Description from the seller
Exclusive Collectors' Lot: Vintage Heuer Trackmaster Chronometer (c. 1960) and Exclusive Design Table "Porsche 917 Gulf - Steve McQueen Le Mans"
A masterful blend of race timing precision and premium handmade furniture design.
We present for auction a cult-lot for fans of classic automotives and endurance racing. A unique ensemble that unites an original period pit-totiming instrument with an exclusive design table inspired by the 1971 film "Le Mans".
-- 1. Vintage Heuer Trackmaster Chronometer (Ref. 918) - Made in Switzerland
A mechanical timing instrument from the legendary Heuer brand (pre-TAG Heuer), the quintessential mark tied to 1970s motorsport.
Dial and Functions:
High-visibility white dial with 60-second scale and a 30-minute sub-dial. It bears the official inscriptions "SAVIC - FAB. SUISSE - SHOCKRESISTANT - HEUER - MADE IN SWITZERLAND".
Special Competition Function (Extra Pusher):
True to its circuit heritage, this piece features an advanced mechanical configuration controlled by its extra lateral button. While the upper crown manages start, the side pusher enables an immediate stop-and-hold function (Time-Out) ideal for measuring consecutive laps or pausing the time in the pits with total precision, returning the hand instantly to zero with a firm push.
Case and Mechanism:
Sturdy chromed metal case with upper crown button and side stop/reset button. The rear cover retains its original circular protective label with the brand reference.
Period Accessories:
The chronometer is delivered with its original red Heuer cardboard box and its original white textile neck cord, an essential accessory for the team chief in the pit-lane.
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition, with subtle handling marks that certify its authenticity and excellent mechanical preservation.
-- 2. Exclusive Design Table "Porsche 917 Gulf - Steve McQueen Le Mans"
A spectacular high-end workshop decorative table handcrafted in our studio, paying majestic tribute to the iconic Porsche 917 with Gulf Racing livery and to the legendary actor Steve McQueen.
Design and Iconography:
The circular tabletop features a mirrored automotive glassy finish. It presents an immaculate visual composition that includes the classic Gulf logo, integrated race stripes, Firestone and Heuer Chronograph emblems, and the inscription "Championnat du Monde des Constructeurs - 24h Le Mans".
Adjustable Structure:
Mounted on a sturdy high-gloss chrome central leg with a stable circular base. It features a hydraulic lift side lever to adjust the height completely to suit the space.
Buyer Exclusivity Note:
There is the possibility, for the lot winner, to commission two matching stools in our studio with the same Gulf design and livery to perfectly complete the set.
Technical Specifications of the Table:
Diameter: 61 cm (24.01 in).
Adjustable Height:
Variable range from 77 cm (30.31 in) to 97 cm (38.19 in).
Premium Pit-Lane Logistics:
The complete lot will be shipped via certified international transport with real-time tracking code.
To ensure that both the delicate Heuer chronometer with its original box and the design table arrive intact at its new garage, they will undergo our studio armored packing protocol, using multi-layer cushioning and reinforced impact protection.
(All shipping costs and any import duties in the destination country are the responsibility of the buyer).
Bid responsibly.
