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. I would have never imagined, for example, that watches with Swiss-made movements would move into such a small niche �� only about three percent of the world market in units, in a market of 1.5 billion watches a year. This was unimaginable in my early years.WT:???? Since

My first Breitling...
In 1999, my fianc�� and I walked into Feldmars, in Los Angeles. I was an Omega man, had been since my dad gave me his Speedmaster Professional in 1991...but was curious about Breitling. My fianc�� had a quartz Breitling, and was interested in a mechanical watch.We were just browsing, but spotted two watches of interest...an Old Navitimer II, dark blue dial, silver subdials, on a black crocodile strap, and a mid size Colt on a rubber strap. That Colt was mechanical, though the current line are all Superquartz.We got a great deal on the watches...the Navitimer went for a little under $3K...and left happy.I wore that watch the night 1999 turned into 2000, and on my wedding day and on the night my daughter was born. My wife and I have separated, amicably but irrevocably, but we still share a passion for fine watches.Over the years, I replaced the well worn croc strap with a Navitimer bracelet, then added a brown calf strap last year for a little variety.So, here is my first and ever favo

Is this the time to buy a DateJust?
I've been admiring the new datejust 41. Now that all the pressure is on the ss sports models, is this the time to buy a DJ?Anyone bought a SS DJ with 18K bezel recently and scored a big discount?

I only have one concern about the SS skydweller.....
After finally getting to spend some time with the white dial (which I did not buy), i just have one slight concern- Is it a little too dressy? I do wear dress clothes 5 days a week so not a huge deal but the watch did seem pretty busy esp with the fluted bezel. I'm struggling seeing this watch on my wrist while doing a Saturday morning car wash. Would love your thoughts....thx boys!! Btw-I'm waiting for the blue
