Economic Relativity: Despite Floundering Global Economy, Einstein’s Watch Sells For a Whole Lot of MoneyStumble This


A Longines wristwatch that was presented to Albert Einstein in the 1930s has just been sold at auction by Antiquorum, where it fetched the princely sum of $596,000 (economy be damned). Apparently this is 2000% more than the auctioneer expected – it doesn’t really surprise me though, after all it belonged to one of the greatest thinkers that the world has ever seen.
