Record
The McDowell County Democrats presented this Hamilton Electric Pacer to Senator Lyndon B. Johnson on 18 October 1958, a fact engraved on the case back. Christie’s sold it on 21 June 2017 for $18,750; its asymmetrical form can be identified in photographs of Johnson. The object is individually identifiable rather than merely an example of its model, which is important for Arcarel’s object-level record. The cited Christie's source supplies the key provenance, event or institutional facts used here. No unnamed buyer or owner has been inferred, and fields not established by the source are left blank. Its significance comes from the combination of the physical watch and the documented people, events, institutions or market history attached to this specific specimen.
