Luxury good sales have nosedived in the recent past, all thanks to recession but the same cannot be said about Jorg Gray, high end luxury watch maker. Jorg Gray watch was gifted to US President Barack Obama by the Secret Service Agent on his 46th birthday. The agents had been looking for something good looking, rugged and highly accurate and for this reason Jorg Gray watched got a nod.

The 6500 Chronograph Commemorative Edition is only available at the Secret Service store with the agency logo on the front and sells for $325. It sports the date of Jan. 20, 2009 when President Barack Obama was sworn in as the president.

At $325, I would say it’s still a bargain.
