·Carl Gustav von Rosen
A while ago I watched a documentary on a remarkable man – Count Carl Gustav von Rosen. Brought up in a family with strong connections to dark and dangerous political views he managed to break free and go in the opposite direction and made something extraordinary of his life. By many considered a true hero and also a great humanitarian.
Here are some links to the story of Carl Gustav von Rosen – in English:

The documentary (sorry – only in Swedish):

When watching the documentary I could not avoid looking for watches. Von Rosen is up there with A. Leonov as a famous Omega Flightmaster wearer…
Screen shots:
I am proud to have one. No other similarity.
