Clips from the Anitques Roadshow

The Antiques Roadshow is a program that runs both in the United States and The United Kingdom.  It a factual show where members of the public bring in items to learn more about them.  It is a entertaining program and is enjoyable to watch.

From time to time certain pieces are brought in which get my attention.  Thought I would post a few clips that were quite good.

The first clip is from the USA version.  A gentleman brought in a pocket watch by Patek Philippe that had been in his family for quite a long time.  This pocket watch was made in 1914.  This was before James Ward Packard and Henry Graves Jr had their superwatches made.

This watch eventually sold for $1.5 million at a Sothebys Auction. (Updated 16/05/14)

Red Carpet Watch GTG: Arnold Scharwzenegger and Joe Manganiello

A GTG (get togther) is a meeting between watch people.  In this case it was a quick GTG on the red carpet. 

Arnold Scharwzenegger and Joe Manganiello star in Sabotage.  During their premiere they took a moment to talk about their watches that they were wearing for the occasion.

 
Arnold was wearing an Audemars Piguet on a bracelet and Joe was wearing his Richard Mille on a rubber strap
