The Watch

Edouard Heuer founded The Heuer Watch Company in 1860 in St. Imier, Switzerland. Chronographs have been the mainstay for Heuer and later TAG Heuer. In 1963 the first generation of Carrera was launched. Singer made the dials, and Valjoux made the movements just like the Daytona. The name Carrera comes from Carrera Panamericana, a legendary race across Mexico. In 1999 TAG Heuer accepted a bid from LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton S.A.

This Heuer WS2113 celebrates the introduction of the Carrera 3648 in 1964 by Jack Heuer. It is part of the Heuer Classics range and is the re-edition of the Carrera 3648. The polished 35mm stainless steel case has bevel-edged tapered lugs. On the right side, a signed crown. A slim bezel holds a plexiglass crystal. The glossy black dial has an outer minute chapter ring. Printed Arabic, 24-hour numerals, run around the outer edge with applied steel Arabic numerals and batons marking the hours. At 3 o’clock a date window. Sword hands with lume infill, tapered seconds hand and a GMT hand with red triangle making it easy to read. At 12 o’clock, the Heuer logo and at 6 o’clock GMT Automatic finished off this classic dial. On the reverse, Heuer is engraved in the centre with the reference numbers below. Inside an Automatic ETA 2893-2, 21 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour.

Personal Note

This Heuer has really blown me away, from a time when TAG Heuer certainly wasn't doing their best work, yet this incredible timepiece came out! The size is perfect and on the wrist, this really shines, it sits beautifully and works well for him or for her. The simplicity of the design is the highlight, you'll struggle to find a better-rounded GMT for a price like this at this size that's for sure!
