: Heuer did not make movements, cases, dials and hands . . . Heuer
: purchased these components from other companies.

: Heuer did manufacture each of the chronographs shown below, from
: Zodiac, Clebar, Dugena and Primato. There were many other
: "brands" that purchased watches and chronographs from
: Heuer. Of course, there were many Zodiac, Clebar, Dugena and
: Primato watches that were not made by Heuer. That's where the
: "valued-added" / expertise comes into play -- knowing
: who made what.

: For what it's worth, I am not interested in proving that you are
: wrong; I am interested in sharing information about vintage
: Heuer watches (and other watches made by Heuer). So feel free to
: continue with your questions.

: Jeff



Thanks very much Jeff. I appreciate that.
I have been a watch accumulator for about 15 years. Never cared much for chronographs, until recently. I'm trying to learn, but trying to learn the truth and not just hearsay. I do have a hidden agenda. I want to build a chronograph from various parts. The more I know, the better job I can do.
You mentioned Jack Heuer's autobiography earlier. Any particular pages I should look at for the info I'm seeking?
