Jack Heuer has confirmed, in an e-mail message, that he presented this watch to Carroll Giblin, circa 1974. In the late 1960s, Heuer opened its second foreign subsidiary in the UK (after its first one had been opened in the US), and Caroll Giblin became Heuer’s sales manager for the UK. The operation started in London, and moved to Chester in 1970. Mr. Giblin resigned from his position in 1974, on which occasion Jack Heuer presented him with this 18 karat gold Carrera. Jean-Jaques Hubacher then replaced Mr. Giblin as head of Heuer’s UK subsidiary.
