^Lot 337 Buzz Aldrin

Spectacular ‘Montre Royale de Geneva’ presentation table clock, 12? x 11?. Gifted to Aldrin, a gold plate reads, “First Steps on the Moon, July 20, 1969, To Colonel Edwin E. Aldrin, Lunar Module Pilot, Apollo 11, As a token of admiration from Geneva Citizens.” Clock presents three faces: Washington, Tokyo, and Geneva, and 14 decorative panes circumventing the base. In very good condition, with mild wear from handling, signs of age to the finish, one of the three faces unsecured, and the edge of one of the decorative panes a bit loose. Straight from the Buzz Aldrin collection, this clock embodies Aldrin’s—and the nation’s—ultimate accomplishment.
