Why the JFK photo?
Oct 10, 2013,10:43 AM
Why does Blancpain continue to use that photo of JFK with the UDT? Not only are the watches not TR-900s, it's impossible to tell what any watch worn in that photo really are. I have the original from the National Archives (28.9 MB file / 6000 X 4801) and can say with %100 certainty that it's impossible to determine from that photo what watches are being worn. It does make for a cool photo, but I wouldn't be using it without a clear idea as to the connection from photo to company. Just my .02c, B.

Thanks Melvin and Kong for sharing these wonderful pictures! I was part of the "mafia" on a photo Melvin posted. Our Don (our Godfather who, together with Melvin, kindly invited me for this event) was not present in that picture - he was probably busy upg...

And of the watches, too. Especially this blue dialed FF. I should try to see it in the flesh, one day. And your touch of humour is the cherry on the cake. Thanks, Robin. nicolas
