From the looks of it in the catalog : http://www.antiquorum.com/catalog/lots/heuer-lot-282-287?page=8

HEUER, SET OF TWO DASHBOARD TIMERS USED IN THE FILM LE MANS STARRING STEVE MCQUEEN Heuer, serial No. 16.8858. Used by Mr. McQueen to time the cars during the 1970 filming of "Le Mans."

I guess we will never know how Mr. McQueen used these timers, perhaps mounted to a clip board.

It is safe to assume that they arrived to the set with the Heuer watches that Jack Heuer provided to the production...
