A long-time fan of and participant in the sport, he knew exactly what was needed: a wide-open, easy-to-read dial and a shock-resistant and waterproof case tough enough for even the most intense road wear.\u00a0 <br \/><br \/>He also had in mind the ideal inspiration: the \u201cCarrera Panamericana Mexico Road Race\u201d, the world\u2019s most grueling open-road endurance competition. <br \/>\u201cI first heard about the Carrera from Pedro Rodriguez at the Twelve Hours of Sebring, where I was the Official Timekeeper. He and his brother Ricardo were two of the fastest, smartest and bravest endurance drivers of all time. To hear them talk of the Carrera, which our brand\u2019s longtime friend Juan Manuel Fangio had won in 1953, but which had been stopped in the 1955 after a number of fatalities, made my imagination soar. Just the sound of the name itself - elegant, dynamic, easily pronounced in all languages and charged with emotion. I knew then that my new chronograph was the perfect tribute to this legend.\u201d\u00a0 <br \/><br \/>He knew what the look and feel of the watch should be too. Inspiration came from a range of innovative ideas, including many from early 60s modernism - the geometric purity of Oscar Niemeyer\u2019s new architecture, for example, and the curving, sensual lines of an Eero Saarinen building or chair, and the clean, uncluttered aesthetics of Pop-Art. At the same time, the Carrera\u2019s iconic design values are firmly rooted in the enduring codes of motor sports, such as the black & white of vintage dashboard counters or the perforated leather gloves favored by Juan Manuel Fangio and his contemporaries. <br \/><br \/>\u201cI was excited by the new forms, materials and techniques just then coming into play. We were after something that took advantage of these, that was just as new and audacious, but at the same time sober, simple and motorsports-driven, stripped of all ornamentation, classic and timeless.\u201d Jack Heuer. <br \/><br \/>The first Carrera chronograph was the stunning black and white \u201cPanda\u201d edition with tachymetre. An instant must-have watch of the top racecar drivers in Europe and America, it is now one of the most coveted watches among luxury watch collectors.\u00a0 <br \/><br \/>Then, in 1969, the patented Carrera Chronomatic Calibre 11, the world\u2019s first automatic chronograph was unveiled, changing the course of watch design. The name - a combination of the words \u201cChronograph\u201d and \u201cAutomatic\u201d, is among the most fabled in Swiss watchmaking history. Equipped with a 12-hour and a 30-minute counter, and the famous oscillating pinion invented by Edouard Heuer in 1887, the chronograph was outfitted with a special patented excentric regulator setting and moveable spiral block, which allowed for very precise regulation and the smallest error in the timing, even under the most extreme conditions. <br \/><br \/>During the 1970s \u201cQuartz crisis\u201d, the Carrera not only survived, it excelled, with a series of popular quartz editions that demonstrated the brand\u2019s continued preeminence as a pioneer in the Digital Age. <br \/><br \/>Among the star pilots to wear a Carrera over the next decade were Ferrari drivers Jackie Ickx, Clay Regazzoni, Mario Andretti, Carlos Reutemann and Jody Scheckter.

DESCRIPTION
- 50 Years of Carrera
CARRERA, FROM 1963 TO NOW: ACCELERATED TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN SAVOIR-FAIRE TIMELESS MOTOR-RACING PRESTIGE
Speed, emotion, glamour: A half-century after its dramatic arrival on the motor-racing scene, the iconic CARRERA, the first sports chronograph designed specifically for professional drivers and sports-car enthusiasts, remains the standard-bearer of TAG Heuer’s unrivaled motorsports pedigree - a perfect synergy that began with Time of Trip (1911), the first car dashboard chronograph, and continues to this day through the brand’s ongoing partnerships with the best individuals and teams in driving disciplines around the world.
CARRERA: THE HISTORY
In 1963, Jack Heuer, the man responsible for some of the most groundbreaking advances in sports timekeeping, turned his attention to the specific needs of professional motor-racing drivers. A long-time fan of and participant in the sport, he knew exactly what was needed: a wide-open, easy-to-read dial and a shock-resistant and waterproof case tough enough for even the most intense road wear.
He also had in mind the ideal inspiration: the “Carrera Panamericana Mexico Road Race”, the world’s most grueling open-road endurance competition.
“I first heard about the Carrera from Pedro Rodriguez at the Twelve Hours of Sebring, where I was the Official Timekeeper. He and his brother Ricardo were two of the fastest, smartest and bravest endurance drivers of all time. To hear them talk of the Carrera, which our brand’s longtime friend Juan Manuel Fangio had won in 1953, but which had been stopped in the 1955 after a number of fatalities, made my imagination soar.

He knew what the look and feel of the watch should be too.
