No Box & No Papers

Great HEUER (not TAG-Heuer!) Carrera 12 option available now!
There is always something very special about a vintage HEUER.
My very first watch was a SEIKO chronograph, but I can’t remember the reference. I was about 9 or 10 years old…

My second watch I ever bought was a TAG Heuer Carrera…. I wasn’t as into watches then as I was a few years later, but still…. Heuer is special to me.
There is such a great nimbus around vintage racing chronographs, where a Carrera ticks a few extra boxes in my heart.

Introduced in 1963, the Carrera is a motorsport chronograph and is one of the most popular series in the TAG Heuer collection.

The watch was conceived by former CEO Jack Heuer, who named it after the notoriously dangerous Carrera Panamericana race of the 1950’s. He set out with the goal of making the most legible and practical wristwatch when driving, one that was capable of timing laps and calculating speeds.

The result was a minimalistic design, shedding anything that would hinder functionality and legibility when on the track. Heading into the 70’s the Carrera evolved in a period many collectors regard as its golden age, adding a self-winding movement and experimenting with bolder dial designs. The series was discontinued at the height of the quartz crisis in 1984, a year in which Heuer were sold to Techniques d’Avant Garde (TAG) and the watch collections were restructured.

The Carrera eventually made a comeback in 1996 and has remained a staple of TAG Heuer ever since. The watch is available in a variety of colours, complications and sizes whilst remaining true to the guiding principle behind the original design.
