I have posted on (some of) these individually, but this is a fantastic round-up thread, jot9011!

Let me try:

A- Pulsar with F- Jerry Ford

B- Omega with H- Jack Kennedy

C- Timex Ironman with K- Bill Clinton

D- Universal Tri-Compax with D- Harry S. Truman

E- Hamilton Sub (?) with A- Ike Eisenhower (II)

F- Vulcain Cricket with B- Tony Blair

G- Omega Connie with C- Mikhail Gorbachev

H- Rolex Presidential with I- Dwight D. Eisenhower

I- Timex Indiglo with E- George W. Bush 43

J- Vacheron Constantin Tourby with G- Silvio Berlusconi

K- Patek Philippe with J- Vladimir Putin

Corrected below:

E- Toy Watch with B- Tony Blair

F- Vulcain Cricket with A- Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Guesses:

- Dwight Eisenhower was known to wear a solid gold Presidential (he was the first, I believe), as was LBJ. No clue about that diver watch, so that's a guess.

- Harry Truman wore a simple 'grandpa' face Hamilton, so that's a guess

- Tony Blair is infamous for wearing a $30 Swatch, but he has been photographed wearing a Pepsi GMT (I posted a photo once)

Trivia:

- Bill Clinton is a watch queen, of course. In 1992, he had a humble Timex, but he's now a Panerista, he's into Kobolds, Ulysse Nardin, Blancpain, Roger Dubuis, etc.

- GHW Bush 41 wore Panerais before Clinton, but was a lifelong Patek man. Interestingly, for a man who loves watches, he wasn't featured here.

Obviously you are talking about, a time period of, when Clinton was in office, correct? As I do not see any AP or Panerai up there and we all know that those are his timepieces of choice now. Other than that...good game. I wish I had the patience to participate in it.

I was actually referring to my OCD/ADD for puzzles such as this. It's not that its laborious, I just would not be able to sleep at night if I got one wrong.

Very impressive V....Eisenhauer as well as Truman, Johnson and Nixon all sported the the Vulcain cricket.
