JACK HEUER - THE MAN BEHIND THE ICONIC BRAND
2012 will be another year of anniversaries for TAG Heuer. It will be 50 years since the launch of the Autavia series and 30 years since the launch of the 2000/ Aquaracer series. But more important than those two anniversaries, is that it will also mark the 80th birthday of Jack Heuer, the great-grandson of TAG Heuer founder Edouard Heuer.
Take a look at today's TAG Heuer range and you see what an impact one man can have on a watch company. The Carrera, Silverstone, Monaco and Aquaracer series were all designed and developed during Jack's twenty years running Heuer from 1962-1982.
His time as CEO of Heuer started suddenly when he was working for Heuer in New York. He received a call from his father one night saying that due to a family dispute, control of the company was about to be sold outside the family. Jack Heuer rushed to the Airport for the next plane back to Switzerland and within a week had secured the bank funding needed to take control of the company. At only 30 years of age, Jack Heuer would be CEO during the most exciting challenging and ultimately heart-breaking period in the company's history.
In 1964 Jack Heuer launched the iconic Carrera and followed five years later with a range of watches built around the world's first automatic chronograph movement - the legendary Calibre 11. That range of watches included not only the Carrera, but also a new "concept car" style watch to showcase the new movement - the Monaco. Not only did Jack Heuer lead the development of these legendary automatic watches, but he also understood the importance of quartz, with Heuer also pioneering digital watches, such as the Chronosplit. It was also under Jack's leadership that Heuer developed its series of diving watches, including the TAG Heuer 1000 series and the 2000 Aquaracer.
But all of these great watches were developed in a context of great uncertainty - a combination of low-cost quartz movements from Japan and the appreciation of the Swiss Franc against the US Dollar meant that the Swiss watch industry was in danger of collapsing. In 1982, Jack Heuer lost control of the company, when the banks stepped in and sold Heuer to Piaget/ Lemania, starting a chain of events that would see the company sold to Middle Eastern investment house Techniques d' Avant Garde (TAG).
Jack Heuer left the watch industry in 1982 and built the European marketing arm of a Hong Kong based consumer electronics group called IDT (Integrated Display Technology Ltd), which today employs more than 5000 people. It wasn't until current TAG Heuer CEO Jean-Christophe Babin invited Jack Heuer back to the company as Honorary Chairman in 2001 that Jack was reunited with the company started by his family. His role today is not just as an ambassador, but as someone who gives feedback on new watches, for example, playing a significant role in the development of the Grand Carrera series.
Few people have contributed as much to a watch company as Jack Heuer has to what is now TAG Heuer, so you can bet that TAG Heuer will mark his 80th birthday in style. The rumour is that a special 80th Birthday edition watch will be released as a tribute to the man whose vision and values remain embedded in TAG Heuer today.

Autavia 11063 GMT
Heuer Autavia 11063 GMT, Cal. 14, c1984/5
What can I say, this is an amazing timepiece. This is THE 11063 that is featured on Davids fantastic Cal. 11 website. Those regular and long time readers of Cal. 11 will know this watch well. Bought in decent condition by David, and restored to perfection with the greatest of care, by master craftsman Abel, this is one very special watch.
Heuer GMT’s aren’t that common, when compared to other models but this later 11063 model is exceedingly hard to find. I don’t really know why, maybe it was because the 11063 range where launched during the early/mid 80′s, when the fashion was not traditional timepieces. Either way, this model is perfect for me. I love the 60′s & 70′s Heuers, but there is something about the 11063 case that just appeals to me. Many prefer the 1163 and 11630, for their classic lines. I agree, and love them too, but I also love the tough, large, tool-like shape of the 11063 case.
Click here to see it in the 1985 Catalogue via On The Dash
I could write forever about this GMT, but as it is well documented over on Cal.11.. so I’ll keep it short and lazily supply the links to the Cal. 11 articles.
I do like watches that have a meaning, a history, a story. This one ticks those boxes… I remember reading about it on Cal. 11 and looking upon it with envy. It’s appeal lies in not only my love for the case, but the toned down grey sub-dials on black, the wide whaite main hands, the patina’d 24 hour hand, the fact that Abel restored it, David owned it, and that it was present at a dinner that David had which with Jack Heuer, who commented on the condition of it - I believe Jack even handled it. All this makes it very special in my eyes, and gives it a quality that can’t be bought.
I’d like to thank David for allowing me to take it off his hands, I promise to look after it, and I really appreciate it’s story. Thanks DC.
