Taken from acquisition proposal: This watch was given to Prime Minister Stephen Harper by Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi of Italy at the G8 Summit in L’Aquila. This summit was moved from the city of La Maddalena to L’Aquila as part of an attempt to redistribute disaster funds after the 2009 L’Aquila earthquake. In addition to Prime Minister Harper, this watch was given to the other representatives at the “G8 from La Maddalena to L’Aquila Summit 2009.” These representatives were: Silvio Berlusconi (Italy), Barack Obama (USA), Gordon Brown (UK), Nicolas Sarkozy (France), Dimitry Medvedev (Russia), Angela Merkel (Germany), Taro Aso (Japan), Josè Barroso (Ec), and Frederik Reinfeldt (Eu).

Taken from acquisition proposal: The mechanical movement watch is Swiss made and manually wound. It is “skeletonized”, meaning the metal parts are reduced to a minimum to make the moving parts visible. The rose gold dial has a perforated design of the cross of Nicola da Guardiagrele. The Basile watch company has been in operation since 1870. It is currently based in Venice and managed by the 4th generation of Basile’s. - Area Notes
