: I have found some physical proof: here is a photo of a board of
: dials and their associated references from the Heuer factory
: archives. The dials show a Carrera style dial with Zodiac
: printed on it (top right); Heuer have even given the dial it's
: own reference. The dial at top right corner is easy to see, I
: think the bottom row also has a Zodiac dial, but it is a bit
: blurred so I'm not sure - maybe some one has an in focus photo.

: In case anyone needs proof about the board, thirty or forty other
: people can vouch that these dial sheets exist and are from the
: Heuer factory. Probably 20-30 have their own photos of the
: sheets, so can verify that this is not just a nice piece of
: photoshop work (albeit would be easy top do). I hope this is
: sufficient.

: On these board sheets there are also numerous examples of
: Abercrombie and Fitch dials, I don't think anyone questions
: whether Heuer made watches for A&F (there are A&F watches in the
: Heuer museum). From there you have proof Heuer did make watches
: for other companies (admittedly not a Swiss watch manufacturer).
: There are also a lot of dial with no Heuer shield and a blank
: space, presumably to allow different names to be printed onto
: the dial.

: I have one more example which no one mentioned, as it is pretty
: obscure; the first execution Autavia made by Heuer for Kingon.
: Here the Heuer trademarked name (Autavia) is used even though
: the Heuer name is replaced by "Kingon" (on dial and
: back case). The watch is otherwise identical to the related
: Heuer. You can read about it in a good posting by Eric Wind on
: Hodinkee.
