In the spirit of space exploration, today also saw the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Bucherer BLUE -- the first-ever Triple Axis tourbillon to go into space – sell for an astounding $441,000. Designed by Jacob & Co., and presented in partnership with Bucherer, this uniquely desirable object took flight on the first private, all-commercial mission into the cosmos this past April, where it spent 17 days 1 hour and 37 minutes in space. Offered with no reserve, with bidding starting at $1, the sale’s proceeds will be donated to benefit the Davidson Institute of Science Education, an Israeli non-profit organization that serves as the educational arm of the Weizmann Institute of Science. The organization believes in connecting people to science, initiates, organizes, and operates a wide range of educational programs.
Today’s sales kicked off Sotheby’s Geek Week, a series of five auctions celebrating science and discovery. Sales still to come this week include Natural History, including Gorgosaurus; Meteorites, Select Specimens from the Moon, Mars, Vesta, and More; and Self Reflected.
