: Sorry to not have any more info on the model, though you're doing a
: good job unearthing stuff without any help!

: Yes, I couldn't find it in a '79 catalogue either, though the
: closely related Heuer 13-1 is in the one on OTD:

: Given that the master table gives a price for it, I wonder whether
: this appeared in a price list rather than a catalogue as such.
: Looks like some more digging around could unearth something, but
: I doubt there is much information out there.

: According to my source, the Vj 7734 that powers this watch
: according to the OTD table ceased production in 1978, the year
: before we're looking for it in Heuer catalogues. I guess from
: that it's possible that the 12 was a run-out model using some of
: the last of those movements. The production numbers would thus
: be governed by how many movements Heuer could obtain from
: Valjoux, who would also be supplying it to a number of other
: manufacturers - that could well have restricted the numbers of
: 12s that made it to market. It could also have limited the
: markets it was sold in.

: That table could use some more work it seems - the Valjoux 7765 it
: states is in most of the other watches of the group was only
: introduced in 1983 so can't have been in those 1979 watches. It
: must be one of the predecessor movements; it would be
: interesting to see how they are marked, but I don't have one for
: reference.

: That could also clear up some of the "made in France"
: assumptions. The watches at the top of the catalogue page above
: clearly state that on the dial:

:
:

: Whereas your pics of your 12 state "Swiss made". Looks
: like the whole group have got lumped together and the made in
: France connection has maybe been made to all of them, but looks
: like it shouldn't have been. Heuer was in a fair degree of
: turmoil around this period, with a couple of changes in
: ownership and the records aren't any better than they were up to
: that point! So there's a fair amount of stabbing in the dark
: going on when investigating any of the less well-known watches
: from this period. We know for sure that Heuer sub-contracted
: work to at least Monnin in France for some of the dive watches
: in this period, and possibly other companies there for other
: chronographs. It would also seem some watches were produced in
: Switzerland too, with the 12 being one of them - I think my
: theory of a deal with Valjoux for a job lot of 7734s is a pretty
: credible one, but someone may come up with a better!

: So, sorry not to be able to provide any concrete information, but
: at least there are some ideas and questions in the above and
: that sometimes helps too! Have fun continuing to investigate.

Hi,

I try to find a monnin case for a Heuer Made in France (Heuer Champion) Where I can find ?
