German scientist Albert Einstein wore a gold Longines watch. Not only this, but the physicist also owned a Longines pocket watch too. You could make the claim that he was quite fond of the Longines brand.
This model was released in the 1930s and has a striking black strap. In 2008, it was auctioned for the price of $596,000, which was the most expensive ever Longines watch to sell at auction. To add to the historical element, his watch also had his name inscribed on the back.
