Obama's Cellini has always been my favorite, but Roosevelt's Tiffany is also very cool. I like the new interpretations of that piece as well.

I never knew that model Cellini existed, it's so much better looking than the ones I am familiar with.
Great. Another to add to the ever-expanding grail list.

Woodrow Wilson's pocket watch is pretty awesome. Really like FDR's Tiffany too.
Who knew so many presidents like Vulcain Crickets?

I think it's a marketing angle by Vulcain. They gift watches to Presidents so they can continue calling themselves "The watch for Presidents".

This was probably my favorite article I've seen on Hodinkee ever. What a fascinating read.
The thing that made the biggest impression on me though was how many President's watches get sold for incredibly cheap. I could have owned Harry S Bleeping Truman's personal watch for like $2k. Unbelievable.
