TAG Heuer has resurrected this year the historic chronograph model made famous by the nickname 'Skipper' during the glory days of Heuer. Like the original Heuer Skipper in the late 1960s,fake watches it emphasizes the by-compact (two-counter) design and colorfully captures sea and nautical motifs, appealing with a different charm from the existing Carrera.
Jack Heuer (honorary chairman of TAG Heuer), who joined the company in 1958, paid attention to various fields, from motor sports that would make him famous later, to skiing and yacht racing, and tried to publicize his excellent chronographs. I did. In 1967, Jack Heuer was with Abercrombie and Fitch as the official timing partner of the American Intrepid boat that competed in America's Cup, the most prestigious yacht race in the world. They offered a number of yacht racing stopwatches (regatta timepieces by current standards) and a wristwatch called the Aquastar with an ingenious red and white countdown timer. In 1949, the innovative nautical wristwatch Solunar, which displayed only the moon phase and tides, was introduced in the 1950s with more durable waterproof performance, a sporty appearance, and a rotating bezel to display various watches such as tides, moon phases, and chronographs. The experience of developing Mareographe and Seafarer, which were used for timekeeping, was particularly helpful.
As a result, Jack Heuer, encouraged by Intrepid's victory over Newport, Rhode Island that year, was encouraged to introduce a new chronograph wristwatch for yacht racing the following year, 1968. At this time, instead of the existing 30-minute counter, it is changed to a 15-minute counter that can count down regattas corresponding to the three 'Pre-starts' in yacht racing, and the white and red (or vivid orange) used in the previous countdown timer. ) color and a vivid blue color reminiscent of the sea was added as a color to divide sectors in 5-minute units to emphasize a sporty impression. The model later earned the nickname 'Skipper', which means captain or skipper during yacht racing, and a total of 8 types of Skipper models were created for 15 years from 1968 to 1983, which later became avid collections among vintage chronograph watch collectors.
Celebrating the 60th anniversary of Carrera this year, TAG Heuer summoned the skipper who raised its reputation not only in motor racing but also in the yacht racing field. ),replica hublot a modern reproduction of the two-counter chronograph, later nicknamed the Skipperera. The iconic 7754 design was introduced in 2017 as a limited edition of 125 pieces in the shape of a dato for the American watch community Hodinkee, but this is the first time that the original has been properly reissued. I think that TAG Heuer, which is passionate about new product development with Frederic Arnault, a young CEO in his 20s, has sharpened his knives and prepared for the long time.
