·I kinda wish they would choose Telemeter to be featured there. But well, yeah, any vintage inspired Carrera is good enough. The right size and all that.
I heard the Heuer02 Carrera is a lot thicker though...

The Telemeter would have been a terrible choice. It wasn't that popular, it is not timeless and that glass box...... well, let's not go there!

I watched the Watchfinder video yesterday as well - switched off after the Carrera. It did get me searching eBay and Chrono 24 for "cv2117" 😀 This is another watch that has been on my radar, probably for about the last 7 years, but something is stopping me pulling the trigger.

·Well, if we're including prototypes, I'd like to make a case for this carbon Carrera that unfortunately never saw the light of day but that I shamelessly hogged at the Carrera 50th anniversary event! Unfortunately David couldn't make that but some of you will recognise Jeff Stein of OnTheDash and a few of you might even know Guy Semon, who heads up R&D at LVMH.

side note: The unreleased CH80 was actually what attracted me to this brand. Ironic it never launched. (at least for me)

·I prefer pump pushers vs mushroom and a thinner overral profile, but DAMN both black/white dials have great contrast -- and those red accents are hot. Jeez.

·Much of the dynamic history of Heuer & TAG Heuer all gravitates to this ONE man. The persistence, dedication & innovation of JACK HEUER is for me, the inspiration I’m looking for & what keeps this passion burning for Heuer/TAG Heuer. After the JH85 Autavia & the JH80 Carrera, I knew in myself I’d also want to get a Carrera 1887 Bullhead, as a tribute to Heuer’s roots as a stopwatch maker & to honor this man I regard so highly. I never doubted my loyalty to TAG Heuer and the values it stand for 👍 Cheers to everyone!
JH80 & JH 1887 Bullhead 🥰🥰

amazing pics. And I share the sentiment about the Brand. Without the great mans vision drive and passion I doubt anything of note would exist today. They would likely be an also tan rather than a brand with such a strong legacy,

Appreciate your kind words sir @THJunkie ! 😀 When you read & discover the history of Heuer’s most iconic watch models, you simply can not ignore JH’s immense contribution as a leader & driving force of the brand.
1962 - Autavia (initially as a dashboard timer but became a watch chronograph under JH’s leadership, highly poular among F1 racing pilots in the 60s/70s due to JH’s sports marketing strategy that brought us Siffert, Rindt & Andretti Autavias to name a few)
1963 - Carrera (a creation of JH & has become iconic through its simple & straightforward design, a masterclass in itself)
1969 - Monaco (JH as a testament of avant-garde, patented the first automatic chronograph, first water resistant square case & thru a movie property master became legendary with SMQ’s LeMans)
