George Daniels ‘Space Traveller I’

George Daniels completed this unique pocket watch in 1982 to display both mean-solar and sidereal time alongside lunar and equation-of-time indications. It first appeared at Sotheby’s in 1988 and was sold there again in 2019 for £3.6 million, then a record for a British watch at auction. The object is individually identifiable rather than merely an example of its model, which is important for Arcarel’s object-level record. The cited Sotheby's source supplies the key provenance, event or institutional facts used here. No unnamed buyer or owner has been inferred, and fields not established by the source are left blank. Its significance comes from the combination of the physical watch and the documented people, events, institutions or market history attached to this specific specimen.
