Lennon's Stolen Patek Philippe Watch

[Book Lover]

The June 24th issue of The New Yorker has an interesting article about
John's watch. Given to him by Yoko 4 months before his death it was
locked in a room at the Dakota and reportedly stolen around 2005.

Great article! Thanks for posting the link.

Seriously, that was the best new Lennon-related article I've read in
years.

The writer knows his Lennonology -- to the extent of knowing that Ono
was going to bed with Sam Green at the time she gave Lennon that
super-expensive (and surely technologically over his head) watch. He
even knows about Green's curious relationships with Barbara Baekeland
and Greta Garbo.

Somebody should write a book about Sam Green -- although Goldman
practically did, if you extract his stuff on Green from the Lennon bio.

I wish Ono's apparently thieving Turkish assistant would tell his side
of the story in more detail.

Incidentally, if one searches Google Images for "Yoko Ono, Koral
Karsan," numerous photographs of the two walking together, leaving
restaurants, etc., come up.

A letter of Karsan's came up in one of their court cases in which he
mentioned to Yoko that he had been her "confidant and lover." Given
Yoko's shifting story as to what role Karsan played in her life (that as
her story had shifted with regard to her earlier relationship with the
gay decorator Sam Havadtoy), I'm inclined to think Karsan was being
truthful.

What, I wonder, led to Karsan's and Ono's falling out? Ono really has
trouble maintaining friendships.
