The Rainbow Daytona consigned by an Australian tech founder has closed at $510,000 on the hammer, breaking a national record that stood since 2023.

Zendaya turned up to the Paris fan event for Spider-Man: Brand New Day in a $35 vintage Spider-Man tee her stylist found on eBay. That was restrained, by her standards. The watch told a different story.

People queued through the night, broke down doors, and got pepper-sprayed over a pocket watch on a lanyard. Yesterday was a bad day to be a Swatch employee.
