An Exquisite Piece of Basketball History

From the heart of the Dennis Johnson family comes an extraordinary piece of basketball memorabilia that encapsulates a momentous occasion in NBA history.

Design and Craftsmanship

The watch face is adorned with a central shamrock, a nod to the Celtics’ iconic emblem, and the inscription “XV,” signifying Boston’s 15th championship title.

The clasp is meticulously engraved with “DONNA JOHNSON” and the date “JUNE 12, 1984,” commemorating the decisive Game 7 at the Boston Garden. A raised Omega logo graces the left of the engraving, adding a touch of elegance to this remarkable artifact.
