Re: My oldest watch
In Response To: Re: My oldest watch ()

Hi Darren,

thanks for the additional information. I had a second look at your pictures and I still must say it's an absolute beauty. Well done! In my opinion it's a shift of interest. The high profile collecting and research startet with the 60/70s watches for most of the collectors and shifts now towards earlier models. That's what we also see at UG, Omega and other brands IMO. I think one reason is that research and getting into the topic is much easier with the 60/70s watches as the brands had developed clearly distinguishable model lines, names and marketing by that time. So it's much easier to get information and to tell them apart. And we have reached a level of knowledge now, that we believe we have seen it almost all so let's move on to something new, interesting and challenging. I'm really looking forward to see what the future of heuer research will bring as I believe there is still a lot to discover.

Kind regards,
Manuel
