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).
