Esquire: Eric Wind Quoted on Vintage Heuer

Equire’s Johnny Davis recently highlighted the Heuer Collectors Summit 2024 within the About Time newsletter. Within the article, Davis quoted Eric Wind on vintage Heuer.

“One of the top five storylines of 2024, from my perspective, has been the return of vintage Heuer,” said Eric Wind. “It was quite difficult to sell vintage Heuers the last few years. But there’s a tonne of new collectors entering the market that saw the same things I saw when I first got interested in watches, which is great value, great heritage, particularly around motor racing, and great colours. The colours on these watches are different from anything else from the period.”

“The feeling of this collector group is very different from other collector groups, where there’s a lot of egos, a lot of pride,” said Eric Wind. “You can practically see the dollar signs lasered into people’s eyeballs. Here, it’s not that at all. It’s such a supportive community. And the community got hurt during the peak period, 2017 [when investors came to view watches as an asset class, driving up prices] when it got too crazy – but the speculators have left the building, thankfully. Now it’s the enthusiasts again.”
