:
: Heuer introduced the Carrera chronograph in 1963, so TAG Heuer has
: been celebrating the 50th birthday of the Carrera throughout the
: year 2013. We have seen some amazing new Carreras from TAG Heuer
: in 2013, some of them production models and others concept
: watches. In January 2013, in Geneva, TAG Heuer introduced the
: Calibre 1887 Jack Heuer 50th Anniversary Carrera (which in now
: available in stores) and the Carbon Matrix Composite Carrera, a
: concept chronograph. In April 2013, at Baselworld, we first saw
: Calibre 36 Flyback Carrera, which was soon in retail channels,
: as well as the Carrera MikroPendulumS, a MikrotourbillonS with
: two magnetic pendulums replacing the hairsprings.
:
: Then, last week, TAG Heuer offered a surprise for what may be the
: end of the anniversary celebration, the Carrera Calibre 17
: Chronometer (likely to be known as the “Jack Heuer 81”
: Carrera). [photo below, courtesy of Calibre 11.com]
:
: In addition to these headline-grabbing Carreras, 2013 also saw the
: introduction of some very nice Calibre 1887 and Calibre 16
: powered Carreras.
: There were events and exhibitions celebrating the Carrera in major
: cities around the world and we have also seen some interesting
: “microsites” covering “50 Years of Carrera”, including
: those from TAG Heuer , Watchonista and Calibre11.com .
: Some of us have been chatting and believe that as the Carrera’s
: year-long birthday party comes to a close, it’s time for the
: crew at OnTheDash to celebrate 50 years of the Carrera. Having
: enjoyed our spontaneous birthday party for the Autavia in
: December 2012, everyone knows how we should celebrate – with a
: scan week celebration for the Carrera.
: Here’s the plan: We will celebrate the 50th birthday of the
: Carrera chronograph, starting on Monday, December 16, 2013, with
: a special scan event on this forum, running through Friday,
: December 20th. (Of course, you can feel free to post slightly
: before or after these two dates, if better for your schedule.)
: As part of Carrera celebration, you can: post a photo of your
: favorite Carrera chronograph (or even a group of Carreras), and
: tell us about your choice(s) host a local gathering and share
: some “table shots” and “wrist shots” tell us a story
: about your favorite Carrera – maybe one that you found in a
: flea market or even in the trunk of an old car that you once
: bought tell us something interesting that you have learned about
: the Carrera . . . maybe an item of Carrera trivia or some little
: known fact tell us about your favorite current-production TAG
: Heuer Carrera or about the concept Carrera that you would like
: to see in production show us your favorite Porsche Carrera, some
: item from 1963, “greeters” wearing vintage Carreras, or
: anything else that makes you smile.
: We’ve got almost two weeks to prepare – so choose some
: beautiful Carreras, get out your camera, write up your favorite
: story and prepare your posting. Hey, everyone knows that it’s
: not a real celebration without the OnTheDash crowd!!
