A uniquely rare once in a lifetime opportunity for the serious Titanic collector or museum with solid provenance. The world may never know why this trunk was not selected for the trip on Titanic but it stands as a lasting tangible testimony to the tragic loss. 

This special artifact is from the residential mansion of John Jacob Astor IV, by some sources the richest man in the world at the time of his death on Titanic in 1912. The Astor Mansion was located at 840 5th Ave, New York and was awarded to his first wife after their divorce. 

This 100+ year old designer trunk is clearly marked JJA on both sides in red paint. It was passed down through the family ending with his eldest grandson Prince Ivan Obolensky. The trunk and with grandsons contents (not included) were long forgotten about and abandoned by the family. 

Measuring about 47” long, 22.5” wide and high and 22” high, this heavy wood lined trunk #100257 was manufactured by Bigot Company, 25 Rue Duphot, Paris. Its character shows significant wear with several damaged areas, scrapes and soiling throughout.

This is a new discovery that by some miracle escaped notice through history and is now being offered to the public for the first time. The documentation and LOA will be custom made for this relic and include miscellaneous paperwork found inside linking family ownership. Serious inquiries only can message with questions. Special shipping or pick-up will need to be arranged.

Nice Watch
Color: 5885 Siver Stainless Steel/hon Dial, Color: 5885 Siver Stainless Steel/hon Dial
Nice watch for the money. I've only had it a week but seems to be keeping good time. From 20 feet away might be mistaken for "Trump Time". The watch design is actually a copy of the Rolex Submariner for a whole lot less money. Several watch companies have copied the Submariner. I removed one link at a time when resizing the band. By the time I got to the final link, the supplied tool wasn't working. I had to remove the final link with a hacksaw and pliers.

DIDN'T LAST LONG
Color: 5885 Gold Stainless Steel/Gold Dial
Bought this in June 2025, and only wore it a few times. Recently noticed the time was "off" and the seconds-hand wasn't moving. I thought it sat too long and needed to be wound up. So, I wound...and wound...and wound. Never met any resistance in the crown during clock-wise winding...just continued to spin freely, and the seconds-hand never moved. It's a pretty-looking time piece, but don't waste your money if you expect it to keep time. 👎

Great watch, terrible resizing tool.
Color: 2926 Silver Stainless Steel/Black Dial
Watch is great, feel heavy, looks beautiful in person. It shines pretty heavily. My main issue is with the resizing tool it comes with. It broke when I tried to use it. Be prepared to buy your own like I did. I can’t say how the fit is yet because I can’t wear it yet. It is not easy to set up.

Stunning Automatic Watch With TopTier Durability and Precision
Color: Grey
“I got this Tissot PRX for my cousin’s birthday and bro fell in LOVE instantly. This thing keeps time like a beast, never slows down, never lags. Automatic movement, so no batteries, no drama. Durability? Stupid good. You can hit it, bump it, live life rough, it still looks box fresh. Size wise it was almost perfect. I just had to remove two links, nothing big. It’s light, functional, comfortable, doesn’t weigh you down, doesn’t get in the way but more importantly I can say this watch is in everyone’s eyesight when we wear it. Cause of course I had to get another one! Basically. I gave him a very nice piece as a gift, and now he’s walking around like he owns Switzerland.
