·Very special piece today. This TAG-Heuer was the first watch my father gave me, a birthday gift when I was 15. I never knew this about him until after he passed (in 2009), but apparently he was very interested in watches, and used to frequently buy them as gifts for friends and colleagues. That's him in the background, 2nd Armored Division, Combat Command B, taken during their drive across France, Belgium and Germany as "the tip of the spear."
This watch was thought lost, then found, and has since followed me from Prague-->Vienna-->Georgia-->Mississippi-->Virginia--> northern Canada-->Nottingham and finally, back home to London, where I was born. Just got a new movement, courtesy of the peerless Brendan Hoey, and it's once again "fit for duty."
Thanks, dad, for everything--as promised, I've kept it safe and running strong.
