Hi All,

I take advantage of this post to talk about sport watches in Ferrari.
As some of you will know I work in Ferrari GES (GEstione Sportiva, that is the racing dept.) and sadly I must admit that Heuer is unknown there, at least among people working in my ambient (that is people working at dyno benches, R&D benches and electronics and engine department, don't know exactly the situation among people who go on racetrack for races) because all the persons who worked there in '70 have obviously gone in pension and there are a lot of young people that haven't this "mechanical watch"culture...

I saw a couple of times some expensive Hublot at the wrist of big managers but for the rest there is a lot of Omega Speedmaster that have been given as gift from Michael Schumacher during his golden age (my boss has two, the black with orange accents and the creamy dial 2007 one), in my office all the people who have worked with Michael Schumacher have at least one (Michael is a Lord and gave so many watches to everybody, also totpeople not directly involved in racetrack operations, If I'm not wrong the 2007 limited edition made for Ferrari is a lot of 500 watches...) but many of them don't know the value of that watch...

But sadly no one (and I tell no one) knows Heuer, except the few people working everyday with me for obvious reasons.
The only other Heuer I saw is a Monza wore occasionally at the wrist of a son of an old mechanic working in '70, but is in poor state as his father wore it for 40+ years (and still works :-) ).

For the rest Heuer there is forgotten and this makes me a bit sad.

Best.
