WINSTON CHURCHILL They tried to make me stay on time, always. But what's the harm in 10 addi- tional minutes of sleep? Setting all the clocks in my rooms ahead was a clev- er trick, but my Turnip never lied. The seventh Duke of Marlborough — my grandfather — purchased it in 1890, and it was passed down to me. I have nothing against wristwatches and even owned a few, but I preferred my Breguet pocket watch. My great-grandson Randolph owns it now; timepieces such as this one must remain in the family. Breguet Complications 1907 pocket watch in gold, price upon request, at the Tourbillon boutique, Ben Bridge, Zadok Jewelers. Tiffany & Co. CT60 in rose gold, $15,000, at Tiffany & Co. Longines Heritage 1969 in steel, $2,050, at Zadok Jewelers. SERGE GAINSBOURG It might not surprise you, but time wasn't all that important to me. I had my people to tell me when I needed to be somewhere, and I was usually on time — that surprises you, no? I did wear watches, of course, never went outside without one. Just look at all those photographs! My cigarette and my Speedmaster: I made them famous. Jane has a dresser drawer in her bedroom full of my watches, and I am happy to see that she winds them regularly. Merci, beautiful.
