  SXP 1062 is an exceptional case of a young neutron star in a wind-fed
high-mass X-ray binary associated with a supernova remnant. A unique
combination of measured spin period, its derivative, luminosity and young age
makes this source a key probe for the physics of accretion and neutron star
evolution. Theoretical models proposed to explain the properties of SXP 1062
shall be tested with new data.
