Nonprofits

Our goal is to help nonprofits raise significant funds through the sale of very exclusive timepieces and possibly jewelry, specifically designed around their theme and their members, only available to their top donors. A certain percentage of the price of each piece will be tax deductible. We can also make unique pieces to auction off that will fetch millions. And they can be given as a reward for a patron who donates at least a certain minimum - this will help encourage donors to go above and beyond on cap-ex raises, a better incentive than putting a name at the top of a list on the wall.

Trout Unlimited watch

Trout Unlimited

Base watch
Louis Moinet Savanna Tourbillon
Case
18k 5N rose gold, 40.7 mm
Dial
Hand-painted miniature of a rainbow trout leaping from a mountain stream for a mayfly, cut into 81 interlocking pieces like a jigsaw puzzle
Movement
Mechanical, with a flying tourbillon at six

This watch starts from Louis Moinet's Savanna Tourbillon, whose dial is already a hand-painted miniature cut into 81 interlocking pieces like a jigsaw puzzle. For this project Louis Moinet will paint a custom scene for Trout Unlimited, a rainbow trout leaping from a mountain stream for a mayfly.

Robin Hood watch

Robin Hood

Base watch
Richard Mille RM UP-01 Ferrari, 1.75 mm thick
Case
Grade 5 titanium, 51 by 39 mm
Dial
One flat lime green plate with Robin Hood's archer engraved in navy, drawing his bow at the counter
Counter
Number wheels at three count the millions of dollars the foundation has given, with MILLIONS DONATED engraved below
Movement
Richard Mille calibre RMUP-01, ultra-flat, hand-wound, about 45 hours of power reserve

This watch starts from the Richard Mille RM UP-01 Ferrari, 1.75 mm thick, the thinnest watch Richard Mille has made. We turn the whole face lime green and engrave Robin Hood's archer in navy.

The counter will show how much money Robin Hood has collected for their mission. It's an estimate. You can reset it via the counter on their website any time (there's no magic). Designing the counter is a new project that would take a year or so to develop. The RM UP-01 Ferrari watch this mock-up is based on currently sells for $1.7 million. We would probably find another base watch to work with, but this looks cool, doesn't it?

Wildlife Conservation Network watch

Wildlife Conservation Network

Base watch
A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange Minute Repeater
Case
Platinum, 39 mm
Dial
Grand feu white enamel in three parts, with Roman numerals fired into the enamel, a rhino calf printed onto it, his mother's tracks crossing the dial, and the WCN logo under XII
Hands
Heat-blued steel
Movement
Lange calibre L122.1, hand-wound, with a minute repeater that chimes the time on demand

This watch starts from A. Lange & Söhne's Richard Lange Minute Repeater, which chimes the time on demand. We change only the enamel dial, adding a rhino calf beside its mother's tracks and the WCN logo under XII. The movement stays as Lange builds it, which means we can have this piece ready to go in months, not years.

Re:wild watch

Re:wild

Base watch
ArtyA Purity Wavy Central Tourbillon
Case
Cut entirely from clear sapphire, 40 mm
Dial
A ring of blue sapphire with re:wild engraved at twelve and two pointers at the edge for the hours and minutes
Figure
A green and black poison-dart frog in enamel over gold, clinging to the case and peering over the rim
Movement
Mechanical, with a 19 mm tourbillon at the center

Do you see the frog? This watch starts from ArtyA's Purity Wavy Central Tourbillon, a case cut entirely from clear sapphire with the tourbillon at the center. We change the ring to blue sapphire and add a small enamel poison-dart frog on the case. The movement stays as ArtyA builds it.

These watches are design concepts. None of these organizations has ordered one.
