Ray Culley was ahead of his times in many ways. In this circa 1928 photograph, Culley (right) is handed a piece of jewelry—probably a watch—which he will later take into the sky and drop from his plane in order to demonstrate its durability. Later, in the 1950s, Timex, an American watch manufacturing company, would begin airing its popular TV commercials that demonstrated the durability of its products in similar ways. | Source: Jim CulleyDownload Original File
