Heuer is a pioneer in sports watchmaking. Particularly in motorsport, with models such as the Carrera, the Monaco and the Autavia.
This watch is the result of a collaboration between this famous Swiss company and the French firm Monnin.
In 1950, Heuer decided to concentrate on the manufacture of chronograph watches. It also established itself as a leader in precision timekeeping. Since 1946, Monin had been producing equipment for the watchmaking and micro-technology industries.
Together they designed the 1614 chronograph.
This model was an entry-level model aimed at a younger, more modest audience, with a more modern and daring style.
This collaboration also gave rise to the Heuer 844 diver's watch.
