Vintage Heuer Carrera

The Simple Design of 1960's Heuer Carrera

The first Carrera released in the ‘60s was a tool watch that prized legibility. It's as minimalist as any chronograph made at the time and even avoid the busy scales and tracks that often cluttered driving chronographs of the day.

Jack Heuer had studied electrical engineering at university, and he carried an engineer's sensibility through to the watches he created.
