Hello,

the week is almost over, so I had enough time to think about the theme. Reading a very nice story from Raticosa and seeing fantastic pictures from all of you was a great pleasure.

So what is the essence of Heuer for me? At first of course a watch. And I choose a Carrera. A simple flat white Carrera with a lot of patina. It's quite an early example and stands for the roots of Heuer. A classic, nice looking chronograph with a fantastic movement. Very inventive and different to the chronographs you were familiar with in the 50s. The patina stands for heritage and tells the story of a unique timepiece. Last but not least, the perfect legibility. As Jack Heuer told us in LCdF this was one of his major goals while designing the Carrera.

I took the picture while the Carrera was placed on a printed picture of another Carrera. And this picture is simply beautiful to me and shows the art we also see in the timepieces. This picture was taken by our pro photographer. This refers to the strong community we have here. All that together makes the Heuer watches and this place what it is...

Thanks for reading,
Manuel
