Jorg Gray to Unveil Collection at BASELWORLD 2011
What started as a specialty private-label watch company quickly became a worldwide consumer brand as Jorg Gray gained international recognition when then-Senator Barack Obama began wearing the Jorg Gray 6500 Chronograph, a gift he received from his Secret Service detail in 2007. Demand for this striking and sophisticated watch grew as Obama was photographed with the timepiece at numerous notable events, including his presidential election speech and historic inauguration, spurring Jorg Gray to create a Commemorative Edition 6500. Since then, the Jorg Gray Collection has expanded to include complete men's and ladies' lines as President Obama continues to sport the original JG6500. Today, Jorg Gray timepieces can be found at fine retailers throughout the United States and in major cities around the world from London to Bangkok, Mexico City to Kuala Lumpur.
