Sikke dog en pragtfuld tråd - De gamle patenttegninger indeholder en ganske særlig stemning.

Citat:The Watch of Presidents
Not only was the watch a commercial success, it attracted some notable wearers – in particular, enough US Presidents to earn it the nickname, “The Watch of Presidents.”
While it is known that a handful of watch companies present every incoming world leader with a watch, many of these officials choose not to wear them,
especially those elected in democracies full of whinging lefties, because of the implications of “receiving a gift.”
(Indeed, President Nixon and Vice-President Spiro Agnew famously declined the offer of Omega Speedmaster Professionals to mark the watch’s success with NASA’s space programme.
The two Omegas are now in the company’s museum.)
Vulcain Crickets, on the other hand, found their way on to the wrists of U.S. presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Nixon and Johnson – two Democrats and two Republicans.
