A bit of online research about the picture, the photographer and the current owner ... Getty Images is a "for profit" set-up and the largest owner of pictures

That's the Pic that started the HSTE life at PuristS quite a while ago - I therefore grabbed the opportunity last year to purchase the copyrights of this pic from Getty Images.

AP RO 5402 A-12xx "Karl". Watch and pic now. Should we call it a "full set"? Cheers, HSTE ...  

A real piece of history both horological and cultural. Thanks for sharing. [nt]

Almost cooler than owning the watch I think, almost.

How does one even go about doing that? How did you know the rights were available or is their entire catalogue in theory available. Very curious.

I really miss Karl. He made this world more interesting. I love watching old clips with him on YouTube. He is truly inspiring.
