  Columbia, Pennsylvania— With less than a month to go before the grand opening of this first-of-its-kind exhibit at the National Watch & Clock Museum, WatchTime magazine is running a full-page preview of "Bond Watches, James Bond Watches" in its June 2010 issue.

Under the heading "Bond Watch Bonanza," this write-up includes the following.

The highlight of the exhibit, called "Bond Watches, James Bond Watches," is the Rolex 1016 Explorer owned by the British writer Ian Fleming, creator of the James Bond character. The watch was the inspiration for the Rolex watch Bond wears in the novel, On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

"It is the first time since Ian Fleming was alive that his Rolex 1016 Explorer, and the original manuscript in which he described it for the first time in detail as the personal wristwatch of James Bond will be together," says Dell Deaton, guest curator of the exhibition.

Further references are made to the broad range of film-correct James Bond watch models to be featured in the display. Brands include Breitling, Hamilton Pulsar, Omega, SEIKO, and TAG Heuer.

    
         
    "Bond Watches, James Bond Watches" runs June 18, 2010, through April 30, 2011, at the National Watch & Clock Museum in Columbia, Pennsylvania. Open to the public. A special preview will be held in conjunction with the opening of the National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors ("NAWCC") annual convention on June 17, 2010.
