Product details

Paul Newman wore his Daytona Rolex every single day for 35 years until his death in 2008. This iconic timepiece, likely the most sought-after watch in the world, is now owned by his daughter Clea, who wears it daily in his memory. Franklin Roosevelt wore an elegant gold Tiffany watch, a birthday gift from a friend, to the famous Yalta Conference, where he shook hands with Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill. JFK's Omega was worn at his presidential inauguration, Ralph Lauren's watch was purchased from Andy Warhol's personal collection, and Sir Edmund Hillary's Rolex was worn during the first summit of Mount Everest. These and many more tell the stories of the world's most coveted watches, captured in "A Man and His Watch." Matthew Hranek, a watch enthusiast and men's style expert in NYC, has traveled the world to conduct personal interviews and explore exclusive collections to gather the previously untold stories of 76 watches, complemented by stunning original photographs of each piece. Through these intimate accounts and Hranek's storytelling, the watches become more than just timekeepers and status symbols; they represent historical moments, groundbreaking achievements, marriages, family memories, tokens of affection, and lifelong friendships.
