It's always a great moment when the visitors make the decision to post the first message on this Forum . . . welcome!! And you are making your debut with a fine looking chronograph!!

Over the years, the meaning of "S.A.V.I.C" has been a great mystery, for me and others who collect the vintage Heuers. I have seen the name on a variety of stopwatches and handheld chronographs, but have never been able to learn anything about the meaning of the abbreviation / initials.

I have always imagined that S.A.V.I.C. is the abbreviation of some European automobile club (parallel to the S.C.C.A. -- Sport Car Club of America), but I have not found a single shred of evidence on the subject.

Who can solve this mystery?
