GQ: Eric Wind Quoted on The Latest TAG Heuer X Rowing Blazers X Bamford Collaboration

Oren Hartov recently wrote about the latest collaboration between TAG Heuer, Rowing Blazers and Bamford. Within the article, Hartov quoted Eric Wind on the collaboration.

This latest spin on the model was inspired by a vintage Heuer Yacht-Timer stopwatch owned by the renowned watch dealer Eric Wind. These Yacht-Timers, popular in the 1960s and 1970s, featured colorful dials that were used to time the countdown to a regatta start. The first time Wind showed the watch to his friend Jack Carlson, founder of the preppy clothing line Rowing Blazers, he flipped for it—and knew right away they had the basis for the duo’s next big watch collaboration.

“The Carrera is one of the most iconic and elegant chronograph designs of all time,” Wind told GQ. “An early vintage Carrera was the first expensive vintage watch I ever purchased and to have the chance to design one is surreal.”
