The Plot Thickens . . . "Johnson" Style LeCoultre Watch, as Issued to the Mercury Astronauts
Mar 16, 2018,10:31 AM
So here is one of the "Johnson" / astronaut style watches (issued by NASA engineer Harold Johnson to the seven Mercury astronauts), sold on eBay approximately one year ago.
Listed as a "Quartermaster", we see that it matches the "Johnson" watches, except for the hands. Note the absence of "Swiss" markings, etc.
So could this have been an ordinary watch made by LeCoultre for the normal retail channel? One of the eight "Johnson" watches? A test / prototype for the Johnson watches?
So many questions . . . so few answers . . . at least so far!!
