What differentiates one brand from another? Why does the TAG Heuer range currently encompass lines such as the TAGHeuer Formula 1, Monaco, Carrera, the SLR Chronograph or the Grand Carrera? Why is TAG Heuer the only watch brand to offer instruments that are accurate to1/10th, 1/100th and 1/1000th of a second for wrist watches, and to 1/10,000th of a second for timekeeping? The answer is simple: it is all a matter of DNA, just like human beings. The unique combination that makes each person different from another and implies that right from birth we are endowed with certain characteristics inherited from our parents and from their combined DNA.

The couple, both editors for a national daily publication, was drawn to the Courtyard House’s spatial layout and saw major potential in the building.

Some of us have a tough time making the bed in the morning (or perhaps even getting out of it). Coming home at night to messy sheets and strewn pillows, though, is no fun either.
