The sale was described as a 'landmark achievement'.
A watch made by a Bolton man in his parents' garage has become the most expensive British watch ever made. 'Pocket Watch No.2' was made by Roger Smith over five years in the mid-1990s.
The watch was made by hand by Mr Smith, born in Bolton in 1970, between 1992 to 1997. He then presented the work which had been made meticulously to Dr George Daniels, one of the great watch makers of the last century.
