Jorg Gray JG6500-51 Commemorative Edition Mens Watch Reviews

More Picture

Barack Obama's Inauguration as the 44th President of the United States occurred on Tuesday, January 20, 2009, and the watch watchers had one question in mind, as they watched the events of the day would Obama wear the Secret Service chronograph that he had been wearing, during his campaign (and which might have become his "lucky watch") or would he go back to the TAG-Heuer watch (which might have some sentimental value, from his days as a young law professor, community organizer or newlywed)? The weather in Washington, D.C. was very cold on the day of the Inauguration, meaning that Obama would be wearing long sleeves, an overcoat and leather gloves. It was much easier watching his watch during the hot summer days, when he was campaigning in the Deep South, with his sleeves rolled up

The photos from the Morning Prayer service, and the pre-inauguration visit to the White House were inconclusive, as Obama's cuff, suit jacket, overcoat and gloves kept his watch covered for most of the morning. Then, as he was taking the oath of office, with his right hand raised and his left hand on the Lincoln Bible, we finally saw the watch of the day . . . the "Secret Service" chronograph that Obama had been wearing since August of 2007.

Commemorative
Each Commemorative Edition watch comes with an individualized serial number and the inscription "The 44th President of the United States Barack H. Obama" engraved on the case back to commemorate the historic occasion of Barack Obama's inauguration. The watch is shipped with an attractive black buffalo leather strap with crocodile embossing and white contrast stitching that is identical to the timepiece worn by President Obama. With each order, DBROTH includes a sleek Jorg Gray case that provides for secure storage
