·I don’t understand why TH have this obsession with running seconds, it works ok on the elegant but has significantly detracted on some of the heritage models. Is this a feature if the Heuer 02 that cannot be removed?
Im withholding judgement on the curved bezel, until I’ve seen one

·Surely it’s just a case of not fitting the running seconds hand and just leave it running under the dial?

·ABTW coverage of the black... glassbox? Do we call these new ones glassbox Carreras, even though the glassbox models ended with the cbk panda? These new bastards should be called something else... anyway

·On this week’s Worn and Wound podcast, the new Carrera’s get a lot of praise as well as the gold Aquaracers. The Gray Nato podcast had the same praise. Very refreshing.

·Or in person
I saw this particular model in person a few days ago and I thought it looked tremendous! Love the pops of colour and the central seconds hand which is chunkier like those on vintage Heuer models. The removal of the “Heuer 02 80 Hours” text from the dial is also welcome.
Now that we have the 39mm glassbox, I’d love it if the 42mm Carreras referenced 70s models more…there’s such a wealth of beautiful references from that period. Clearly Nicolas also agrees based on the Hodinkee video recently!
The model shown above isn’t far off the below, for instance…

I will say I did like the orange dashes on the outside of the seconds track. But I own an 1153BN, and overall it really isn't close at all

·Literally all of those watches look better in that video than the renders…except one. (Which technically didn’t make an appearance in real life.)
Jim won’t be happy with that comment!
