Cary Grant's Watch Finds New Home | Bristol News

A gold watch once gifted by Hollywood icon Cary Grant to the woman who cared for his mother just sold for £6,800—far exceeding its £2,000 estimate. The watch, passed down through generations, was sold by Maggie Leach’s great-niece Stephanie Balson, who said it’s not about the gold but the deep personal connection to Grant’s roots and family. Even after Grant’s mother passed, he continued visiting Maggie in Bristol until his death in 1986. The auctioneer praised the emotional value of such artifacts, highlighting how rare it is to own a piece tied to both a legendary star and the quiet people who supported him. Now, the watch finds a new home with someone who cherishes its story. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
