This is the most liked Facebook photo of all time - Barack Obama hugging his wife Michelle after winning the Tuesday’s presidential election. A short caption "Four more years." has announced Obama's second term as president of the US, hitting no less than 2.1 million likes just a couple of hours and becoming the most popular tweet in history.
This soul-stirring photo shows Obama hugging his wife, smiling gently with his eyes closed, against a cloudy and backdrop, as it embodies the president's crucial values of love, loyalty, trust - and his taste in watches. The watch Barack Obama was wearing on Presidential Election Day - on Tuesday, 6 November 2012 - is the Jorg Gray 6500, which was given to him by the Secret Service as a birthday gift in August 2007. The watch has a United States Secret Service seal printed on the dial and Obama wears it regularly on all important public occasions.
In honor of the inauguration of Barack Obama as president of the United States on January 20th 2009, Jorg Gray has released a limited commemorative edition of the 6500 President's watch. Each piece in this range comes with an individual serial number, which is something that we don't see very often for watches in this price range. Along with the serial number, the Jorg Gray President Barack Obama Commemorative Edition watch bears an engraving on the solid case-back: "The 44th President of the United States Barack H. Obama, January 20th 2009, Commemorative Edition."
Obama's Jorg Gray JG6500 watch is crafted from stainless steel and paired with a matte black dial. The piece is designed in the spirit of traditional aviator watches, and it provides two separate time-keeping functions: measuring elapsed time and telling time in 12-hour format. The functions are powered by a 60 minute Japanese Miyota chronograph quartz movement which also animates the date indicator at 4:30. There's also a subsidiary seconds counter at 6 o'clock, the 60-minute counter at 9 o'clock, and a 42-hour indicator at 3 o'clock.
The good news is that you too can own the President's watch, since it is available for purchase at the Jorg Gray website, Ebay.com or Amazon.com. The one bearing the Secret Service seal, however, is available exclusively at the SS’s employee store, but the rumor goes that all of the models with the Secret Service logo have been already sold out! Jorg Gray 6500 President Barack Obama Commemorative Edition retails at $395 for stainless steel men's model, or $425.00 for stainless steel men's watch with rose gold finish.
