Mahatma Gandhi’s Zenith Alarm Pocket Watch

Antiquorum catalogued this sterling-silver Zenith alarm watch as formerly owned by Mahatma Gandhi and later given to his grandniece Abha Gandhi. It was sold with other Gandhi belongings in New York on 5 March 2009 for a combined lot price of $2,096,000. The object is individually identifiable rather than merely an example of its model, which is important for Arcarel’s object-level record. The cited Antiquorum 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.
