You probably saw the old photo appear on a Time magazine cover after his death.

A number of fashion items from late Apple CEO Steve Jobs were recently sold at auction, including a Seiko watch described by the auction house as being “heavily worn,” CNET writes. The article says Jobs wore the watch in a 1984 photo that Time magazine used for its cover of a special commemorative issue after he died of cancer in 2011. Other items sold include a pair of his Birkenstock sandals ($2,750) and one of his signature black turtlenecks with the Next logo on the front ($7,500).

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
