Specialist note

The Heuer Calculator was a small mathematical sensation when introduced in the mid-1970s. Fitted with the calibre 12 movement, it was the first wrist computer to calculate division, multiplication, currency conversion, fuel consumption, average speed, metric to Imperial and many other handy operations.
