Slated to happen from August 16-23, the EveryWatch charity auction is a collaborative effort between Edinburgh’s Lyon & Turnbull public sale home, fellow enthusiasts over at Scottish Watches, and 9 unbiased manufacturers whose nice generosity is ready to profit Maggie’s Centres, a British organisation providing free assist to these affected by most cancers. The tons are made up of items uniques and prototypes, and although no estimates have been offered on the time of writing, there’s loads of potential worth on supply right here.

Glasgow-based enamel masters anOrdain are bringing a chunk from the archives within the type of this wavy linen-dialled Mannequin 1 in an uncommon 35.5mm metal case.

Christopher Ward C63 Highlander EveryWatch 01/01
The primary piece distinctive of the record comes courtesy of microbrand daddies Christopher Ward, within the type of a brilliant blue C63 Highlander. The textured floor is printed with a big EveryWatch brand under the pinion, whereas the oft-changing Christopher Ward brand shifts once more ever so barely, forming the St Andrew’s cross, the logo of the Scottish flag – a extremely neat contact. The motif is repeated on the show caseback, with Scotland’s flag taking over a lot of the actual property and obscuring a lot of the Sellita SW200 inside.
Fears Brunswick Ice
In an public sale so closely populated by British brands, it’s no surprise that Fears joined the get together too. Outfitting their elegant Brunswick with an icy sunburst blue, the tall utilized numerals and azurage small seconds sub-dial are simply as fantastic as on some other instance.

The 1-1000 prototype is an eminently curious watch, with teeny fingers moved by a handbook ETA 7001 set towards a moss inexperienced dial.
Sartory Billard SB04
I do my greatest to stay considerably neutral in issues of style, however good heavens, is that this distinctive Sartory Billard SB04 a stunner or what? With an interlocked dial texture composed of the Maggie’s Centres brand, it serves as proof that design restraint is an artwork kind in itself. The extremely polished skeletonised alpha fingers and utilized sector ring completely match the 40mm metal case that homes a La Joux-Perret G100. The one manner this might be even higher could be in a tantalum case – however perhaps that’s me projecting just a little an excessive amount of.
Studio Underd0g Blueberry
Studio Underd0g’s food-inspired releases proceed with the Blueberry – I really feel like the explanation for its identify is pretty apparent. Aside from the dial color that’s nonetheless utilized to a extremely textured foremost portion and the EveryWatch brand silkscreened onto the show caseback, the Blueberry is an identical to SU’s Seagull-powered column-wheel chronograph line-up.

Slightly than going with a blue to honour the nationwide color of Scotland, William Wooden opted for this brilliant hue to pay homage to the color of Maggie’s Centres.
