Click here for more details on this extremely rare 1992 Zenith Deck Chronometre in silver. Hodinkee in Zenith, Zenith 5011K Movement, Zenith Deck Chronometre Wednesday, August 27, 2008 at 3:54PM Like the Kennedy Onassis replica Vacheron Constantin watch below, this Zenith pocket watch will be on the block at Antiquorum's March auction.Also like the watch below, it belonged to an iconic figure of the 20th century, this time being Mahatma Gandhi.Gandhi is of course one of the most revered thinkers of all time, a man whose life inspired millions to respond to violence with pacifism.
the leader of the Indian Independence Movement, and perhaps the greatest friend of humanity the world has ever known.This pocket watch dates to 1910-1915, and was given to his grandniece and assistant (Abha Gandhi), before he died in her arms.This replica Louis Vuitton watch is estimated to sell between $20,000 and $30,000, although we have a strong suspicion it will likely climb much higher than that.Considering the magnitude of Gandhi's vision and what his life (and murder) represents, this watch is one of the most amazing we've seen; on par with another great thinker's watch, which recently sold for $596,000.
Making this lot even more attractive is that fact that the watch comes with Gandhi's sandals, bowl, plate, and even a pair of his now legendary oval frame glasses.A letter of authenticity also accompanies this Zenth pocket watch.We can't wait to see replica Breitling watches what happens when this hits the auction block.We will be sure to report back.If you are interested in bidding on this amazing watch, . from Antiquorum.
