Love that its for a good cause, but does seem like a complete waste to spend CHF 69,300 on a plastic quartz, considering what else they had in the catalogue

I'm always thrilled to see funds going to a good cause, this is very nice. To each their own, I guess. I would've rather simply donating the money and not receiving that particular watch in return for the almost 70k CHF. As aforementioned though, just grateful a charity received a donation of this size, regardless.
