Titanic Pocket Watch Auctioned

A ‘titanic’ auction took place in New York in which a single bidder made a bid for more than 5,000 artefacts from the wreckage of the Titanic. The lot included a diverse range of items which were being sold as a complete collection. Some of the items included in the lot were some binoculars, jewellery, tableware and of course a silver pocket watch.

You can see a video of the collection on the ITV news website.

Titanic Museum in Southampton

Before sinking in the Ocean and going down in history as the biggest non-combative sea accident in history, the Titanic set sail from Southampton with thousands of passengers. To honour the 100^th anniversary of the ship setting sail, a new museum has been opened which features some items from passengers of the ship.

Titanic and Pocket Watches

There is a lot of news about the Titanic at the moment since the other day was the 100^th anniversary of the ship setting sail. To commemorate this there has been the re-release of the brilliant film from the late 90’s starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet but redone in 3D. There is also a TV series running on ITV which tells the stories of different people aboard the ship.

Pocket Watch Video Games

Whilst looking for news stories relating to pocket watches the other day I nearly choked on my tea when a Google search returned a news item featuring the words ‘pocket watch games’. My mind whirred as I thought about what it was going to be about. Has someone developed a clip on accessory for your silver pocket watch that lets you play games or was it about games that can be played with a pocket watch?

The site details different pocket watch manufacturers, most of which are available from this pocket watch site.

Have a look and I'd love to hear some feedback for further improvements.
