S.A.V.I.C. / Great to Understand the Meaning
In Response To: Re: Jeff, Jack Heuer knows what S.A.V.I.C is.about *PIC* ()


Beautiful watch, Filip!!

It is wonderful to finally understand the meaning of these mysterious letters. Still, it is something of a disappointment (for me) that the letters stand for a corporate distributor of stopwatches and timing equipment (like Fisher, here in the US). There might be more glory to it, if the initials had represented something like FIA, NASCAR, SCCA (sports car club of america), USAC (sponsor of the Indy 500), or something racing related.

It's always great to learn more about these things!
