In 2005, TAG Heuer made headlines by bringing out the Caliber 360, the best mechanical chronograph exact to 1/1,oooth of the second. Considering the fact that 90 % of chronographs are quartz and simply estimate time to a tenth of a second, the Caliber 360 heralded a major accomplishment. Of course this has not been the first occasion TAG Heuer had separated itself from the crown; in '02 TAG Heuer garnered much interest with the launch of the Micro-timer, the only digital watch available on the market accurate 1/1000th of a second.
