Description: C.1960’s LeCoultre Memovox Lyndon B. Johnson Engraved Watch - $200K APR w/CoA ITEM DESCRIPTION: Presenting an extraordinary historical wristwatch of impeccable craftsmanship and significance. This timepiece boasts a solid 14K yellow gold case back and crown, adorned with an original matching 14K gold woven mesh bracelet featuring the esteemed Lecoultre emblem on the clasp. Powered by a high-quality Oyster Perpetual movement, this watch represents the epitome of elegance and precision. What sets this watch apart is its fascinating provenance. Engraved on the back are the initials "To L.B.J. from T.R.B.," indicating that it was gifted to Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th President of the United States, by an individual represented by the initials T.R.B. Lyndon Baines Johnson, known colloquially as LBJ, ascended to the presidency in 1963 following the tragic assassination of John F. Kennedy. His tenure, which lasted until 1969, was marked by significant achievements and transformative policies, making him a pivotal figure in American history. The initials "T.R.B." likely refers to the lead columnist of each issue of The New Republic magazine, a prestigious publication based in Washington D.C. and founded in 1914. Historically, the writer most closely associated with "TRB" was Richard Strout, whose tenure spanned from 1943 to 1983. The New Republic has featured a distinguished roster of columnists over the years, including luminaries such as Michael Kinsley, Andrew Sullivan, and Jonathan Chait. For political collectors and watch enthusiasts alike, this timepiece represents a rare and remarkable find—a tangible link to the inner circles of power and influence in mid-20th-century America. Its exquisite design, coupled with its storied history and association with a revered political figure, make it a truly exceptional addition to any collection. As a symbol of prestige and legacy, this watch embodies the intersection of politics, journalism, and horology, offering a glimpse into a fascinating chapter of American history. This watch comes presented in a brand new mahogany box, further enhancing its allure and prestige. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the mahogany box serves as an elegant and fitting vessel for such a distinguished timepiece.
