In 1969, Jack Heuer, then at the helm of the brand, crossed paths with Swiss racing driver Jo Siffert, fresh from his victory at the British Grand Prix. This encounter gave rise to the first partnership between a watch brand and a racing driver. The Heuer logo then appeared on a Lotus and on the driver\u2019s racing suit, offering the brand unprecedented visibility. Behind this initiative lay a strategic objective: to support the launch of a revolutionary movement, the Chronomatic Calibre 11, the first automatic chronograph in history. This ambitious project began in 1967, when Jack Heuer conceived the idea of combining a Dubois-Depraz chronograph module with a Buren automatic calibre featuring a micro-rotor. Faced with the high cost of development, he joined forces with Willy Breitling. Together, they secretly led \u2018Project 99\u2019, which came to fruition two years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tag-steve.jpg\" alt=\"Apr\u00e8s deux ann\u00e9es de d\u00e9veloppement, le myst\u00e9rieux \u00ab Projet 99 \u00bb aboutit en 1969 avec la naissance du premier prototype : le Chronomatic Calibre 11. Ce mouvement modulaire impose une configuration particuli\u00e8re, avec une couronne de remontoir plac\u00e9e \u00e0 9 heures, tandis que les deux poussoirs du chronographe restent plac\u00e9s \u00e0 2 et 4 heures. Une disposition peu conventionnelle dans un univers horloger encore tr\u00e8s attach\u00e9 aux traditions. Pourtant, le placement de la couronne \u00e0 gauche est rapidement salu\u00e9 pour sa praticit\u00e9. Confiant dans le potentiel de son calibre, le visionnaire Jack Heuer en fait m\u00eame un argument marketing, affirmant que l\u2019on reconna\u00eet imm\u00e9diatement \u00ab la premi\u00e8re montre chronographe qui ne se remonte pas \u00bb gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ce d\u00e9tail unique. Et comme le calibre pr\u00e9sente une configuration particuli\u00e8re, Jack Heuer d\u00e9cide d\u2019aller encore plus loin dans l\u2019originalit\u00e9 : il faut un bo\u00eetier hors du commun. Le choix s\u2019oriente alors vers le tout premier bo\u00eetier carr\u00e9 \u00ab \u00e9tanche brevet\u00e9 \u00bb, d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 par la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Piquerez. Jack Heuer en obtient l\u2019exclusivit\u00e9 pour ses chronographes. Ainsi na\u00eet la \u00ab Monaco \u00bb, baptis\u00e9e en hommage au plus embl\u00e9matique Grand Prix de Formule 1.\" class=\"wp-image-42119\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Heuer Monaco r\u00e9f.1133B &#8211; 1969<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Calibre 11 stands out for its original design, notably featuring a crown positioned on the left-hand side of the case, whilst the pushers remain on the right. This bold choice became a key selling point, symbolising a watch that no longer needed to be wound by hand. To complement this innovation, Heuer opted for an equally avant-garde design: a square, water-resistant case \u2013 a first at the time \u2013 developed by the Piquerez company. Thus was born the Monaco, named in homage to the legendary Formula 1 Grand Prix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tagjosiffert.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42218\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Steve McQueen and Jo Siffert during the filming of <em>Le Mans<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its technical qualities and unique aesthetic, the Monaco initially struggled to win over the public. Its unconventional design and innovative positioning were somewhat bewildering. However, that same year, Steve McQueen discovered the watch whilst preparing for the film <em>Le Mans<\/em>.

This revival was, above all, a reissue: bringing a legend back to life whilst preserving its historic hallmarks. Almost thirty years later, the current Monaco goes far beyond a simple evolution. It embodies a deeper reinterpretation, where respect for heritage and technical innovation go hand in hand. Whereas the 1997 Monaco revived a legend, today\u2019s model propels it into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A reimagined architecture: faithful yet transformed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst the diameter remains unchanged at 39 mm, the case has been completely redesigned.
