US EditionA Madison man found Neil Armstrong's watch, and sold it for $2.1 million
- Madison resident Stefan Osdene discovered astronaut Neil Armstrong's gold Speedmaster timepiece at a coin shop in Ohio and later sold it at auction in 2024 for more than $2.1 million.
- Osdene initially believed the watch was a common commemorative piece, but verification three years later confirmed its authenticity and led to contact with the Armstrong family.
- RR Auction, based in New Hampshire and led by VP Bobby Livingston, handled the sale, which set a new world record for an astronaut's timepiece and attracted global attention.
- The watch sold for $2.125 million, with over half a million dollars from the proceeds donated to charity and causes supported by the Armstrong family foundation.
- Osdene expressed that finding the watch was random and emphasized the event’s positive impact beyond money, while also advancing plans to produce high-end handmade watches starting in 2026 or 2027.
