This was my first foray into the world of Heuer.
The original logo just memorized me with its simplicity.
On a family trip to the Gold Coast back in the year 2000, I left the family in the Hotel and when for a quiet walk. Came back an hour later with a $3000 watch on my wrist and a massive grin. Coming from an average family with no history of excess , brands or bling, they all thought I had lost my marbles.
I remember walking into the Watches of Switzerland and seeing the Monaco and Monza on display. Wow, I tried the both on and decided the Monaco was just a little too large for my wrist and walked out with the Monza. Quite Ironic now, as I now own six Monaco‘s.
Anyway, funnily enough the Monza is now too small for my wrist but I will never part with it, as it was a major part of my Heuer journey.
