I bet no one tried to steal that (Bush's) watch!

Cool reading..............

I’m surprised the Russian President do not help promote his own country watch industry even if privately he prefers something else :confused1:…granted may be not at the level of a Patek but, some Russian brands produce very nice,high end (and very expensive) pieces .....

I agree comrad!

 

[Rusty]

I think they really want to come off as cultured, wordly bigshots so having a Patek on the wrist helps. . .

I have found that the article regarding the watches of the heads of state originates with Pravda, which has the reputation of World Weekly News and perhaps even worse.

The information might be truthful, but the odds are really against it judging by the bizarre articles Pravda has a history of publishing.

Judge for yourself.

Don't forget that Putin really needs a watch to go with Bob Kraft's Super Bowl ring that he
borrowed to admire then never gave back.

Good stuff Grady !

Well, it does seem that the president does indeed wear a Timex or at least he has at one time or another.

I suspect the president might own more than one watch, regardless of which one he might wear when greeting crowds.

I remember that Cliinton wore a Timex Ironman during his 1992 campaign, which of course was an image builder, insofar as he did portray himself as a populist and he did make quite a show of jogging frequently.

I like Timex myself, so I wouldn't fault either man for his choice.

Clinton switched to Sinn j/k!
He did switch, but for the life of me I can't remember. Hublot (or some other relatively obscure Wis-watch).
Bush's other timepiece features a famous rodent.

Clinton was seen at baseball games wearing Panerai after leaving office. I think he's also been seen wearing Audemars in recent years.

Yeah, those $100,000 speaking engagements do add up.
