Brooklyn 7-Eleven cycling jersey from the '85 or '86, so right after TAG acquired Heuer.

From '87 the jerseys would have the familiar TAG Heuer logo.

Air Time: Watches Inspired by Aviation, Aeronautics, and Pilots is now up for pre-order at Amazon (and possibly other places too):

* US - https://www.amazon.com/Air-Time-Inspired-Aviation-Aeronautics/dp/0847869660;
* AU - https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/0847869660/.

The AU site says that it is 'Temporarily out of stock' whereas the US site states it is a 'Pre-order' and gives the release date.

I have ordered my copy and, for once, the AU price, $99.95, is very competitive compared with the US RRP of $85.

I’m hoping there’s a Heuer/TAG Heuer in there 😉

The two covers on top are the ones that I have
(Sea Time & Drive Time) 👍

Take note of the Drive Time Expanded Edition front cover were a Heuer Autavia Re-Edition was clearly seen at the mirror of the convertible 😉 All in all, I’m just super glad that Heuer/TAG Heuer chronographs were featured in these two books.

PS: Sir @Jim Dollares ’s TAG Heuer Formula 1 Red Bull can also be seen in the book 😎

This was his racing overalls and helmet for the Paris-Bercy karting indoor race at the end of 1993. Not a McLaren driver anymore, not yet a Williams driver... just a TAG Heuer driver 👍

Today Delivery was something I've been chasing for quite a while.
NOS Yacht Wrist Timer and NOS Sport Stopwatch. Lucky to find both.
Will be a great addition to my Collection.

Nice Pit garage display for 24h races, for sale at ebay

This seller has a lot of TAG collectibles from (what I believe is) a former AD clearout. Some really nice display stuff, like wall clocks, as well as some unique timepieces.

Snagged a copy of the Autavia: Story of an Icon book (ostensibly still shrinkwrapped)... really shouldn't start a book collection, though. Hopefully it arrives in good condition.

I started with one book in the watch collection and now I have two dozen 😲😲 You’ll love the book sir @flawless ! A Tribute to the Heuer Autavia! The Racer’s Chronograph 👍

I might have to gift it to my brother along with the Aquaracer I got him (he's part of Team BRIT, but loves diving). We'll see when it gets here!

Some light reading:


I had to add this (from the Odyssey of Pioneers USB drive - original is over 70MB and the drive is almost 4GB of photos from the journey)



I picked up the lanyards for work (keys/loupes) but sadly the Carrera one is missing the original files. I've attempted data recovery, with very little success (recovered a handful of images and video). Does anyone have a source for the originals or have the lanyard and willing to upload them?
