There is so much history tied to that family and those watches, I don't understand how anyone could sell them. Shame.

It would be interesting to find ought more on how Graves actually saved the watch industry as stated in this article. I gues his interest and maybe the competition with Packard drove more publicity and it appears as it did drive more inovation. Thanks again Carl.
