Like the Autavia, the first watch that Jack Heuer had a hand in creating, the Carrera was intended to be a racing watch. But rather than rely on the tried-and-true to create the Carrera, Jack Heuer sought to create something entirely new, drawing inspiration from the work of masters of modern design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eIn his student years, Jack Heuer had been inspired by the revolutionary work of Charles-Édouard Jeanneret. History would know Jeanneret as Le Corbusier, the pioneer of modern architecture (and himself a native of La Chaux-de-Fonds, the sleepy Swiss village in which Heuer’s factory was located). Le Corbusier’s concern—one might almost say obsession—with functionality was apparent in his work, which became known for its minimalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThis particular example, a Reference 2447N, features the classic, arguably perfectly proportioned 36mm case with barrel pushers, an acrylic crystal, a matte black Tritium dial with a 3-register chronograph layout, applied indices, and a matching handset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003ePowered by the venerable Valjoux 72 manual winding movement, this piece comes fitted to a Ralstra® International perforated rallye strap with a drilled steel pin buckle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eSimple. No-frills.
