Curt Lincoln was a very famous racing driver in Finland at his time.

Actually the Heuer Autavia 1163t and the Monaco notably used the then new Calibre 12 and 11 respectively and not a Valjoux movement. Great video nonetheless.

Thank you for the information.

Interesting that it's known as the model 72. Jochen Rindt died racing a Lotus 72.

That is a spooky coincidence, indeed.
