Mais uma marca usada por Elvis Presley

[JeanFabricio]

Como alguns já puderam perceber, eu sou fã de Elvis Presley.
E como gosto de relógios, costumo de vez em quando pesquisar os relógios que ele usou.
Algumas marcas que ele usou eu já tinha conhecimento:
- Elgin Lord "jump hour", 1957;
- Bulova Accutron Astronaut 214, com uma pulseira personalizada, em 1968;
- Hamilton Ventura, pelo menos três, no início da década de 1960;
- Longines, em março de 1960;
- Omega (pelo menos 4): um Seamaster cal. 503 calendário, usado em 1958-1960 (exército), outro em 1961, outro em 1963 e outro em 1970;
- Rolex (pelo menos 2), um deles modelo King Midas. #313, que ele deixou cair na piscina;
- um modelo que não dá para identificar, mas que todo fã conhece: o relógio-guitarra:

Mas ontem vi um relógio que ele fez para ele e outras pessoas: Mathey-Tissot.

Abaixo, algumas informações (as que contém o "valor" são de leilões de exemplares do relógio):

==================================================

Elvis Presley's Mathey Tissot gold watch.  Elvis Presley's Mathey Tissot gold watch with "Elvis Presley" engraved into the dial around the face of the watch.  Elvis had about twelve of these watches made by his Memphis jeweler, Harry Levitch.  They were originally made for Elvis to give to the other recipients of the Jaycee's Award for the top ten outstanding young men of America, which Elvis received in 1971.  Accompanied by a LOA from Gerald Frazzini, police officer and personal bodyguard to Elvis.  Frazzini received this watch on February 3, 1971, at the Las Vegas Hilton whilst in Elvis' suite for the celebration of Lisa Marie's 3rd birthday. $4,000 – $8,000

Elvis Presley Mathey-Tissot Watch

The Mathey-Tissot wristwatch represents one of the first jewelry items that Elvis had custom designed. A tastefully designed man's watch that displayed the date, the timepiece featured the name "Elvis Presley" on the beveled edge that encircled the face. Elvis gave the watches as gestures of respect and fellowship to friends and acquaintances.

After being honored as one of the Jaycees' Outstanding Young Men of the Year, Elvis hosted a cocktail party at Graceland for the other nine honorees, and he presented each of them with a Mathey-Tissot watch as they came through the door. A mix-up ensued, and Elvis accidentally gave one to an assistant transportation chairman for the Jaycees. Elvis as embarrassed but would not ask the Jaycee to give the watch back, lest he would embarrass the man as well. Instead, he ordered an additional watch for the ninth honoree. Today, any of the Mathey-Tissot Elvis Presley watches are worth at least $8,500.

==================================================

Elvis Presley Customized Watch, Owned and Worn by Redd Foxx. Before the famous "TCB" necklaces, there were the custom-made "Elvis Presley" watches that the King gifted to his special inner circle of family, friends, selected staff, band members, and other privileged insiders. Owning the watch identified the wearer as one with "all access" status at Elvis' concerts and tours. This particular watch was presented as a gift from Elvis to his friend, comedian and actor Redd Foxx. The watch is from a design that Elvis commissioned of famed Memphis jeweler Harry Levitch in 1969, who crafted the signature a bezel with "Elvis Presley" in raised circular letters. The best estimate is that only 24-50 of these watches were made, making each one a prized collectible. The premium watch is a Mathey-Tissot model, self-winding , water resistant, with a sweeping second hand, a day/date display, a stainless steel underside, and a striking brown leather cuff-style band. Still functional, with minimal wear, this one comes with LOAs from Jeanne Foxx, and a b&w snapshot of Foxx with the Presleys on their wedding day at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas, 1967, a few years before he was presented the watch by Elvis.

Estimated Price: $4,800 - $7,200

==================================================

Elvis Presley Customized Inner Circle Watch. Only 25-50 of these customized watches were produced, making each one a rarity prized by Elvis fans worldwide. In 1969, Elvis commissioned Memphis jeweler Harry Levitch to create a watch for his family, close friends, staff, and others of a select circle. His generosity is legend, but these watches also served to identify the wearer as privileged, with "all access" at Elvis' concerts and tours. Levitch created a bezel with "Elvis Presley" in raised circular letters for this Mathey-Tissot "Automatic" model, which is self-winding, water-resistant, has a sweeping second hand, a day/date display, a stainless steel underside, and an adjustable wrist band. This particular watch was given by Elvis to Earl Pritchett Jr., head groundskeeper at Graceland; Pritchett later traded it to Elvis' long-time friend Sheriff Tom Morgan Jr. The watch is still functional and in Very Fine to Excellent condition with only very mild wear. Accompanied by an LOA from Sheriff Thomas B. Morgan Jr. (Ret.).

Estimated Price: $9,600 - $14,400
