Nice Designer Watch, Mr. President! by ajaxblogger

Who knows better than our current president just how true it is that time is of the essence? “It’s our time,” he inspired us during his campaign, “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.” Now that he’s in office, he’s learning how much the opposition slows down decision making, but he keeps at it.

Who knows? Maybe we would have been waiting even longer if Barack Obama hadn’t always had the sense of urgency that kept a designer watch on his wrist.

It’s not that it was always a high-end designer watch. From the eary/mid-90s, any photograph of Senator Obama shows him sporting a TAG-Heuer. We think that shows he’s a practical, humble, prompt man.

But we can’t say we were disappointed…because we are so horologically inclined…when he switched it up in 2007.

The occasion? The Secret Service presented him with a Secret Service watch. That’s a private label, available only in the Secret Service employee’s store. That a Secret Service employee store exists is a little weird to us, but let’s stay focused on the prize here: Obama’s watches.

Now, to this day, he is mostly seen in one or the other of these two watches. A loyal man, if we’ve ever seen one!

BUT. He has also been spotted in a third watch! On occasion, our president does wear a Highgear Enduro Compass watch. That’s usually during more casual or sporting events, but yessir, there you have it. A designer watch complete with a compass, so he always knows the right way to go.
