Like many drivers, Jenson started his racing career at the karting track. Unlike most drivers however, he became the youngest ever European Super A Champion at age 17. After equally strong showing in the British Formula 3 series, by the year 2000 his acceptance into the exclusive Formula 1 family seemed almost inevitable.
But Jenson’s first F1 years weren’t an easy ride, with frequent team switching and ownership changes testing his mental focus and adaptability to the limits. He still managed to pull out a Formula 1 victory for his Honda team in Hungary in 2006 – their first since 1967 and Button’s first Grand Prix win. But when Honda pulled out in 2008, Button was left without a ride for the 2009 season. Luckily, a last minute management buyout gave him a team - Brawn GP - and the car to continue. It’s a testament to Button’s talent and focus that he went on to win the 2009 F1 Championship, silencing critics.
Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton wear the Carrera Calibre 1887 Automatic Chronograph – a 21st Century evolution of the 1964 Carrera designed by Jack Heuer. The Calibre 1887 is a highly sophisticated mechanical movement produced in-house at TAG Heuer’s atelier in the Swiss Jura Mountains. Beating an impressive 28,800 times per hour, the Calibre 1887’s 39-jewel movement is made of 320 components, all working effortlessly together for ultimate precision.

The contemporary sports watch inspired by motor racing. TAG Heuer never rests on its laurels. In 1887, Edouard Heuer made history with the oscillating pinion. For our 150th anniversary, we have given it new life and re-engineered it in-house, to create the Calibre 1887. In 1964, Jack Heuer himself designed the Carrera series, in honor of the 'Carrera Panamericana Mexico', history's most grueling automobile endurance race.
