Limited Edition of 1,932 Pieces
Happy Birthday Mr. Jack Heuer! On the 17th of November 2017, Jack Heuer will celebrate his 85th birthday. To celebrate this, TAG Heuer is launching a limited edition of the famous Autavia.
Jack Heuer created the original model back in 1962 and was present at the TAG Heuer manufacture's workshops to share his expertise and make his "mark" on the model, which dives deep into the story of an icon. This new reissue, limited to 1,932 pieces in reference to the year of Jack's birth has been designed by Jack Heuer himself.
In reference to the Autavia, Jack Heuer said: "The story of the Autavia is a rich drama, full of twists and turns. It is one of my proudest achievements to have successfully converted chronographs into the Autavia wristwatch in 1962, so this collection has a special place in my heart: It was the very first timepiece that I designed, and today I am proud to present the last watch that I have created!"
