Tudor 7909 surnamed ‘Sikorsky’

 
 By: levelero : March 18th, 2021-15:44

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














Damn, your pictures don't come!

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

Thanks for sharing!

Same feeling here!!
