Nice watch mate, I am currently wearing my F1 Tag as I type this. Love it, one of the best looking watches I've ever seen imo.

Hardly ever wear my F1 Kirium these days, but when I do, does feel special.

I do think TAG have reduced their quality. My 2001 F1 digital/analogue Kirium is solid machined stainless steel and is heavy. The new stuff look like thin pressed cylinders in comparison.

Not according to Wikipedia, they market tag heuer watches but they are owned by LVMH or Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessey.

Yes you are right, Swatch supply the movements that go into TAG's
Don't think there are many watch makers left that actually make their own watches 100%

There's actually an increasing number of watch makers that make their own movements and complete watches now that Swatch Group are limiting the supply of ETA "standard" movements

Actually, selita just took the market left behind by swatch when ETA stopped supplying movements to 3rd parties outside of the group.
These are clones of the eta movements but still swiss made and supposed to have the same quality

May be true to an extent, but doesn't alter the fact that many watch makers that relied on ETA and other ebauches now make their own movements, partly for supply reasons and partly because it is perceived to be a sign of haute horology, eg Omega, Panerai, IWC

If they tell the time and are accurate, who gives a sh!t who makes them. Seems to be too much brand awareness going on; a bit like wine connoisseurs.
