"Fate. Luck. Fortune. Chance. Destiny. No matter what you call it, it is an honor, and we couldn't feel more humbled that the leader of the free world is wearing our watch," says Trevor Gnesin, the president and founder of Jorg Gray.
The story of Jorg Gray began 10 years ago, when Gnesin founded the line of private-label luxury watches for the Fortune 500 elite. Voted the number one brand in premium industry, Jorg Gray attracted the attention of the United States Secret Service, who requested the company's 6500 Series watches to be customized with the organization's seal.
As fate would have it, the then-Senator Barack Obama received one of the watches as a gift for his 46th birthday. He has since worn his Jorg Gray watch on such historical occasions as his presidential election victory speech, the inaugrual swearing-in ceremony and inaugural balls, and the signing of his first Presidential Proclamation.
Now, for the first time, Gnesin and his team are making available a commemorative edition of the timepiece to the public. To memorialize the historical event, the watch's engraved caseback will mark Barack Obama's inauguration as the 44th president of the United States.
With a striking, tri-compax design - a 24-hour indicatior at the three o'clock, continuous seconds at the six o'clock and Chronograph elapsed time at the nine o'clock - the watch offers more than novelty, but true function.
The Jorg Gray line is revered as timepieces meticulously crafted to combine styling, materials and colors that appeal to today's men and women, while maintaining a respect for tradition - all at an affordable price point.
"It is a true testimony to our company that President Obama, a man who is admired and emulated around the world for his great character, strength, integrity and elegant simplicity, would choose a brand and a timepiece that displays the same qualities," said Gnesin.
A watch for the people is the American President's watch brand of choice.
