Joe Biden拜登於今年1月宣誓就任美國第46任總統,為了紀念這個時刻,以下介紹美國歷任總統曾配戴過的部分腕錶。

1. 第45任總統:川普 Donald Trump

Donald Trump拒絕承認2020年的敗選結果,這讓我們不禁好奇他卸任後的生活。不過有件事是肯定的:他擁有不少令人稱羨的腕錶。從美國商人搖身一變成為世界領袖的Trump,這些年來他多次被拍攝到配戴各式黃金腕錶。

他曾在2016年的大選之夜,配戴一只極其優雅的Vacheron Constantin Historiques Ultra-Fine Ref 1968腕錶;此外,他在佛羅里達州打高爾夫球時,也被捕捉到手上戴著一只Rolex Day-Date黃金腕錶。

2. 第44任總統:歐巴馬 Barack Obama

歐巴馬在白宮辦公室時的首選腕錶是搭配黑色錶帶的TAG Heuer 1500雙色腕錶,他經常在日常生活中配戴這只精緻的腕錶。

2007年,特勤局友人贈送他一只Jorg Gray JG6500計時腕錶,錶盤上刻有特勤局的標誌,而Vulcain為慶祝Obama 2008年的就職典禮,贈與他一只Anniversary Heart自動鋼錶,錶殼背面寫著:「President Of The United States Nov. 4th 2008 / Barack Obama」。

3. 第42任總統:克林頓 Bill Clinton

眾所皆知,Clinton擁有Jaeger-LeCoultre、Roger Dubuis、Rolex、Audemars Piguet和Panerai等眾多頂級腕錶,為了紀念諾曼地登陸50週年,Clinton獲得了一只LIP腕錶。然而,他顯然更喜歡在任期間配戴的Timex Ironman電子腕錶,我們不得不說這是一只非常乏味的腕錶(沒有惡意)。儘管《華盛頓郵報》狠批這只腕錶為「不堪入目的汙點」和「手腕上的怪物」,但這位政治家依然時常在總統競選期間配戴它。

4. 第36任總統:Lyndon Johnson

第36任總統Lyndon Johnson擁有多款腕錶,他曾配戴過一只Patek Philippe Ref. 2526腕錶,錶盤上寫著「Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You」(己所不欲,勿施於人);此外他也曾配戴過Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox腕錶,錶殼背面刻有總統印章。

Johnson還擁有Vulcain、Rolex和Hamilton腕錶,不過他在1960年的競選活動主要還是配戴Hamilton Pacer黃金腕錶,這只腕錶是他在1958年拜訪西維吉尼亞州麥克道威郡民主黨員時獲得的禮物。

錶殼背面寫著:「Presented to / Senator / Lyndon B. Johnson / By the / McDowell County / Democrats / Welch, WV / Oct. 18 58」(贈與/參議員/Lyndon B. Johnson/麥克道威郡/民主黨員/西維吉尼亞州韋爾奇市/1958年10月18日致贈)。

5. 第35任總統:John F. Kennedy

這位政治家在1961年的就職典禮上配戴了從商友人Grant Stockdale送給他的一只方形Omega腕錶,錶殼背面寫著:「President Of The United States John F. Kennedy From His Friend Grant」;Stockdale在Kennedy贏得大選的前一年將這只腕錶送給了他,可說是一個冒險之舉。

Kennedy所擁有的腕錶除了這只Omega之外,還有Cartier和Rolex,最為人所知的是Day-Date黃金腕錶,因為這是Marilyn Monroe送給他的45歲生日禮物;著名拍賣商Alexander Autographs在2005年以12萬美元的天價售出該只腕錶。

6. 第32任總統:Franklin Roosevelt

經常以姓名開頭字母縮寫被暱稱為FDR的Franklin Roosevelt,曾在1942年於古巴首都哈瓦那的獅子會入手一只令人印象深刻的鏤空三問腕錶,該腕錶目前收藏於紐約海德公園的富蘭克林·德拉諾·羅斯福總統圖書館暨博物館(Franklin D Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum)。

第32任總統還有一只帶有Tiffany標誌的Movado Triple Calendar Ref. 44776腕錶;據說FDR的女婿最初是在1944年收到這只作為聖誕禮物的腕錶,不久後決定重新送給Roosevelt。
