Dwight David Eisenhower, thirty-fourth president (1953-1961)
It is said that President Eisenhower's 1945 purchase of a HEUER (today's TAG Heuer) stainless steel chronograph, but we have no more detailed information, but appeared a portrait of Eisenhower HEUER in 1946 ad.
In this photo below, Eisenhower wears a black dial watch that might be the HEUER chronograph.

Rolex also inscribed the word "DDE" on the buckle.
Unfortunately, the dial of this watch is no longer original now. You can see the "T SWISS T" below the dial. Before 1960s, Rolex didn't use the logo. It was also said that Eisenhower gave the watch to his valet, Sergeant John Moaney.
Eisenhower's most famous photograph of Rolex was the cover of the current LIFE magazine, published in July 21, 1952.

The OMEGA may be the most famous one ever worn by President Kennedy, a gift from his friend Grant. When Grant gave him the watch in 1960, Kennedy had yet to take part in the election, and Grant had written "President Kennedy - your friend Grant" on the back of the table.

In 2009, this watch in the Antiquorum auction will be sold at a price of $120000.
Although President Kennedy has never worn it, the Rolex is undoubtedly one of the most talked about of all his watches, the reason for it is that he gave the table to Marilyn Monro, who was a national fan of the year. The table is engraved with the words "JACK / With, love, as, always / from / MARILYN / May, 29th 1962" (Jack, as always, love, from Marilyn, May 29, 1962).

Laobiao fans will not unfamiliar to Patek Philippe 2526, this is the first generation Patek Philippe automatic watch, which is equipped with the 12-600 movement is called the "automatic wang". There is no doubt that President Johnson's 2526 is a collection of value, which is now being collected by the linden Baines Johnson library and Museum in Texas.
It is said that President Johnson I love "do unto others" this sentence is very. In one of his Hamilton electronic watch dial this sentence also printed. The watch was a present received by Johnson in 1964 when he was named president, or was distributed by the government.

On the back of the table are the words "to Senator Johnson, the Democratic Party of Mcdowell County, Welch, WV, October 18, 1958", and it is recorded that Johnson did visit them on that day.
The peculiar shape of the watch is very important in the history of Hamilton, the brand is still in the continuation of this design. It can be seen in many American movies. Including Elvis's "blue passion", will Smith's "black man" and so on.
President Johnson is very fond of noisy watches on Waterloo road. The 3105004 - meter watch has the initials "LBJ" in Johnson's name, and comes with a calendar window.
In one of Johnson's photos, he seems to have worn a two color dial with no calendar window. With the love of Waterloo watches, President Johnson even sent letters to Waterloo himself. And when attending a meeting in Geneva, ask the subordinate to go to the store to buy, and how much you can buy and how much you want to buy. He wants to give it to others as a gift.

President Nixon's Waterloo watch was presented to him by the National Association of clocks and watches, and Nixon made a speech to the society in May 20, 1955. In 1960, Nixon sent the watch to Waterloo Road for maintenance, and enclosed a letter expressing its affection for the watch.
Gerald Rudolf • thirty-eighth president of Ford (1974-1977)
In 1970s, when quartz watches were sweeping across the globe, we found that, after this period, most American presidents gave up the high priced Swiss watches and wore quartz watches. Very pragmatic, perhaps due to personal public image.
President Ford often wears a PULSAR electronic watch. It was said that in 1995, when was being celebrated in Helsinki, Keijo Paajanen had given him a nest of noisy watches, but he was not sure whether President had worn them.
Jimmy Carter, thirty-ninth president (1977-1981)
We're not sure what watches President Carter wore, because he always wears watches on the inside of his wrists. According to a recent photo, he seems to be wearing electronic watches have been timex.
It is said that President Carter also received a Keijo Paajanen's nest road noise meter, but he is not sure whether he has worn it.
Ronald Wilson Reagan, fortieth president (1981-1989)
As a matter of fact, every new president has received a watch handed out by Waterloo Road since he learned that his watch was favored by the president of the United states. President Reagan also has one, but it's also not sure if he has worn it. He usually wears a stainless steel Rolex Datejust watch.
George Herbert Walker Bush, forty-first president (1989-1992)
For President Bush's watch, we only know that he has received a wrist watch from a nest road and a CLARE watch given by Gary Clare, but it is not sure whether Bush has worn it.
But there is a famous allusion to his watch: in the presidential debate in 1992, he looked at his watch frequently, which was considered very eccentric and cold by the public. Since then, every presidential candidate has been particularly careful not to watch his watches during the debate.
William Jefferson Clinton, forty-second president (1993-2001)
Ironman electronic form during President Clinton often wear a Timex, because this watch and his identity is very inappropriate, even caused a lot of media and public discontent. In 1994, when he landed in Normandy at 50th anniversary, someone gave Clinton a LIP watch, but we didn't have more information about that watch, nor did Clinton himself wear it.
In fact, Clinton is a true collector, in his office, it was discovered that he had a lot of advanced wrist watch figure, including but not limited to Jaeger Le Coulter, Roger Dolby, Rolex (probably modified models), Audemars Pigeut, Panerai etc.. If there's a chance, we'll dig Clinton's hide list later.
George Walker Bush, forty-third president (2001-2009)
President Bush seems to have been wearing the watch at the beginning of Timex campaign, was originally a i-Control, then seems to have replaced the Indiglo stainless steel watch. It is said that in the Bush Presidential Center can buy with Bush's signature timex, probably around $60.

Barack Obama, forty-fourth president (2009-2016)
Since Obama began to participate in the election, people seem to pay special attention to his wrist, originally a tag heuer 1500 diving table. After taking office, we see the most is a JORG GRAY chronograph, this is the birthday of Obama in August 2007, the United States Secret Service gave him a gift, dial 12, with the United States Secret Service Department logo.
This also brings life to JORG GRAY, JORG GRAY launched a homeopathic Obama Memorial watches, JG6500-44, back engraved with "the forty-fourth president of the United States, Barack Obama, January 20, 2009, commemorative edition" and other words, the price of $695. Obama wore the same wrist watch, JG6500, for $395, without the secret service logo.
In addition, we found that President Obama wore a Highgear Enduro electronic watch with an electronic compass and an New Balance N7 electronic watch.
Waterloo still follows tradition, creating a special watch for Obama, with the words "American president Barack Obama" on his back, and the date of his election as President: November 4, 2008. In August 14, 2009, President Obama thanked Mr. Lu for his personal reply.
Donald Trump, the forty-fifth president of the United States (2017 -)
I'm really not interested in digging into the table for the rich and powerful president of the United states. It is said that he has also introduced his own brand watches, and his taste for watches is really not good from the photos circulated on the internet.
