TALAT'S MAIN CONCERT HARMONIUM IS ON THE LEFT AND ON THE RIGHT IS THE
BACK-UP HARMONIUM WHICH WENT ALONG ON EVERY CONCERT TRIP IN CASE THE MAIN
HARMONIUM DEVELOPED ANY PROBLEMS. BOTH ARE THE FOLDING TYPE AND CAN CLOSE

TALAT'S SENTIMENTAL FAVOURITE !
This watch was gifted to Talat in 1990 by his son Khalid after Khalid
returned from England to celebrate the stupendously successful release of
his music album "King Of Hearts". It was a very tiny gesture of "Thanks"
from a grateful son to his ever loving father, whose blessings had helped
him immeasurably in achieving this level of success. For Talat, it was a
very emotional and sentimental moment to see his son record this
success on his own in life. Ever since then, inspite of having a huge
stock of some of the worlds best watches, Talat only wore this watch till
his death in 1998. Not only was Talat a great singer, he was also a great
father and a greater human being.
