Rolex Desk Clock In The Oval Office



Rolex Desk Clock

In The Oval Office 

Featured on 60 Minutes

I originally published this story back on December 4th, and am bringing it back up as the top story as CBS's 60 Minutes TV Magazine show not only ran this fascinating story on the Swiss Watch industry, but also featured a close up of the Rolex desk clock Rolex gifted to the American people though President Trump"



Then, on November 10th I published a follow-up story about how Rolex had apparently given President Trump a Rolex Desk Clock that was on display in the Oval Office. This led to a mystery as there was not a high enough resolution photo that showed the actual engraving, until now.





Nick Gould brought this image to my attention which gives us a clear image of what Rolex engraved on the back of the Rolex table clock that they gifted to the American people on behalf of President Trump. This image was originally published on Woz.ch, and shows in great detail what the engraving said exactly as pictured below


Nick Gould originally claimed he could read the engraving on the back of the clock, and it turns out "Eagle Eyes" was correct, which is fascinating as I could NOT make it out originally, even when I blew up the text super large, but Nick got it right, and here is what it said:

ROLEX
PRESIDENT OF THE UNTED STATES
DONALD J. TRUMP
45-47
WITH APPRECIATION FROM ROLEX
