KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE
The voice, the golden microphone, the man, the legend and arguably Australia’s undisputed king of radio.
Hello world, I’m referring to the one and only, Richard John Sinclair Laws, (John Laws) CBE, also known as Lawsie.
Born 8th August 1935 and at 84 years old at time of writing, Lawsies voice continues to grace the Australian radio airways even after 60 years when he first began his radio career back in 1953.
Mesmerising the nation with talk-back radio, great music, commanding interviews, politically incorrect opinions, irreverent logic and with his no BS approach that’s made John Laws such a successful and controversial broadcaster.
The first time I heard the magical tones of his golden tonsils was back in 1989 when I began my jewellery apprenticeship at the young age of 16. Unbeknownst to John, he became one of my mentors, I even called him one day to tell him what’s on my mind and he sent me this awesome watch. I have been enthusiastically devoted to John ever since.
Because of John, I choose to fly Qantas, I own a Toyota, I enjoy the odd Wild Turkey and Pepsi and I kill insects with Mortien, you know what I mean? Also I've had the pleasure of visiting the home of John and Caroline at his Cloud Valley Property.
After Johns retirement in 2007, I was battling with saudade. Lets just say I am learning to let go of my deep sentimental, emotional and spiritual connection I have with John through this watch.
This watch has been part of my private collection for 30 years and has a great deal of sentimental value. It has never been worn and still in brand new condition with original packaging. Even the battery is original so it its not working at the moment.
This watch in this condition is so rare that the only way to get one is to go back in time and call Lawsie, but we all know that is not an option so it is very hard to put a price on this, therefore I have set the price to AU$100,000.00 yes that's right, One Hundred Thousand Dollars.
This price is obviously open to offers so don’t miss your opportunity to own this John Laws signature edition iconic and authentic quality 2UE ‘Keeping the Dream Alive’ Quality Time Piece.
Love him or hate him, John Laws has been a staple in the Australian Radio scene for over 60 years and this watch would make an excellent addition for those collectors of memorabilia.
As John Laws always says, 'You be kind to each other'
