Jack Heuer, Father of the TAG Heuer Carrera: The WatchTime Q&A
In 1963, the Heuer watch company (today’s TAG Heuer) released the first Carrera, a chronograph inspired by auto racing, which went on to become an international icon. As TAG Heuer celebrates the Carrera’s 50th anniversary this year, WatchTime sits down for a candid interview with the man who created the Carrera, watch-industry living legend Jack Heuer. WT:???? This year marks the 50th anniversary of the TAG Heuer Carrera, the sports watch that you conceived 50 years ago. Did you think back then that it would become as iconic as it is today?JH:????? In all fairness, no, but when I entered the watch industry, one couldn’t foresee many of the fundamental changes that have happened to it in the years since.

This was unimaginable in my early years.WT:???? Since

Mechanical watch durability.
Here's the latest on my SMP 2531.80 which has been running fast. The watchmaker at my AD said that there's some spring or something that coiled over or whatever and that was what was causing my watch to run erratic. He overhauled the watch and straightend out whatever the problem was and he also said the rate adjust levers tension was fine, nothing there to fix and that the watch is now keeping to +2 sec per day in all positions. He's keeping it a few more days and wearing it as well and then he's going to double check the accuracy on the winder and set it for 0 seconds +/-. He's done this before and it stayed right on the money for a long time. I explained to him what I do at work and he suspects what I'm doing is too violent and causes the problems I've had with the watch. I'm skeptical but there has been a few times where I've gone to set the watch down on a counter or a table at home and missed it completely and my SMP landed face down on tiled concrete. OUCH! It's not like

I just keep going back to the OEM Strap...
I have tried a bunch of straps at &100++ per strap and I find these thick vintage looking straps with large buckles to be very uncomfortable and I keep retuning to the OEM strap I love the look of the dark vintage strap just not the feel on my wrist Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
