- This clock was acquired in the mid-1980s (exact date unknown) by William Jonathan Drayton Jr., professionally known as Flavor Flav. Drayton wore this clock during the late 1980s and early 1990s during performances and appearances with the group Public Enemy. Drayton said that this was most likely the first clock he wore during a performance with Public Enemy, but he couldn’t be 100% sure. He last wore it on stage while performing with Public Enemy during the NMAAHC’s grand opening concert on 09.24.2016, with the intention to donate it to the museum. .
