Catalogue Essay
Legibility was the most important factor for Jack Heuer when he masterminded the cult model "Carrera". Fitted with the famous Valjoux 7730, the present watch is fitted with a "NST" dial, featuring a black background with white two-subsidiary registers. The watch furthermore displays a tachometer scale, which is quite rare for this reference.
Heuer
Swiss | 1860This iconic chronograph manufacturer has a long tradition of precision timekeeping. As early as 1882, founder Edouard Heuer held a patent for a chronograph watch; in 1887, he received a patent for an oscillating pinion, which is still in use today. These specialized timepieces have been at the heart of the firm's success, enabling the brand to be chosen as early timekeepers for the Olympics. In 1969, the company introduced their first automatic chronograph watch, the Monaco Heuer, which celebrated the Monaco Grand Prix. Other key chronograph models include the Autavia and the Carrera, all of which having become iconic models of the firm.
