A Tribute to the Legend and to Charity

A unique timepiece from Swiss watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen went under the hammer last Saturday at Celebrity Fight Night. Having long been supported by The Greatest, Muhammad Ali, the star-studded gala event was established to raise funds for the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center. This was the 18th time that the former heavyweight champion had invited his friends from show business to come along and demonstrate their support for his charity. The live auction for IWC’s Big Pilot’s Watch Edition Muhammad Ali in white gold attracted an impressive winning bid of USD 60,000.

Congratulations to everyone involved. A great timepiece for a wonderful charity. All things considered, someone got a great buy.

great stuff and well done.

If I understand correctly the bidding had to be done in person - and perhaps the only forum members present were Georges Kern - probably not allowed to bid - and Oliver ?

But Alan its not blue, so is red the new blue?

It's not me. But I do know who it is.

I would be surprised if Tracy let this slip away. Can't wait to see his "Creative" pic.

It is really nice that a lot of people are now pushing to help our charities but I am not quite sure if they are getting the right number of pledges right within. It would probably be something that would be a far throw still but something that would actually be worth it come time.

I hope that there would be better drive than our current implementations here.
