Lot Essay

Heuer introduced the Carrera chronograph in 1963. Jack Heuer sought to design a chronograph with excellent readability in an interesting case shape. The design of this case was inspired by 1960s modernist architecture and the name was inspired by a legendary (and frequently deadly) car race through Mexico called Carrera Panamericana. The Heuer Carrera became popular due to its simple three register dial with an inner chapter ring (red with the 2447 T) and an elegant, not too large case which feels great on a wrist.
