like many 70's objects have ! And that's why I love so much this period.

The case has very strong character and in the mean time the dial is not overloaded.

A Very nice one you show us here Nilomis, thanks wink

Cheers,

Mark

Weekend Heuer. Part 6/? - 70's in fullest

 
 By: nilomis : July 20th, 2012-13:51
This week Heuer is a somehow unusual watch, the Heuer Silverstone. Powered by an automatic caliber 12, the Silverstone could be called "funky" and it's. The car racer (at that time there were no true brand ambassadors) was Clay Regazzoni. Here is a pic of...  

Ah - Funky 70's! :)

I need to take a wrist shot of this Slverstone. Then you go to see how funky it is. Cheers, Nilo

Too funky for me, even when I saw them in the flesh, but I think they are something to consider for a Heuer Fanatic! Best, Nicolas

If this is funky ...

Just wait for next weekend. I believe that the next watch is the Funky, and also a Geek watch. Glorious 70's. Bold designs and ... Some bad taste. Cheers and a great week to all, Nilo

They really are a 'time capsule' ...

... and emphasise how many watches before and after we're so bland. I love how these pieces shout their place in time. Very cool watch this week, Nilo. Thanks! Andrew

A picture speaks loudest. Nilomis, FANTASTIC series!!! i am in love with the 70s, though I only collect Omega Speedmasters from that era. I have only one Heuer from those times, but its military. Thanks for your inspiration Best, Horo ...  

Thanks Horo ...

Clay Regazzoni was a very bold driver and the boldness of this watch design is a perfect match for his style. Cheers, Nilo
