Barack Obama's Watches


So which watch does Barack Obama wear? No sooner had he hit the campaign trail, in early 2007, than the 'watch guys' started studying the photos, trying to identify his watch. With an image for being somewhat casual, and summertime tours through the Southern states, he often rolled up his sleeves.

And when he rolled up his sleeves, the watch freaks saw a big, stylish watch... not the usual plastic Timex or Casio, so popular among those running for office (or in office), but a large, light-dialed sport style watch. Most experts saw a light-dialed TAG-Heuer sports watch, one of the common quartz watches of the mid-1990's.

Then suddenly, something strange happened late in the year 2007.

The watch Obama has been wearing since August 2008 is a Jorg Gray 6500 Series Chronograph. It's been spotted on Election Night, at the Inauguration and during his first days in office. You can read more about it at wwww.barackswatch.com
