Just saw a personal tour to the TAG Heuer museum by Frank Cassidy. It’s pretty wild, worth a check. @frankrcassidy instagram stories.

 

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

Even noticed some 80s quartz pieces that are right up @Aquagraph 's alley.

 

Yep they were there when I went in 2018.


This was what started my obsession with the 3000.

I didn't get to go in the Archives though...

 

Speaking of the '80s, is this considered vintage yet?
Purchased circa '89, perhaps in another 10 years...

.

 

Isn't 'vintage' 25 years old? So yes.

But wait, that means half of my collection is 'vintage'.... oooh I feel a little bit ill!

 

It seems there are varying views when it comes to watches. Some say 25-30 years old, others say pre-'80s is the cut off. I've tended to fall into the latter category in my thinking. But now, I'm starting to feel like '80s watches are becoming or have become vintage too.

However, in the case of TAG Heuer it might be more simple. I suppose many feel that original "Heuer" watches are vintage and anything made by "TAG Heuer" are not. So you're ok. LOL.

 

Thank God for that! Although moving the goalposts to suit your own ends doesn't seem quite right. Well, I guess it's because to me 1980s are my teenage years so to call that vintage suggests that I am not long for this world...

 

I was in my 20s, so how do you think I feel? The goalposts will always move as time marches relentlessly on...

 

Today :

 

Very nice…..

 

James Hunt again.

 

Had to get the family band back together for a collection shot...

@heuerholic hope you'll note the red 1000 that you assisted me with some time ago, same with @Aquagraph and the Kirium...again, thanks to you both.

Still haven't been able to construct an appropriate reply to the loss of Calibre11...

Best to all, M.

 

Cool collection, love that Kahki F1, I used to have that in black. Nice to see a diamond bezel Carrera in there too

 

Red 1k upside down!
