: In German I think Tag Heuer means "day
: hour", am I right?

I belive "one hour" is "eine Stunde". You might be thinking of "clock" which I think is "die Uhr". Watch is "the arm band clock" "der Armbanduhr". The day is "der Tag", but I think TAG is an acronym for "Technische d'Avant Garde" which is the name of a company.

Most of this from two years of German I took over a decade ago, so I'm probably wrong on some (or all) of it.

So as to not get off topic, I own a Tag quartz diver watch which I wear for outdoor activities and a Speedmaster which is for work/dress occasions. I love them both, but the Speedmaster is, I think, "nicer".
