Longines Watch

William Branham used the stage persona of a poor, humble evangelist from the hills of Kentucky who refused to take an offering and seemed surprised each time offering was collected for his ministry.  In reality, Branham was quite wealthy and enjoyed luxuries that a majority of his cult following could not afford.  According to Sarah Branham's letter entitled Take It With You, William Branham had amassed 3,244,321[1] the equivalent of $27,725,555.29 in 2021.[2]

Though most people in his cult following are unaware, William Branham wore a very expensive luxury Longines wristwatch.  Longines watches today sell for as much as $17,875.[3]

And I had on a watch, and I took hold of a woman there first that had a tumor, and the tumor stopped… The vibrations stopped my watch. I can’t pray for people with a watch on. I can show it to you this afternoon. It’ll stop it every time, vibrations over that brand new Longines watch. It’ll—it’ll stop; the vibration would stop it. And I showed a minister from Ukraine; he’s here in the audience this afternoon somewhere. And he… It—it stopped. The vibration stopped it.
Branham, William. 1947, November 2. The Angel Of God (47-1102).
