A yellow gold Lemania chronograph made c.1946 and owned by the great Winston Churchill will be offered for sale by Sotheby\u2019s in London on April 25 during the auction house\u2019s Watches<\/em> sale. Of course with all things Churchill-related, the watch has an interesting history. In 1946 the great statesman delivered two significant historical speeches, one of which was at the University of Zurich. In this famous address, he proposed \u201ca kind of United States of Europe\u201d, based on improved relations between the French and the Germans, ending with the invocation, \u201cLet Europe Arise\u201d.<\/p>\n

Winston Churchill’s Watches<\/h2>\n

Churchill had been staying in Switzerland for three weeks at the lavish Villa de Choisi in the Canton of Vaud. During an official visit to the city of Lausanne, Churchill was greeted by an adoring populace who gifted him with the watch. It is inscribed \u201cLe canton de Vaud A son hote illustre Mr. Winston Churchill aout-september 1946<\/em>\u201d, which means \u201cFrom the Canton of Vaud to its famous guest Mr. Winston Churchill August-September 1946\u201d. Churchill kept the watch all his life. Lemania watches are high prized by vintage collectors. In 1932, Lemania, Omega, and Tissot<\/a> merged to form SSIH group, and the brand is now part of Breguet.<\/p>\n

The Churchill watch, which is expected to fetch up to $30,000, isn\u2019t the only important piece in the auction.
