Hodinkee Presidents' Watches

Hodinkee has a great article up on watches owned/worn by presidents of the US:

It brought to mind an interesting presidential presentation watch which was the "Watch of the Month" on my website back in 2006:

This 20 size Nashua/Waltham watch was not only presented by President Abraham Lincoln in 1862, it is a rare and significant piece of American time keeping history. I know where there is another of these Lincoln presentation Nashua/Walthams for sale privately right now but the seller wants more than I paid for my house so it probably won't be mine anytime soon.
