Do you wear a pocket watch? More a carry item surely?
Andrew Aldridge, the auctioneer said: “The Astor watch including all fees and taxes has now become the most valuable piece of Titanic memorabilia ever sold, just beating the £1.1 million paid for the Wallace Hartley violin over 10 years ago.”

Is it fair to say that people carry mobile phones that are regularly used for the time in their pocket? Meet in the middle maybe?

Why is £1.1m < £900k?
Both sold for £900k, including fees and taxes the watch reached £1.175 million, the violin (that was played as the ship sank, 1912) reached £1.1 million (2013).
The case for that violin was also sold today (2024) at the same auction as the pocket watch at Henry Aldridge & Son for £360,000.
