September 11, 2021 will mark 20 years since the day that changed the United States forever. Although lives were lost on U.S. soil, British watch company William Wood Watches has created a unique timepiece to commemorate 9/11’s first responders and is partnering with the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, another wonderful New York City nonprofit, to honor and give back.
Assembled in the Jura Mountains in Switzerland, the timepiece thoughtfully features dials inspired by a fire engine cab, hands mirroring water pressure pump gauges, a crown made from an original melted down 1920’s British brass Firefighter’s helmet, a one-of-a-kind caseback and upcycled fire hose straps. The winner of the auction will also receive a private tour of the 9/11 Museum in New York City hosted by a retired distinguished FDNY firefighter.
100% of the auction proceeds will be donated to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation’s Fallen First Responder Program, which supports the nation’s first responders, veterans and their families by providing these heroes and the families they leave behind with mortgage-free homes.
