·The case architecture is off the hook.
If I've ever seen a watch style that can deservedly be called "architectural", it's this one. All these steps and tiers and angles in such a tiny object, and the shape of the lugs ... I really like it.

·Might have posted this “Doug Corrigan”, a.k.a aeronaut “Wrong Way Corrigan”, sometime in the past
That's a gorgeous watch.

·Everyone has complimented this watch but no one has yet called dibs, so I guess it's up to me. I call dibs!
That's a gorgeous watch.
Anyone not familiar with the story of the watch’s namesake, aviator Doug “Wrong Way” Corrigan, should Google him for an entertaining read about this early pioneering aviator, and apparently all around “stick it in your ear” American yahoo. Fun story about his historic flight from NY to CA in which his first stop after NY was Ireland.

I love the history Bulova had with early aviation. This watch and the original Lone Eagle are beautiful commemorative watches.

·Corrigan was far to skillful to make mistake of accidentally flying to Ireland, and he had been stymied for years in his attempt to legally make a transatlantic flight. I can't say that I blame him for making his "mistake."

Not Art Deco, but artistically decorated, another Bulova tribute to aviation, the 1949 "Aeronaut".
Merry Christmas to all. May you never lose a child's wonderment of the day's magic.
Cheers!

·Oklahoma is home to the only Frank Lloyd Wright skyscrapper, the Price Tower in Bartlesville. It was built in the 50s, but you can still see some Art Deco influences in it. Unfortunately, the day I took these photos it was closed so there are no interior shots of it.

And a stunning watch, thanks for posting it too.
Also below a remarkable art deco case. The style of the dial is not art deco but a beautiful 1920s style which I always like.
