Last Saturday, June 13, 2009, the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors Convention ("NAWCC") was open to the public.
My contribution to that, of course, was
the presentation titled, "Where would James Bond be without his
wristwatch?" One of the neat opportunities I had because of the Grand
Rapids venue was an opportunity to share some of the Michigan
connections to this fascinating field of collecting.
This Blog and the James Bond Watches website are proudly located in the
Great State of Michigan. My NAWCC exhibit also included the attendee
card I've kept from my visit to The Henry Ford (Museum) when the "Bond,
James Bond" international traveling exhibit was here in Dearborn.
It was also my priviledge to reference some truly original research
related to the often-debated Rolex Submariner appearances on the wrist
of actor Sean Connery as James Bond. In its October 2004 issue,
WatchTime published a contribution by Robert
Sprague, Member of the American Society of Master Projectionists, from
Petoskey, Michigan, detailing his analysis of individual film frames by
way of reaching conclusions.
