I have just bought a Heuer Chrono LCD (see my 10/05/03 posting - Is this the worst Heuer ever?).

This is illustrated in the 1979 Heuer catalogue as model 980.010

There are some similarities with my 'mystery lcd' as follows.

1. Model numbers are very close.

2. Again Heuer logo only on LCD display surround and not on module or bracelet or clasp.

3. Modules on both are Swiss made and look to be from the same manufacturer.

4. Both watches are marked 'Swiss made' - I guess because the case strap and modules were all produced in Switzerland.

The Kentucky and Manhattan both have Swiss cases and straps but the modules are not Swiss which is why they are marked 'Assembled in Switzerland'

The Manhattan analogue module was produced by Citizen who may well have made the LCD modules.

A couple of questions.

1. Can anyone add to this ?

2. Did Heuer produce watches (with the Heuer name) that were not illustrated in their catalogues.
