I wondered how NASA had selected this LeCoultre watch and where these special Mercury 7 watches had been made. But some things were absolutely certain. This was the watch that had been issued to the seven Mercury link astronauts. This was the watch that Glenn had worn in the period immediately before and immediately after link his February 1962 flight. And link this was the next watch that belonged in my collection. I called Karen Jones, and three days after sending the bank link check, I received the watch.
