No more Heuer Heritage I guess. And if you looked at the Heuer archives and pick watches which have deep historical and cult impact, I would probably say TAG Heuer has already spread all their “heritage” cards. I’m basing it with the Croswaith & Gavin Heuer books. The Heuer Superstars book features all the important ones. And pretty much the “re-editions” have been done already except for a very very few 😉
I don't think so, where's my Carrera 7753SN Ford v Ferrari Panda re-issue!? (Please don't say the Telemeter, it's not even close.)
There's a lot they could do. The Monaco Dark Lord is the obvious one. A proper Siffert re-edition is another, no the C11 version does not count (wrong case style), nor does the the 2003 version (it just doesn't look right). The Ronnie Peterson Carrera was awesome, but too limited, we need something more attainable for the masses. That's just naming a few.
We could all dream of what we want but re-issues/re-editions that are already alluded to or inspired by from vintage watches have been mostly done. The Dark Lord done with Only Watch Monaco and somewhat with the HourGlass version. Why will they release another one at this time?! Siffert done with Calibre11. Ronnie Peterson done and also with what Ronaldo has. JH88 is inspired by the Ferrari x Heuer Carrera Gold panda champions watch.
And this is the state I've been at for awhile, transitioning to originals. I know you will buy another TAG eventually, as will I, but still. Nothing in the current and future offerings really grabs me.
Unless I could get number 0002 on that Heritage Monaco 73633B release, one heartbeat after yours of course😁
I do think there's too much focus on the old in the watch world. There are some fantastic modern watches out there,
and this continual debate over like-for-like re-editions vs heritage inspired is distracting us from the real issues - uninspired design across the TH range. Autavia 3 hand, 43mm all-the-shapes aquaracer, mall-watch carreras - at best these are lukewarm and uninspiring.

you don't see anyone moaning that the F1 is no longer an F1 because it's not 35mm and not made of resin....
This is funny. The other day I was thinking how I will be in 35 years. Commenting on things all the time "that is no true formula 1, in the early 10's we had proper designs, true to the F1 spirit, just look here at my Red Bull F1 you morons" 🙄
and the next comment I write is about why the CAZ101U is "the only true Max Verstappen watch, since this is the only watch Max designed himself"
aaaaand so on. I think as we get older, each generation glorifies a certain period back in time, depending on how old you are. There is no guarantee that the moldy designs from the 60's and 70's will be what enthusiasts praise the most in the year 2055
Why should they. But this is what Frederic was saying about McQueen, his appeal will not last forever...
Fo sure! I am not young but I have only seen one Mcqueen movie, and it was insanely bad 😁 just ask any young people today if they like Steve McQueen and they gonna look at you like you retarded. Relying on a person whose audience will eventually be dead, literarily, will of course not work for ever.
This is why Omega is so brilliant with James Bond. This fictional character can live forever and be renewed, ensuring that a young audience of fans keep the status of the name hot.

Also, whatever happens in the future, even when they are dead, the Apollo 13 astronauts will still be famous. Well, not the one who stayed in the ship.... Mikey was his name?
for some reason 1960 is the beginning of all time when it comes to watches
It's funny isn't it how vocal the 'vintage' crowd are about modern interpretations being all wrong, but you don't see anyone moaning that the F1 is no longer an F1 because it's not 35mm and not made of resin....
Seeing it in the window, I didn't really get a 3000 vibe from it, more of a Link vibe. I think its the steel bezel...
The bezel is what gives off the 3000 vibe to me, at least in pictures. I hope to see one in person soon.
It doesn't have those S links, so not sure how you're getting a Link vibe.
