Hi everyone!
Thinking over the trip to Heuer and all the information, I have made a list of 5 of the many things that were new to me:

1. The Heuer Logo was drawn by the accountant of Jack Heuers grandfather.

2. The rarest automatic chrono of the period was the Kentucky (so Jack Heuer and Jean Jaques Racine remembered it)

3. The Monaco was considered a failure and almost nobody liked at at the time.

4. The production numbers of the chronographs were very low (example: 5000 in all for the Monaco)

5. Heuer made 95 stopwatches and other instruments when they made 1 chronograph in the period (1960-80)

Greetings Jan
