The TAG Heuer watches are luxury watches created by the Swiss. They are very well known for their chronographs as well as their sports watches. The companies motto is "Swiss Avant-Garde Since 1860".

Quartz crystal is among the most commonly used crystals, with popular applications including watch making. In modern watches, a quartz crystal is used to measure time, as the oscillation of electricity, when run through quartz, is constant. This provides an advantage over mechanical timepieces in terms of accuracy and cost savings (although without the exclusivity of a mechanical movement). Quartz crystal is also often used on the glass of the clock’s face, as quartz is more scratch-resistant than glass. Quartz can also be used in jewelry, as it is a fairly hard stone.

Watch faces are covered with crystal to protect the face. The watch crystal is either made of glass, plastic, or synthesized sapphire crystals. Either way, a watch crystal is a component that enables your watch to take abuse without ruining its overall look and function. Sometimes, the watch crystal can come in contact with outside elements accidentally. This leads to scratches and dirt on the watch crystal. Although the crystal is made to protect your watch, you still would want to preserve its appearance. In cases like these, you will need some proper maintenance and cleaning.
