This month, Esquire magazine interviews Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of Tag Heuer watches. In this role he has made innovation his number-one priority for the Swiss watch manufacturer.
“One of the things about [Tag Heuer] that made people very loyal to it in the 1970s was its technological innovation,
especially in the field of mechanical movements,” Babin tells the
magazine. “But then in the ’80s and ’90s, the company was innovative in
design and communication, and technical innovation was put in
parentheses. You can’t do everything, right? So beginning in 2000, I
wanted to invest heavily in R&D for technology.”
The initiative has paid off in both the mens watches and womens watches segments for Tag Heuer.
The dividends of that investment in watch technology have been most
visible recently with Tag Heuer’s blockbuster releases–first, the
Calibre 360, and now the Carrera Mikrograph,
the first-ever mechanical chronograph to record and display elapsed
time to 1/100th of a second with a central sweeping hand. Tag Heuer
watches’ Mikrograph also has a transparent back that lets you see the
movement, beating at an impressive 360,000 beats per hour, at work.
Now in his second decade as CEO of Tag Heuer watches, Babin and his team are developing brand extensions that include men’s eyewear and mobile phones.
