Greetings from the Heuer Collectors Summit.

It's late at night, and I need to sign off, but I wanted to get a thread going to discuss the new Autavia, which will debut in 2017.

The big news -- we saw a late prototype in the metal and I believe that most of the collectors who saw it were very favorably impressed . . . favorably enough that they will actually go out and buy this watch!! Yes, it may be a shade larger than some might have hoped, and yes, some vintage enthusiasts may not like the date, but the overall impression was very strong!! Also amazing that TAG Heuer is so open about the plans for this watch -- it began as the Winner of the Autavia Cup, and there we were, looking over the shoulders of the designers, etc. This has the makings of being the "people's choice" in the TAG Heuer line-up.

Good night from Neuchatel!!
