From the wrist of a man who walked on the moon, a collection of watches now moves toward new hands — each timepiece a small machine that once measured moments in the most extraordinary chapter of human exploration. Buzz Aldrin, now in his nineties, has chosen the auction house over the archive, ensuring these artifacts enter the documented record rather than fade into private silence. In parting with them, he offers the world not merely objects, but witnesses — instruments that kept time when time itself felt suspended between worlds.
