: Interesting John. Where do you stand on Heuer's pocket chronos?

Mark,

I think the Heuer pocket chronos are very elegant looking. My father collected stop watches so somewhere in one of my zillion drawers I know I have some Heuer timers....maybe I will find a pocket chrono among them. I must admit that I do not know much about them. In fact I don't know much about any Swiss pocket watches except to know that when I can get a good deal on one I buy it and sell it. I guess I have to admit that one of my previously mentioned orthodoxies about pocket watches is that the only examples in my collection and what I know are American made watches. I am not in general an American stuff only purist. I love all sorts of precision machines. However, I caught the watch bug from my father who collected and had eyes for only American pocket watches (the timers were his only deviation). The whole idea of American watches as opposed to Swiss watches and the way they were made and the machines and factories that made them was completely different.

The first wrist watch I ever really loved was an Omega Moon Watch...maybe 15 years ago. I am really starting to like the Heuers. Coming here it is hard not to.

Cheers
