Though Mahatma Gandhi was not one who had many prized possessions, he did enjoy his personal Zenith Pocket Watch which will soon be up for auction.

Before Gandhi died, he gifted his grandniece and assistant, Abha Gandhi, his Zenith alarm pocket watch which soon after entered into a private collection.

The 1910-1915 watch is not in the best of conditions, but with a timepiece such as this you have to decide if it should remain in antique disrepair or if you prefer Gandhi’s watch to be restored to its original, working state.

The auction for the watch alone is expected to go between $200,000 & $30,000.
