History
Established companies used to recognize long years of employee service with a gold watch as a retirement gift.

At Apple Computer, certificates for awards are known to have been signed by co-founder Steve Jobs prior to his death in 2011. Subsequent certificates were signed by current Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook. Early awards consisted of framed certificates only, but later included a laser-cut and etched glass award for 10-year employees. Sometime around 2020 or 2021, metal awards were introduced for 10, 20, 30, and 40-year employees.
