with Golf n°1 Tiger Woods but will respect his desire of privacy by modifying his role in the coming months’ marketing programs.

Tiger Woods became a TAG Heuer brand ambassador in 2002. The relationship between the leader in prestigious sports watches and chronographs since 1860 and Golf virtuoso Tiger Woods has always been extremely professional and productive.

 “The partnership with Tiger Woods will continue,” said Jean-Christophe Babin, President and CEO of TAG Heuer, “but we will downscale the use of his image in certain markets for a period of time, depending on his decision about returning to professional golf. We will continue to actively support the Tiger Woods Foundation.”



A little less than the headline advertises, Vince.  Maybe they have commitment issues.



POW!  BIFF!  ZAP!!

This is huge culturaly. This is the beginning of the end of marriage as we know it in America.  This is the biggest insult to marriage and monogomy. They are basically saying it is OK to cheat and to devalue marriage.

It kills me, where are all the pro-marriage anti-gay people now? Why arent they saying this is anti-marriage?

[no one]

i bought this one 7 years ago. great watch, keeps great time and have only changed the battery once. not a watch wearing type of guy, bought it for more formal occasions than anything.



this is my engagement present. i will wear this one daily.

Probably cause it involves "straight" folks. Fucking hypocrites.

Wouldn't it have always been there?  He's the face of their company.

It sounds like they'll be moving away from him until things blow over and he returns to winning tournaments.  More to the point tho, as already stated, who wears watches anymore anyway?  Few under 40, none under 30.

You know what they say about a man who doesn't wear a watch?
This couldbe one of the reasons why American males are such slackers, are late for work, engagements. A person who doesn't care about time or keeps track of it, ain't worth the time.

I have various watches, from Tags, Fossils, Bulovas, Citizens. I want to get a Breitling.

Watches will not run very long on me. They all quit working I heard some electro magnet thing in some bodies discharge them I gave up.

A nice watch is the cornerstone accessory for any man. Nice Bentley "NoOne"....I don't have anything nearly that nice, but have a few for diff occasions.

[Rearden Metal]

shredded jawline bro

Haha I like pizza! Once upon a time, I cared...

Damn, I've had several Fossils and Kenneth Coles do that to me. Weird, huh?

Dov, I agree, a good watch IS the cornerstone assessory for a man.
A good one goes well with cufflinks as well, and some shirts have openings within the cuffs just for the watch.

No One, that is the Breitling I want!!! But since I have small wrists all their watches look huge on me.

No non-automatic watch is worth $3800.

I can't get why that Patek Phillipe watch is 240k. I have looked in International Watch Magazine, and some watches like Urtek and wonder who'd pay xxxx for this? Maybe one grand.

Back in 85' or so I got a credit card.  I went out and bought Seiko 300m dive watch and a Tag.  Lost the Tag within just  a few months as someone stool it from my room at the hotel in Palm Springs.  I had the Seiko for maybe 10 years.  the best watch ever.  I love this watch (Breitling) and an old girlfriend bought me one just like it.  Only to never give it to me because we we broke up before she could give me the present.

Now that takes some balls....right on the front page of the website.  Good for them

They're gonna turn off a lot of prospective female consumers

" Tag Heuer approves of adultery " is what they'll see

risky move on their behalf and many women buy watches for their man

This is about money.

I wouldn't buy a Tag because they're crap watches. That being said I'm not lame enough to buy a product and attempt identifying with someone who is paid to endorse it.

Tiger Woods banged some stray ass. Was it wrong? Yes. The fool didn't kill, rape, torture, spill oil, drop bombs, raid retirement funds, etc... keep shit in the proper perspective.

thats why i don't wear the Tag anymore- it looks really small on my wrist.

yeah, that breitling is a nice piece.

[uberman09]

oh gawd not another one of these "I'm a gangster look at my crooked hat and gang sign" fucking loser wannabe's.  YOU'RE A WHITE MAN YOU WORTHLESS IDIOT, act like one.

rearden has all of the cliches wrapped in one big retard with 0 personnality.

[polychronopolous]

I have bought 5 dollar Casios from yard sales that keep better time than any of the above posted watches.

[Samourai Pizzacat]

Here in Holland watches are worn by everyone, it's a definate fashion accesory. The oversized watches are very trendy now. Most will still reach for their phone to check the time though, haha.

here's mine:

[Captain Equipoise]

That Breitling is giving me a hard on... Tag used to be a good brand, coincidentally enough they 'fell off' right around the time they started working with Tiger, they have always been a wannabe Omega anyways

now brands like ESQ are passing Tag by, lol

In my opinion Tag only ever had one nice model, I used to own one...then sold it when they're name went in the trash..

Fact: big expansive watches like cellphones cars etc are a phallus replacement /substitute for men who have issues with their virility and/or sexuality and penis size.

they dont know how to prove to themselves and others they are " real men " without these accessories.

fixed.

Parker, I was riding the train to a cubs game this summer (don't ask, i didn't pay for the tickets), and I saw a black guy sleeping around 11 am on the train, then he woke up and looked at his watch and went back to sleep.

his watch was on upside down.

exactly.  I still cannot believe how much attention this is getting, and they have the "NYPD blue" ring every time they show his face on TV now.  He fucked outside of his marriage and they're acting like he suicide bombed a preschool.

that doesn't make sense

prove that connection

I would have to translate for you the most recent french psychology books I have read lately, but I 'm pretty sure there are american versions/translations.You ll have to find by yourself.
Not only it's a common known stuff in psychology but it's also obvious and logical by anthropological standards.

These objects are masculinity symbols, that replace the beard and "moustache" and the walking stick of men of the last century. They are new phallic symbols
and the more you show them off the more it means you have covered or obvious issues about your own virility and place in society, at work and essentially with / towards women.

[oldtimer1]

I can't believe how many of you wear $4000 Breitling watches!  I would love to see pictures of your cribs and rides. 

Just a thought.  The jewelry store by me said the market is being flooded with fake Rolexs and Breitling made in China.
