I am a collector of vintage Heuer watches and a general enthusiast of all things Heuer. However my real passion is for vintage Heuer Monacos. Within this site I aim to share my passion for them and discuss the issues relating to them and offer a guide to values (along with a free valuation service). I spend many hours researching the market each week and can draw upon my day job as a valuation expert for the UK car market. These watches were unloved during the 1980s and sold in relatively minor numbers back in the 70s (indeed an original production of circa 5000 units for all derivatives seems to be the accepted volume from Heuer experts) when they were on sale from 1969 - 1974/75. Back in the day they appealed to the design conscious individual (acrchitects, engineers, designers etc) and nothing much has changed since, apart from the price (they were available for between $190 and $260 before discount in 1972)!! The value has risen sharply over the past decade and most good examples are now in the hands of collectors.

The most important issue with Monacos is their seals, you will hear me mention it again and again! It can melt and ruin the dial and then cause paint peel later. Other important issues are the case condition, serial numbers, hands and movement, all of these make up the value of the watch. Values can change by as much as 50% depending on overall condition, between below average to mint and more still for true NOS. Inside the site we will discuss all of this and more...

Take your time to read and look at some of the photographs, but a warning, if you don't own one already...you'll want to before long for sure!

Anybody requiring a valuation of their Vintage Heuer Monaco, please feel free to send the details over on the Contact / Valuation form. I can also try and place a watch within the community for you at no fee, if you have one to sell/trade. I also offer the service for all 1970s Heuers. Finally if there is a watch you are seeking I have some great contacts in the Heuer world who may be able to help...
