Vintage racing chronographs by Heuer
Heuer stands for
vintage and retro racing watches. The chronographs are characterized by their avant-garde design and their masculine, distinctive style. Most
Heuer watches are vintage watches from the 60s and 70s that are characterized by their precision and functionality. Some lines were released later, when Heuer already was TAG Heuer, and are to be understood as a tribute to the chronographs of the earlier times. The
newer Heuer watches are visually modeled on their ancestors, but equipped with modern calibres.
The most popular Heuer watch series
- The Heuer Autavia Mario Andretti was dedicated to the racing legend Mario Andretti in 1966 after he completed the fastest qualifying round of the Indy 500. The vintage Heuer watch is still a real eye-catcher with its brown leather strap and black bezel.
- The Heuer Camaro looks similar to the Carrera, but differs by its slightly larger, pillow-shaped case. This vintage Heuer watch from the late 60s owes its name to a contemporary: The iconic car Chevrolet Camaro.
- The Heuer Monaco is named after the famous Formula 1 race in Monaco. Like the race, the watch stands for luxury and adventure. With its square case, it was an eye-catcher when it first appeared in 1969.
- The Heuer Monaco Steve McQueen is a real star: this is the model that actor Steve McQueen wore in the movie "Le Mans" – and has become an absolute iconic model among motorsport and watch lovers. In 1998, a tribute to this original model of the Monaco was made, the Monaco Steve McQueen Edition. Visually, it is almost identical to the original watch, only a newer calibre was installed.
- The Heuer Temporada is dedicated to the eponymous race in Buenos Aires. It was only produced between 1972 and 1975, making it a true rarity! A fibreglass case and a metal bezel give it a special old school look.

Investing in used and vintage Heuer watches?
To
invest in vintage Heuer models and no longer produced series can be quite worthwhile. These often experience an increase in value over time. As Heuer has not actually produced any watches under this brand name since its merger with the TAG Group in 1985, Heuer watches are particularly popular with collectors and enthusiasts. Few retro lines have been launched on the market since 1985, even with the Heuer logo. They are just as popular with fans of the chronographs.
The history of Heuer
Edouard Heuer founded the watch brand at the beginning of the 20th century in the small town of Saint-Imier in the Swiss canton of Basel. A first milestone was the development of the
micrograph in 1916 - the
first stopwatch that could accurately stop time by a
hundredth of a second. The development of such
high-precision chronographs became an integral part of the company. So it is not surprising that connections to various sports emerged. Heuer was the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games three times since the 1920s, until the company was replaced by Omega in 1932.
With the assumption of the company management by
Jack Heuer, the grandson of the company’s founder, the
connection between Heuer and motorsports. began. Enthusiastic motorsport fan Jack Heuer dedicated many series to famous car racing or racing drivers: Monaco, Carrera, Temporada - just to name a few. Partnerships with Ferrari and McLaren played their part in developing the watches iconic status among fans of various disciplines. This part of the Heuer story started in the '60s with the development of the Heuer Carrera in homage to the most dangerous car race in the world: The Carrera Pan-Americana. In 1965, Heuer needed the
microtimer a chronograph that could stop exactly to the
thousandth of a second. In 1971, Heuer was the
official timekeeper of Formula 1. One of its most famous appearances was not on the racetrack, but on the big screen:
Steve McQueen wore a blue and white
Heuer Monaco in the movie "Le Mans" from 1970.
After being acquired by the engineering company Techniques d'Avant Garde (TAG) in the 1980s, the brand finally got its current name
TAG Heuer. Nonetheless, there are still a few
retro series from Heuer that appear under the original brand name. These are in the look of the vintage Heuer watches, but equipped with modern calibers. A famous example is the
Heuer Monaco Steve McQueen Edition, which pays homage to the actor's iconic watch and was launched in 1998.
