Footnotes

  • In 1982 Heuer was sold to a group of investors led by Piaget, which at the time owned Lemania. Faced with the competition of the Japanese quartz revolution, the Heuer's in-house calibres 11, 12, 14 and 15 were phased out and replaced with the Lemania 5100 movement.

    In 1984 Heuer introduced its first range powered by the Lemania movement, including two with the historic Carrera name on the dial. In 1985 the investor group sold Heuer to the Techniques D'Avant Garde (TAG) group ending the movement partnership making this one of the models with the shortest lifecycle.
