ONE WOULD SURMISE, given the near-ubiquitous recognition of Steve McQueen on a Le Mans poster dressed in his famous white racing jumpsuit with the TAG Heuer Monaco on his wrist, that it would be the natural darling of watch collectors. Instead, a (once) little-known Heuer Skipper, an icon of the swinging ’60s, is actually a fan-favorite chronograph for collectors today.
Affectionately named the Skipperera, this colourful chronograph from 1968 is a darling at auctions. Why? The model was commissioned in 1967 by Jack Heuer to celebrate the victory of Intrepid in the America’s Cup. When two-time America’s Cup-winning yachtsman Emil Mosbacher won the regatta with Heuer, the watch was made as a tribute, and therefore came with a unique dial with Intrepid’s colour references.
Probably the most mythical Skipper watch on earth, the original ref. 7754 is believed to be made in a 20-piece production run. And to this day, that model remains the only Heuer Skipper in the brand’s history to be fitted with the case of a vintage Carrera, earning it its nickname, Skipperera. Later versions of the Skipper used the Autavia case until its final production in 1983 and then the once-familiar watch of choice for professional and amateur sailors (and even occasional divers, thanks to its 100-metre water resistance), disappearing for the last 40 years and only returning today.

August Men Of Tomorrow
In the age of independent thinking, our idea of leaders needs to evolve. Let us posit an alternative to traditional ideas of leaders: leadership is a choice, an act rather than a personality trait. We choose to do the difficult thing. We choose to bear responsibility when few would. You don't need the contrivances of power to be a leader. Instead, you can be a Community Developer at a gaming company, introducing small but vital initiatives to grow and engage with your community. You can be a DJ, moving the masses with music, making waves rather than demands. You can be a tattoo artist or the owner of a gallery, helping people discover their sense of self through art.Or you could fight for a better, kinder world for animals in Singapore.Here are the leaders of today. Here are the August Men of Tomorrow.
