It appears to have been well-loved by the actress.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It has a wonderful vintage style and both bracelet and watch are signed Bulova. It was made and presumably subsequently used by her near the peak of her career in 1953, the year she made her last film and transitioned to starring in television, a relatively new medium at the time, in her dramatic anthology series, \"The Loretta Young Show.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The series earned three Emmy Awards, and was re-run successfully on daytime TV and later in syndication. The program ran in prime time on NBC for eight years, the longest-running primetime network program hosted by a woman up to that time. In the 1980s, Young returned to the small screen and won a Golden Globe for her role in Christmas Eve in 1986.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A successful child star who began her career at only four years old, Ms. Young had a long a varied career in film from 1917 to 1953.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In 1934 she co-starred with Cary Grant in Born to Be Bad and in 1935 was cast with Clark Gable and Jack Oakie in the film version of Jack London's The Call of the Wild, directed by William Wellman.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Young made as many as eight movies a year. In 1947, she won an Oscar for her performance in The Farmer's Daughter. That same year, she co-starred with Cary Grant and David Niven in The Bishop's Wife, a perennial favorite. In 1949, she received another Academy Award nomination for Come to the Stable. In 1953, she appeared in her last theatrical film, It Happens Every Thursday, a Universal comedy about a New York couple who move to California to take over a struggling weekly newspaper; her co-star was John Forsythe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In 1988, Young received the Women in Film Crystal Award for outstanding women who through their endurance and the excellence of their work helped expand the role of women in the entertainment industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Young has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame: one for her work in television, at 6135 Hollywood Boulevard, and the other for her work in motion pictures, at 6100 Hollywood Boulevard.

The U.S. government even asked Bulova to delay the release of their cutting edge new watches for fear the technology might fall into the hands of the Russians.

The American Film Institute in 1999 ranked Garbo fifth on its list of the greatest female stars of classic Hollywood cinema.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Three times Garbo was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress and twice received the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actress. In a 1950 Daily Variety opinion poll, Garbo was voted \"Best Actress of the Half Century\", and in 1957, she was given The George Eastman Award, awarded by George Eastman House for distinguished contribution to the art of film. She also received many other distinctions and honors, including in her native Sweden.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Known for her melancholic, somber persona, her portrayals of tragic characters, and her subtle and understated performances, Garbo captivated audiences worldwide with her unparalleled talent and charisma.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Garbo began her career with a minor role in the 1924 Swedish film The Saga of Gösta Berling, but it was her performance in Flesh and the Devil (1927), her third movie, that made her an international star. Her success caught the attention of Louis B. Mayer, chief executive of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), who brought her to Hollywood in 1925. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Garbo went on to star in many well-known silent films, including The Mysterious Lady (1928) and The Kiss (1929). Her transition to sound films was marketed with the tagline \"Garbo talks!\" for her first sound film, Anna Christie (1930), and her performances in this film and Romance earned her the first of three Academy Award nominations for Best Actress. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Throughout the 1930s, Garbo continued to star in successful films such as Mata Hari (1931), Susan Lenox (Her Fall and Rise) (1931), Grand Hotel (1932), Queen Christina (1933), and Anna Karenina (1935). Her performance as the doomed courtesan Marguerite Gautier in Camille (1936) is considered by many critics and film historians to be her finest, and it earned her a second Academy Award nomination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e She retired from the screen at only 35 years old after acting in 28 films. In 1954, Garbo was awarded an Academy Honorary Award for her luminous and unforgettable screen performances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After retiring from acting, Garbo became an art collector and shunned publicity while leading a private life. Her paintings included works by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Pierre Bonnard, and Kees van Dongen. She remained an enduring cultural icon, inspiring new generations of filmmakers and audiences alike with her legendary performances and enigmatic persona.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Despite her reputation for reclusiveness, she is said to have had many friends with whom she socialized and traveled. During her long retirement, she walked the streets of New York City, dressed informally, and wore large sunglasses. \"Garbo-watching\" became a sport for the media, admirers, and inquisitive New Yorkers, yet she held on to her elusive mystique to the end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Garbo's legacy as one of the greatest actresses of all time continues to be celebrated today, and her impact on the world of film and popular culture is a testament to her talent and enduring appeal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur new Celebrity Collection:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I'm excited to have launched a collection that is composed of 72 watches owned or worn by 38 iconic celebrities and public figures.

But what makes this piece truly compelling is that it predates that later icon, offering a glimpse into the design language just as it was taking shape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is not an homage watch; it’s part of the earlier wave that provided the inspiration. During the 1970s, watchmakers were experimenting with a new idea: a fully integrated steel watch that could be worn anywhere, blending the presence of a sports watch with the refinement of a dress piece. The result would eventually become one of the defining aesthetics in modern collecting. And here, Bulova delivers its own interpretation - clean, architectural, and well-designed; so well-designed in fact, that it looks remarkably like the Overseas that followed it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe case with distinctive bezel and bracelet are the story. Rather than treating the bracelet as an accessory, it is conceived as an extension of the watch itself. The links taper with purpose, the surfaces alternate between brushed and polished finishes, and the overall silhouette has a sculptural quality that feels far more considered than most watches at this level. On the wrist, it wears with the same kind of integrated confidence that collectors seek in far more expensive pieces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThat comparison becomes even more meaningful when you consider what the Overseas represents today. As one of the cornerstone models from Vacheron Constantin, the Overseas sits firmly in the top tier of modern luxury sports watches alongside the most iconic designs in the category. Contemporary examples sell for well into five figures, with precious metal and complicated versions climbing significantly higher. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe dial shows the kind of restraint that makes watches like the Overseas so versatile: at home with a jacket or on its own. Its brushed silver finish gives the watch a monochromatic look. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUnderneath, a Swiss automatic movement provides the mechanical backbone. It isn’t a watch meant to sit in a drawer; it’s meant to be part of a daily rotation, just as these integrated sport watches were originally intended. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt measures a full 36mm in diameter, the size of Rolex Datejust. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt has all of its original parts down and presents in gorgeous condition - as a 9.5 out of 10. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIts case, with faceted bezel, presents as mint. Its untouched original dial presents as perfect mint. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIts original integrated bracelet has virtually no stretch and presents as mint.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOne of our Master Watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it. It is running strong and true, keeping very accurate time in our testing recording position.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFor the finishing touch, we have meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIncluded with the purchase is a one-year warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to the watch's performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYour watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime.
