As “THE” NUMBER 1 TAG Heuer Enthusiasts (THE) Forum in the World, I’m sure TAG Heuer will listen to his most ardent supporters and diehard fanatics ::rimshot::::rimshot::

Thanks for the effort DC! Hondinkee has two already. C11 is NEXT ::psy::::psy::

Happy to see that there’s already a dedicated thread available, so that I can simple add the interview of Europa Star with NB from earlier this year here:

https://www.europastar.com/the-watc...oving-confidence-in-buying-vintage-heuer.html

They are comically undervalued today! I see some incredible vintage Heuer propositions on the market. We’re not going to step in and push the markets artificially, they should be self-supporting. But we do all we can to improve people’s confidence in buying vintage Heuer. I strongly believe that their value should be comparable to that of vintage Daytonas or Speedmasters.
That’s a weird claim, IMHO, given how large that reference scale is… Hoping that he’s grossly wrong with his believe.

Not the ordinary Christmas colors, I believe that's the not so common Ukyo Katayama edition F1.

A happy coincidence though. Because in the Revolution interview he says he's not really involved in product development and that the current products we're seeing were already underway before his arrival.

New book about the TAG Heuer Carrera, by Nicholas Biebuyck, to be released at the end of August 2023 (348 pages). It looks interesting 👍

On UK Amazon, the book seems to be called "Tag Heuer Carrera: The Race Never Stops" and is £70 pre-order. Release date 9th November 2023.

I have pre-ordered.

Is this the new TAG Heuer Carrera book we've been hearing about for the 60th Anniversary?
I was expecting something similar to the past Carrera, Autavia, and Monaco books that were available via TH Boutiques.

I think the book by Nicholas is a different book.. although it’s written 'Editions de La Martiniere” on both covers 😕

The one called “The Race Never Stops” (attached pictures from one that was announced at eBay, and sold today) seems a promotional book by TAG Heuer similar to the past Carrera, Autavia, and Monaco books (those were not sold by Amazon)

Hmm. It's not very clear is it

Maybe they are two versions of the same book: one with the red cover and TAG Heuer logos as a promotional gift for TH customers, and another version (with a different cover) to be sold as a normal book

But of course the book with the red cover doesn’t seem a 348 pages book (as it’s explained in the Amazon offer for the other? version)

I just saw that too. This is confusing, they both have the same name. On the Amazon US website, it shows the publisher as being La Martiniere/Abrams. The image shared by Albert has the same publisher too, La Martiniere, but no Abrams.

Could be. Or the image above is just a placeholder and the real book looks like the red cover version.

But the red cover book doesn’t seem a 340 pages book at all 😕 (the previous Carrera book by TH has 280 pages and it’s at least two times wider)

Well plenty of time till November to work it out, and if it arrives and I don't like it, it's Amazon, so I can just send it back for a refund.

Good point.

Also, the image on Amazon says "The Beating Heart of Racing". I do find it odd that Nicholas would choose a Bamford looking image of the Carrera though, rather than a Heritage piece, for the cover. The image even has modern style pushers and TAG Heuer shield.

Yes, the cover on Amazon is probably just a provisional cover, but number of pages (340-348) doesn’t match the red cover book… so maybe there is a short version (red cover) as a gift for TH customers (in fact this book already exists, because an eBay seller in UK sold one of them today) and the full version will be sold as a normal book (by Amazon)… or maybe the information about number of pages is just wrong 😗

I remember that there was a -normal- book about Steve McQueen that had a different cover to be a TH promotional book, but it was also sold as a normal book. Maybe it’s a similar case
