Hi everybody,

interesting discussion. I'm in the Heuer than and not in the TAG-Heuer camp.One of the things that strikes me is that most of these good old Heuers have been made without the assistance of computer technology. You can't say that from any modern watch. Not one stage between design and production is done without computer technology.Design, calculation, production of the components. I guess the assembly part is the most important stage left to be done by hand.

The more you think of that, the more you admire the achievements from the 60's and 70's and earlier.

Also for that reason I would not support that they market the new re-editions under the brand Heuer. Heuer should stand for good old fashioned, hand-made quality time pieces ( say Hoy-er, please do not say TAG-Hoy-er!)

I will send a photo of my 1963 Autavia to Jeff. Maybe he can add it. It's 100%man made! Guaranteed no computer intervention.

P.S. Do not take me for a computer hater!I am just learning to appreciate what men also has achieved without them.
