Driven by Elon Musk, Chairman and co-founder of Tesla Motors, the
TAG Heuer Tesla Roadster made its entry into the Atrium at 22 av.
Montaigne, applauded by over 400 guests. Jean-Christophe Babin, TAG
Heuer's CEO, was there to also welcome Alain Prost, Jean Todt,
Antoine Arnault and Gerald de Palmas, just to name a few.

"If I count all the World Records of which we are so proud, I
reach a total of over 50 patents, which means that every two or three
years we have created a milestone in the history of watchmaking. An
amazing example of continuity and perseverance in innovation through
the generations," declared Jack Heuer, Chairman of the brand. "The
Odyssey of Pioneers is proof yet again of our determination to
constantly innovate, create, reinvent ourselves. Today, we are also
committed to protect the planet," concluded Jean-Christophe Babin.

The Odyssey of Pioneers

On the occasion of its 150th anniversary, TAG Heuer launched a
travelling exhibition of its most beautiful timepieces in March 2010
in Basel. Symbols of an ever-evolving story, they are milestones in
an epic dedicated to innovation - from the oscillating pinion to the
Mikrograph, from the Time of Trip to the Carrera 1887, from the first
dashboard chronographs to the iconic Monaco, it is always a matter of
measuring the tiniest possible period of time. In order to conduct
this road show in the manner of the Olympic flame, the TAG Heuer
Tesla Roadster - the result of an exclusive partnership between Tesla
Motors and TAG Heuer - crossed 3 continents and visited 16 cities,
thus achieving the first world tour with a 100% electric GT car.
