The 18-carat Jules Jurgensen gold watch belonged to Isidor Straus who, along with his wife, lost his life when the ship sank
A gold pocket watch that belonged to a man who died on board the Titanic when it sank has sold for a record sum.
The watch, which belonged to 67-year-old Isidor Straus, went for £1.78m at auction, the highest amount ever paid for Titanic memorabilia. He was given the watch, an engraved 18-carat Jules Jurgensen, as a gift on his 43rd birthday in 1888.
