·Often people who wear their watch this way have a military background, which I don't think was the case here. He did start his career at a manufacturing plant, so perhaps it dates to that time where he wore it inside his wrist to protect the watch.

·I don't think he normally wore his watch that way, the photos I've reviewed show a normal wear. I suspect he had the watch a bit loose that day and it rotated around while he waved his arms, as he was wont to do when talking. RIP, he was definitely a larger than life figure in the business world.

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.I didn’t work for GE, but I did work for folks who came out of the organization he created, and had a I had good working relationship with GE itself. Working to those high standards and expectations was an excellent foundation for a young procurement manager. God speed Jack.

·As a former GE employee, I can say his predecessor certainly drove an amazing organization into the ground. What a sad state it’s in today.
sub $11 a share and still can’t sell lighting.
anyway RIP Jack.

·GE was a AAA credit under Jack, who walked on water.
