Slightly Off Topic / Verona


All this talk of racetracks and Cal 12 Heuers reminds me of an unanswered question: How did the Verona get its name? Is there a racetrack nearby (if so, it's not so well-known) or did Heuer decide to take a break from the racing theme (Siffert and McQueen) and move toward romance (Romeo and Juliet)?

The Verona is one of my favorites -- with its clean lines and smaller case -- but I have always wondered about the name. Any explanations?

Next, we can discuss the Kentucky (horses race there) and the Pasadena (best known for the Rose Bowl -- parades and football games)!
