Catalogue Essay
The Silverstone was launched as the replacement for the Heuer Monaco, which was not a commercial success for the manufacture at the time of production. Reference 110.313B is characterized by the blue dial, which displays different tones. Due to the watch's automatic movement, Heuer placed the crown on the left side of the case, meaning the wearer never had to wind the watch. The present watch is preserved in like new condition with its factory sticker to the case back, and is enhanced by the presence of its sales tag and fitted presentation box.
Heuer
Swiss | 1860This iconic chronograph manufacturer has a long tradition of precision timekeeping. As early as 1882, founder Edouard Heuer held a patent for a chronograph watch; in 1887, he received a patent for an oscillating pinion, which is still in use today. These specialized timepieces have been at the heart of the firm's success, enabling the brand to be chosen as early timekeepers for the Olympics. In 1969, the company introduced their first automatic chronograph watch, the Monaco Heuer, which celebrated the Monaco Grand Prix. Other key chronograph models include the Autavia and the Carrera, all of which having become iconic models of the firm.
