Now that is impressive.

We got a signed and dedicated early proof version of his biography at that one too.

@stuss As a TAG man, you might like this one: Watches Other Than Oakley

It’s my favourite of my Heuers (I only have three from the TAG era, so they’re Heuers to me rather than TAGs.

I’ve posted it on here before. Heuer 1158 CHN, as gifted to Ferrari F1 drivers during the 70s when Heuer was a sponsor of the team. There are some decent returns to be had with the right vintage watches. This was a beneficiary of tool watches in precious metals not being much in fashion at the time I bought but the connection with F1 and Ferrari in particular being so strong.

That is beautifully, tasteful time piece.

The Ali was an impulse buy as it was different, cannot remember actually wearing it.
Must if been memorable wandering around any Tag factory

This was interesting too - the initial prototyping for the most recent Autavia was done via 3D printing.

There's a awful lot of work gone, were you privileged enough to keep the prints.

No, we could handle them but they weren't letting us take them away They wouldn't let us snatch some of the boxes of vintage dials either!

Here's Jack Heuer again in the museum on a 2013 trip.

What a job, great inspiration.
My favourite Tag would still be Monaco worn by Steve Mcqueen, I think it sold for £2,000,000 +

Not a huge fan of the Monaco, I’ll take one of the 1158s like mine but actually issued to a Ferrari F1 driver. TH themselves bought Ronnie Peterson’s, for about £230,000.

I’ve been trying to find the pic of the Alis in the trays, but failing. I didn’t take it myself but I know who did and that hasn’t helped. Your watch might even have been amongst them, who knows!
