Abercrombie & Fitch Co. Watches by Heuer
During its golden era, Abercrombie & Fitch Co. was a world-class outdoorsman’s department store on 5th avenue in New York City. The store was frequented by many famous celebrities and prominent figures such as Teddy Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Amelia Earhart, and Ernest Hemmingway. Heuer began making special watches for the esteemed department store during the 1940s to the 1960s much in part due to Jack Heuer, the grandson of Heuer's founder Edouard Heuer, being an employee in the watches department at the store. These watches were specialized for the department store and featured outdoor-oriented complications such as tide indicators and regatta timers, from which the first complication is seen in the present lot.
