Smilodone x CarBone - Heuer gauge chronograph / stopwatch / clock holder

Dedicated to all air-cooled 911 (and 912) generations.

Bring the legacy of the golden era of rallying to your cockpit. The Heuer Instrument Holder allows you to seamlessly integrate legendary vintage stopwatches, chronographs, or clocks directly into your vintage Porsche 911 dashboard. Designed to replace the factory clock, this holder provides a classy look, turning a standard instrument opening into a functional piece of motorsport history.

Three variants for every Heuer enthusiast. 

To fit different instruments, we’ve developed three versions based on the specific case design of your vintage timepiece.

Check out the compatibility, using the tabel below. 

A bit of history

The connection between Heuer and Porsche 911 is part of motorsport DNA. In the 1950s, 60s and 70s, a dashboard wasn't complete without professional timing equipment. This holder allows you to bring that heritage back to your cockpit by mounting a vintage Heuer stopwatch or clock directly in the old clock opening.

In 1958, Jack Heuer introduced a new line of dashboard instruments that would soon become the gold standard for rally drivers worldwide. Names like Monte-Carlo, Master-Time, and Auto-Rallye weren't just product names - they were essential tools for navigators.

Today, these instruments are more than just timers - they are mechanical icons of the air-cooled era. Our holder bridges the gap, allowing you to mount these historic pieces back in their natural habitat without permanent modifications. It’s a clean, functional way to bring that authentic rally soul to your 911’s interior.

Installation

The installation is straightforward and fully reversible:

1. Remove the factory clock from the dashboard.
2. Disconnect and insulate the electrical wires to prevent any shorts.
3. Transfer the original rubber gasket from your old clock onto the new holder.
4. Mount your Heuer instrument into the holder.
5. Press the assembly back into the clock opening.

Smilodone is a separate initiative through which Paweł Kalinowski, the founder of CarBone, collects & sells some of vintage Heuer instruments and creates related accessories. It all began with a passion for air-cooled Porsche rally cars equipped with Heuer timepieces. That passion led to the creation of the product described here.
