IT IS VERY INTERESTING THAT WE HAVE ABOUT 7 PIECES OF THESE WATCHES EVEN BY THE CAMARO MODELS FROM PORRENTRUY SCHOOL WATCHES ,
WE HAVE EVEN ONE 18K GOLD HEUER MONACO WHICH IS NEVER WQAS IN PRODUCTION MADE BY MASTER WATCHMAKER FROM HEUER AND USED BY HIM .MANY COLLECTORS DONT KNOW THE VALUE OF THESE UNIQUE PIECES . WE HAVE AN CONNECTION TO THE HEUER WATCHMAKERS FROM 1970IES THAT THEY ARE GIVING THESE INFOS. FOR MANY COLLECTORS THESE WATCHES ARE NOT INTERESTING FOR THEM WHICH THEY WERE NOT BUILD BY HEUER COMPANY BUT FOR US THESE ARE THE PLACES WHICH THAT TIME THE PROTOTYPES ARE BORN AND IF AN WATCHMAKER WHO MADE HIS SCHOOL BY THE SOLOTHURN AND AFTER WORKED BY HEUER MR.LAVINGIA PRODUCED HIS OWN CARRERA THAN FOR US IS AN HOLLY GRAIL BECAUSE HE WANTED AN OWN HEUER CARRERA WHICH WAS NEVER IN PRODUCTION
HERE I AM ADDING A PICTURE
: Thank you for sharing this information with us. All the Solothurn
: watchmaker school watches I have seen have the school name on
: the dial (see my example below). I have seen 4 examples, two
: Heuer Carrera 1153's (mine and Arno's example) and two others
: which were not Heuer based. Clearly, Heuer supported the school
: in some fashion by providing parts so this gives some credence
: to this latest “discovery”.
: Besides the name on the movement which I assume can be
: authenticated should someone care to invest the time to do so,
: there is little else to support the claim that it is a Solothurn
: school watch and not some kind of franken as was the conclusion
: when the watch was first shown on the forum. I am not suggesting
: it is/is not what it is purported to be but rather opening up a
: possible debate on the subject. Hopefully the current owner will
: seek out this A Lavingia who I assume would be the perfect
: person to corroborate the story and thus provide a valuable
: provenance for what could be a very interesting watch.
