She did have a very simple Breguet on her but not this one. This wasn't completed until 34 years after her death. It is a very beautiful thing though.

Here's an article about its theft in 1983 from a museum in Israel and subsequent recovery in 06/07. Interesting stuff!

Slightly more utilitarian than most things in the thread...

You are Jeremy Corbyn, and I claim my prize.

Oh, hang on the shoe's not brown. My mistake.

No, I'm not Jeremy Corbyn (although I do own brown shoes). I am a fan of grids/manholes though.

Here's another for your collection. I took it in Ueno Park in Tokyo.



I think they're great. Shame more of ours aren't like this.
