Heuer - Carrera 12 Türler
Heuer - Carrera 12 Türler
A very attractive, rare double-branded vintage wrist chronograph first execution with red tachy scale, delivered to the Swiss jeweller Türler in Zurich Ref. 2447 T, Cal. Valjoux 72, Case No. 53868, Dimensions 35 mm, circa 1965, Origin Schweiz Case: Steel, screw back, Heuer buckle. Dial: Two-tone silvered. Movm.: Manual. In the 1960s and 1970s Heuer sold a few of their timepieces through several renowned watch retailers and sometimes signed the dials with their name. This wrist chronograph boasts a marvelous original dial with the co-branding "Türler" signature, the prestigious Swiss company specializing in luxury watches; their signature is also found on a number of important watch brands such as Omega, Rolex, IWC and Vacheron Constantin. Co-branded Heuer chronographs are extremely rare today and only very few examples are known. This Heuer Carrera chronograph, reference 2447 T (where "T" stands for "tachymeter") is in untouched condition. It has a beautiful two-tone silver-coloured dial with sunk subsidiary dials and a red tachy scale. The tritium luminous material of the hands has acquired a beautiful cream-coloured hue; the case has – even with some slight signs of age wear – preserved its wonderful charisma. Heuer launched the Carrera chronograph in 1963; the model was available in approximately 110 variations until the 1980s. The Carrera featured more variations than any other Heuer timepiece – such as manual wind, automatic or quartz movement, gold or stainless steel cases, with or without chronograph indication. Case: very good, worn, later crown. Dial: very good, slightly oxydized. Movm.: very good, capable of running, cleaning recommended.
