Schwarzkopf Datejusts in the wild

I saw an elderly gentleman with a vintage datejust on each wrist today. One was a two-tone with gold dial, the other a steel with a fluted bezel and a textured silver dial.

He told me he was just "feeding them" meaning he wanted them wound. He did not want me to take a picture, but it was cool to see a watch lover basically just taking his pieces out for a walk.

Why is called Schwartzkoph? Did he wear multiple watches?

There was a guy called General Norman Schwartzkoph who was known to wear a watch on each wrist. One for local time, and the other for Afghanistan.

If only someone had bought him a GMT watch. :)
