Often asked about his favorite Heuer watch, Jack Heuer has several times responded publicly the Heuer Carrera reference 1158. The weighty 18k yellow gold case could justify such a choice on its own, but the true reason for Heuer’s pick is much more interesting. This specific Carrera might actually represent the apex of Heuer: not only does it offer its first automatic and in-house chronograph caliber, but this watch is also deeply linked with Heuer’s involvement with the iconic Ferrari Formula 1 team and the very best drivers of the 1970s. The fascinating story of those watches can often be read in caseback engravings, which display the name of each watch’s adventurous owner, and this Carrera 1158CHN about to be auctioned at Kaplans is no exception.
