The Yeslam Aviator: Osama Bin Laden's Brother Builds The Ultimate Pilot's Watch

The ability to read True Air Speed, without complicated calculations, on the bezel of this time piece, combined with the delicate engravings and the ingenuity of its various mechanisms, give The Aviator an originality that leaves nothing to be desired even for the most demanding experts.

Rich families CAN do anything, no?

I guess but sometimes things are not that easy.....like poor Rosemary Kennedy

Rosemary-Kennedy-0011.jpg

She was born at her parents' home in Brookline, Massachusetts, and christened Rose Marie Kennedy but commonly called Rosemary. To her family, she was known as Rosie. Rosie Kennedy has been described as being a shy child whose I.Q. tests reportedly indicated a moderate mental retardation, but this is a question of some controversy. Diaries written by her in the late 1930s, and published in the 1980s, reveal a young woman whose life was filled with outings to the opera, tea dances, dress fittings, and other social interests

In 1941, when Rosemary was 23, doctors told her father that a new neurosurgical procedure, Lobotomy, would help calm her mood swings. At the time, relatively few lobotomies had been performed; James W. Watts, who carried out the procedure with Walter Freeman, described what happened:

"We went through the top of the head, I think she was awake. She had a mild tranquilizer. I made a surgical incision in the brain through the skull. It was near the front. It was on both sides. We just made a small incision, no more than an inch." The instrument Dr. Watts used looked like a butter knife. He swung it up and down to cut brain tissue. "We put an instrument inside," he said. As Dr. Watts cut, Dr. Freeman put questions to Rosemary. For example, he asked her to recite the Lord's Prayer or sing "God Bless America" or count backwards. ... "We made an estimate on how far to cut based on how she responded." ... When she began to become incoherent, they stopped.

Instead of the hoped-for result, Rosemary was left with urinary incontinence and an infantile mentality — staring blankly at walls for hours. Her speech became unintelligible......

"Bin Laden" and" Aviation" sounds a little bit strange to me....

Although it's the brother...

The father of the two died in an aiplane accident...so "Aviation" was to honour the father...strange yes....unneeded yes..terrible timing yes..but likely the most collectable item by Yeslam
