Dear friends,
Here’s our last Friday Retro Heuer Gathering photo report.
A meeting dedicated to cars, watches and shared passion to vintage Heuer and watches in general.
A lot of cars indeed either on the Retromobile Motor Show or at the Bonhams preview, a lot of watches too where Heuer, Rolex, Audimars Piguet, Zenith to name just a few met each others.
And finally an evening meeting between us, "Heuer Maniacs" came from several countries and some “Montres Mecaniques” (MM) forum members where the meeting quickly turned into a profusion of watches, all of that in a nice and really fun atmosphere...!
For this evening of multiple profusions, a profusion of photos to share was a must, here it is.
For some of us, the day had started at Retromobile where we’ve been able to admire some interesting examples of watches and cars.
Let's start with the watches displayed on Iris And Jasper’s booth who welcomed us at Retromobile
