Sunday RewindA Story Of A Soldier And His Patek
And how he lost it ... and got it back (sort of).
This past week we observed Veteran's Day here in the U.S. To further honor those who served we thought we would look back at a story deep in our archives. We're talking 2011, a full decade ago. This is a story about a watch – but it's one that really gets to the core of just how important a timepiece can be.
In the story, we're introduced to Charles Woehrl, a veteran of WWII and a POW who purchased a Patek Philippe watch during the war. Jason Heaton examines the connection between a man and his watch, and recounts a decades-long story that we won't spoil here. Enjoy this one on your lazy Sunday.
