Looking For The Perfect Gift For Your Humble Blogger?
I have a small collection of pocket watches, so this caught my eye.
The gold watch British naval hero Horatio Nelson had in his pocket when he was shot dead by a French sniper at the height of the Battle of Trafalgar goes on sale in October for the first time in over 200 years.Actually, the UK's National Maritime Museum in Greenwich has the very uniform he was shot in complete with bullet hole. I think it would be a shame if this piece ended up anywhere else.
