Albert Einstein's most expensive watch in history

Most of us know the German astrophysicist Albert Einstein with great contributions to human history such as formula E = MC2 and the discovery of a nuclear bomb. However, instead of continuing to mention his great accomplishments, in this article we will learn about unattended items when he was alive - wrist watches and pocket watches .

Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955).

In his life, there are two most prominent watches he believes are used by Longines , one for his own name and the place where he spends his time working on the back. His watch was later auctioned off and became the highest-priced watch ever sold in Longines' nearly 200-year history at the final price of US $ 596,000.

Einstein's prototype and the characters are engraved on the back.

The Longines watch is used by Einstein as a watch with a long design, with 2 piles, 1 pile to handle the position of hours and minutes, the other one is in the direction of 6h which is the second hand. The entire frame of the watch is made from 14K gold, the wire is leather hand sewn, when auctioned, all originals are still clicked to leather straps.

In addition to the watch above, Albert Einstein also owns himself a pocket watch also of Longines. This was purchased by him in 1943 and its prototype is still kept in the Bern-Switzerland historical museum.

One more special thing is that both watches he used are the two piles with the split second.

The surface design of this pocket watch is so subtle that even today countless manufacturers still use it, typically IWC with hourly shape, minute hand or digital font remains the same, this represents get an aesthetic look beyond Einstein's era.

One more special thing is that both of the watches he used are two piles with separate seconds, is it that Einstein does not like the 3-needle clock that disturbs the time?
