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.
