Museum Provenance
So extraordinary, the world still knows her by her first name. So stylish, her fashion choices—oversized sunglasses, glass pearls, statement jewelry, a simple tank watch—are as on-trend today as in the heyday of Camelot. Many of Jackie’s personal items, including gowns and her signature faux pearls, are part of The First Ladies, an exhibit at the National Museum of American History.
Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.
Had to return the watch because the metal rod in the clasp was broken.

Purchased for my wife for Christmas. She likes it. She can be picky. It is better than many that have a plastic strap and is stylish.

Comments about Leather Strap Watch:
I have been searching for a stylish watch for a while. I didn't want to spend a small fortune, but wanted something that appeared elegant. When I saw the watch, I didn't hesitate. I have recieved many complements. It is a watch that wears well with everything. I found many items in the Jackie Kennedy collection to be of similar quality.

Comments about Leather Strap Watch:
This watch is absolutely gorgeous. It is very stylish yet classic at the same time. I haven't removed it except to shower since I got it. It is appropriate for everyday/work, yet elegant enough for evening and dress occasions. I love the kind of closure it has because it leaves a totally clean line with no strap overhang showing. I can understand why Jackie would have loved a watch like this - it is as understated and classy, as she was. I knew I was going to like it when I ordered it, but when I received it, it was so much more than I expected it to be! I can't say enough about it - I truly love it.
