THE FASCINATION OF HEUER-CHRONOGRAPHS Autavia, Carrera, Daytona, Jarama, Kentucky, Military, Modena, Monaco, Monza, Silverstone, Skipper etc. Chronographs from the Swiss watchmaker Heuer are highly sought after and exceptional collector’s items because of their avant-garde design, variety of model series, and high technical quality. This book presents the most important watches of Jack Heuer’s creative period from the 1960s to 1980s, showcasing their dials,movements, and most striking enlarged details. Numerous portraits, racing posters from the heyday of motorsport, and partly unpublished images make this Callwey book a special reading pleasure, particularly for motorsport fans, and remind us of Heuer and TAG Heuer’s close connections to Formula 1 racing. Legends of Formula 1 including Jacky Ickx, Niki Lauda, Clay Regazzoni, Jochen Rindt, Jo Siffert, and Steve McQueen in the cult movie “Le Mans” are showcased with their Heuer watches. A true delight for any watch collector, connoisseur of luxury brands, and motorsport fan.
