Beste horlogeliefhebbers,
Misschien is het wel leuk om op zoek te gaan naar plaatjes van de bekende nederlanders of bekende buitenlanders met een mooi (en bekend) horloge om.
De bedoeling is dan om de naam van de persoon, het type van de klok en een plaatje ervan te posten…
Ik geef de aftrap:
Wie: Voormalig PM van Israel Ehud Olmert
Wat: Breitling Aerospace
Adolf Hitler’s gift watch to Theodor Gilbert Morell sold for $70,000 antiquesandthearts :: 2007-07-18
An historically important watch, an 18K gold, hunting-cased, keyless pocket watch, which is described as a “minute-repeating” watch by A. Lange & Sohne, Glashutte, I/SA, B/Dresden, No. 91764, was sold for $70,000. The watch was made in 1938, and sold to Adolf Lunser, Berlin, a company that was the supplier to the Third Reich. The watch, inscribed “22.7.44 mit den herzlichsten Wünschen” (“July 22, 1944, with most cordial wishes”), was presented to Dr Theodor Gilbert Morell by Adolf Hitler on July 22, 1944. Morell was Hitler’s physician, and known for his alternative treatments. Historians believe that his practices contributed to Hitler’s ill health.
