Early 80s, so it was gone before TAG bought Heuer. The carry overs were the Titanium, the 1000, 2000 and 3000. The Pilot... the Airline, the Executive and the Golden Hours (which were branded Heuer). That's it... no Carrera, no Monaco, no Autavia.
That's actually a stunning revelation to me, that the catalogue was so small at that time. Not to mention the adored "big names" were snuffed by Jack himself.
Doesn't the Super Professional qualify as a carry over too?

Yes I was just going off the index page... basically anything that you can find with either logo on the dial.

That is an incorrect assumption. Recall that Jack Heuer lost his company in a hostile takeover by Piaget (& Lemania) in mid '82. In the '83 catalogue, the Carrera, Autavia and Monza models can still be seen. Jack had already left Heuer by the time these famous names started to fade from production.

So the Carrera was in the catalogue little over ten years, far from an epic success back then huh
Not sure how you got that. It was about 20 years, '63-'83.

The Carrera certainly lasted a lot better than the Monaco...

For I who can't count, how long was the Monaco a product offered by Heuer?

Dunno I think it was 69 - 76 or something like that. It's not in the 78 catalogue

According to TAG Heuer, the last models were produced in '78.

The original version of the Heuer Monaco was available for less than 10 years, being introduced in 1969 and the last version being produced circa 1978.

Thanks for the clarification, my faith in Jack has thusly been restored. 👍
