Tudor 7909 surnamed ‘Sikorsky’

Mar 18, 2021,15:44 PM
 

A couple of years ago, i was very happy to find this Tudor Prince, not an ordinary one, starting from the logo in the dial. 


The logo represents the Sikorsky Aircraft Company, founded in 1923 by a Ukranian immigrant in the United States.

Let’s now go to the back case...


FRED J. BOLDUSOFF appears to be the original owner. After a bit of research, wow...the easy point; 25 years as an engineer at Sikorsky.

But it’s not all; Boldusoff was also a bit of an inventor in his own right, with a rather peculiar focus. You know those little dental floss picks you can buy at the drug store? They’re more or less an evolution of a Boldusoff dental floss holder design, which the Connecticut man patented back in June of 1939.

Curious? Funny? 

Interesting, as minimum!


Best,

M

Love the 3, 6, 9 and, when possible, 12 numeral white dials from Rolex and Tudor. Thanks for sharing!

Anecdotes of watches are what makes this hobby so interesting. My 1955 reference 7934 says hello! HAGWE! Clive ...
