Heuer still make dash and panel-mounted clocks if you know where to look some AD carry them. These are a limited edition I believe.
I wouldn't complain if they had used these instead of the fakes.

: Love the decal on the Porsche!! It shows enthusiasm for the
: brand, and there is no confusion that Heuer is sponsoring this
: car or has produced this car.
: On the other hand, the "Chrongraph Heuer" on the clocks
: installed in the Porsches: creates confusion about who made the
: clock (since Heuer used to make dash and panel-mounted clocks
: and timers) . . . check some of the Porsche discussion forums,
: and you see this confusion with people asking whether it is
: available through TAG Heuer . . . e-mail messages that I have
: received over the past couple of years also evidence this
: confusion constitutes a misuse / theft of the Heuer name and
: logo is just plain dumb looking, to my eye (a) in the use of the
: word "chronograph" for a clock and (b) in having
: registers that do not even work / cannot be operated (in the
: case of the Singer installation). Maybe it's just me, but it
: seems so strange to find these clocks mounted in the dash of a
: $200K / $300K Porsche. Maybe like seeing some cheap, aftermarket
: brakes painted bright red, and marked "Brembo" or
: putting the "Cosworth" name on low-quality replacement
: engine purchased at Walmart.
