To celebrate its close links with the world of motor racing and its F1 partnership with the team now known as the "F1 RED BULL RACING TAG HEUER TEAM", Tag Heuer presented yesterday its exhibition at the Geneva International MotorShow.

Biver CEO of Tag Heuer, Jack Heuer Honorary Chairman of Tag Heuer and Maurice Turettini President of the Geneva International MotorShow.
