In 1962, Jack Heuer took over the company his great-grandfather had started in Saint-Imier nearly a century earlier.
Â
By then, the Heuer name was already known in racing and aviation. Since 1911—when car racing was still new—the brand had been making dashboard clocks for cars, boats, and planes. A lifelong racing fan, Jack Heuer saw a chance to refresh the company’s chronographs.
Â
With the Carrera, Jack created a watch that was truly his own. It’s still the chronograph most tied to the Heuer name today. His focus on clear reading led to a dial that was simpler than the Omega Speedmaster or the Rolex Daytona (released the same year). The result was a clean, balanced design with plain baton markers—easy to read, smart, and timeless.
Â
Through the 1960s and 1970s, Heuer became a leader in chronographs, turning out many now-classic models. The brand later hit hard times during the Quartz Crisis and was bought by TAG (Techniques d’Avant Garde), then by LVMH, who carried it into the modern era.
Â
In the mid-1990s, TAG Heuer realized its older designs still had strong appeal and reissued two icons: the square Monaco and the Carrera.
Â
This watch is a faithful reissue of the first Heuer Carrera Ref. 2447N, with a 36mm screw-down case and a beautiful salmon dial featuring three recessed sub dials. The tritium lume on the hands and hour markers adds just the right touch of vintage charm. It’s paired with a Bulang & Sons racing strap, a great fit for the look.
Â
Inside is the hand-wound Lemania 1873 movement, freshly serviced by our watchmaker.
Â
It comes with the original boxes, two booklets, and the guarantee card showing it was sold in Germany in 2003.
Â
Don’t miss this rare and well-kept reissue!
