A gold pocket watch with a storied history will be up for auction this weekend in the United Kingdom. The watch belonged to Isidor Straus, the co-owner of Macy’s, who tragically perished alongside his wife, Ida, when the Titanic sank.
For generations, the watch remained within the Straus family. Now, it is set to be sold, marking a significant moment for Titanic memorabilia collectors.
The auction house described the watch as “one of the most important and iconic Titanic items ever” and anticipates it will fetch more than $1 million.
This auction provides a rare opportunity for collectors and history enthusiasts to own a piece of Titanic history.
