      Denmark


      The U.S. chose the name "Virgin Islands" when it took formal possession of the Danish West Indies on March 31, 1917. The U.S. bought the islands from Denmark for $25 million. The island chain consists of St. Thomas, St. Croix, St. John, and about 50 other small islands, most of which are uninhabited.

        When we agreed to go toe-to-toe on this point I was expecting Mr. Forster the Grand Master of Horology at HODINKEE link to bring link out some truly entry-level link watches bringing the goods in terms of visible movement exhibition.
