Είσαι σαφής.. Αλλά γράψε κάτι και για την αγαπημένη Heuer και το συγκεκριμένο γιατί ξέρω ότι την πας πολύ την εν λόγω σειρά..
Είναι εύκολο να ξεχάσουμε τι συμβολίζει το όνομα Carrera στο dial ρου ρολογιού.
The Heuer Carrera chronograph was launched in 1963, but the real story begins even earlier in 1950 when the Carrera Panamericana car race first ran. Held for five consecutive years, this was an open road border-to-border race in Mexico covering more than 3500km with minimal safety precautions in place. By 1954, the race was attracting professional motorsports drivers, which was reflected in the final 356km stage of that year’s race being won at an average speed of 222kmph. With speeds this high, however, the Carrera Panamericana was deemed too dangerous to organise again with more than two dozen people losing their lives over the race’s five-year lifespan.
Tales of this high-speed, daring and thoroughly challenging event stuck in the mind of Jack Heuer, who assumed leadership of the Heuer watch brand in 1962. Jack Heuer was the the great grandson of the founder of the company, which at that point was well known for producing sports timers, dashboard clocks and, increasingly, wristworn chronographs.
Inspired by the stories of the race, and looking to create a watch that would meet the high-octane demands of motorsports, Jack Heuer launched the Heuer Carrera ref. 2447 just a year after he took the helm of the organisation. Its design was purely focused on the gentleman drivers of the day, with legibility and functionality the key ingredients. The clean and uncluttered dial was housed in a 36mm steel case that featured the distinctive sharply faceted lugs, applied markers and slightly stepped sub-dials. This first design was produced until 1970, in a range of different dial layouts, colours and case materials, before it was superseded by the next upgrades.
