	Oversized Targa Florio’s... The Real Story...
		TAG-Heuer indicates that Fangio wore a Heuer chronograph when he participated in the Targa Florio road race, in the early 1950's, and the company drew on this association in designing and marketing its Targa Florio chronograph (introduced in 1996, as part of its Classic series).
		The first Heuer chronograph to be named the "Targa Florio" was introduced in 1996, as part of TAG-Heuer's Classic series of re-issues; however, the real story of this Targa Florio chronograph begins in 1935, when Heuer introduced its "Flieger" chronograph.
		So it was that when TAG-Heuer relaunched the "Targa Florio" chronograph in 1996, as part of its Classic series, the company drew on its association with Juan-Manuel Fangio and his choice of a Heuer as the chronograph that he would wear during the running of the Targa Florio.
