Donations from #WatchFam for Covid-19 Solidarity Auction
This generosity, though, is no revelation. As Revolution’s founder, Wei Koh has pointed out several times, we’ve witnessed this generous community in action time and time again that Luc Pettavino has hosted the Only Watch auction, and even earlier this year when Andrew McUtchen and Time+Tide put together the Watch & Act! auction to benefit firefighting and wildlife rescue organizations in Australia, during the devastating bushfire crisis.
Everyone one of our donors have gone out of their way to offer something meaningful. Whether it be a prototype, a one-off creation, their services and etc. Perhaps what had us most surprised were the individuals from the community who reached out to offer a watch from their personal collections for the auction.
It all started with a gent based out of Australia, Vaughan Pearce (@hands.faces.cases) who messaged Wei on the back of Instagram to offer a watch from his personal collection to the auction. Wei broke the news to the team quite immediately, and we were all simply blown away.
The other lots that make up for such contributions are, Jose Bueiz’s (@zeaccesorios) 1954 Omega Constellation ref. 2782-6sc, Nikolaj Raahauge (@timeandgrooves) who offered up his Caravelle Seahunter Vintage Diver (c.1960) and lastly, an anonymous donor who offered up not one, but three brand-new-in-box Swatch Sistem51 Hodinkee Generation 1986 watches.
The online auction will close at 15:00 GMT on 22 June 2020. The auction listings on Givergy will remain live until then.
