1) Name (or nickname) and location
Mark, UK.
2) In terms of the Heuers, what is the focus of your collection and approximately how many watches are in your collection?
Just the Carreras, from all generations. In terms of the range, it is a "large" collection.
3) What other brands of watches (or other type of objects) do you collect?
The Heuer collection has superceded some earlier watch collections. And I had to remind myself of some collections I had more or less forgotten about in composing the reply, I really am an inveterate collector! As well as some of the usuals like books, CDs and DVDs, I have:
- Autocourse annuals (largely complete, missing a few especially some of the older ones from the 50s in magazine format (when they weren't annuals at all))
- F1 race programmes
- Mineral and fossil samples
- Maple trees
- Various consumer electronic items, notably Sony PlayStation 1s and 2s
- Mostly empty champagne bottles (nothing grand, just Moët, as that's what I grew up watching being sprayed on F1 podiums :) but dating as far back as 1914)
and a number more that are more or less mothballed now. What appeals to me as a collector are things that are very similar but with minor, often iterative, variations and change.
4) Do you own any TAG Heuers, and are they "vintage" (older) or modern?
I do. Again all Carreras; a few years old now but from the modern period rather than the vintage. A CV2111-0 that I wear often, a CV2115 with mother-of-pearl dial for some occasions and, my favourite of all the re-editions, a Jack Heuer 1964 LE CV2117 with lowish serial.
