I too like this design and LED watches really bring my childhhod back to me (I never owned one but as a 7 year old wanted one badly!). I do remember that my best mate when I was 7, that his dad bought him everything, including a Pulsar LED watch (imagine that when he was 7!) He also had about 50 more Star Wars figures than I did, but let's not go into that!
So how does this piece feel on the wrist, it looks like it might be heavy to wear?
Great pics as usual too...!
Cheers
: A Chronosplit might sound as an unusual and strange addition to a
: Heuer collection : not everyone’s taste, poor reliability
: reputation, UFO-like Heuer piece are some of the factors that
: should keep any discerning Heuer collector away from it.
: I have to say many inputs from regular Heuer enthusiasts reading
: materials led me to this one.
: Articles featured on Calibre 11, beautiful Tiga’s digital Heuer
: watches collection pictures on OTD, period brochures on OTD are
: some of them.
: You can add to these, the recent Hamilton Pulsomatic launch or even
: the TAG Heuer Monaco 69 with its digital screen witnessing what
: could appear as being a (OK, confidential) digital watches new
: trend.
: From a more personal perspective, the curvilinear 70’s bio design
: of the case, the combined LCD/LED technologies and many Heuer
: distinctive aspects (innovation at the time, a real chronograph,
: worn by many period F1 drivers to name just a few) finished the
: job.

: This particular one has been part of Uli Sick’s collection (Uli
: runs http://www.led-forever.com/ ) and as consequence is in
: real mint condition and works exactly as it should.
: To me, this Chronosplit is a real vintage Heuer in its own right
: and is at the right place in my emerging collection.
: Cheers,
