Then and now, however, their price points were out of reach of many average enthusiasts, giving rise to what we now refer to as the “Poor Man’s Heuers.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to their own efforts, Heuer manufactured pieces to be sold at a more affordable price through large retailers like Sears \u0026amp; Roebuck and Zales, as well as brands like Zodiac and Clebar.
