TIME COUNTS
The One Drop Foundation and the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation are proud to join forces with Phillips Auction House in association with Bacs and Russo to present TIME COUNTS, a unique charitable initiative integrated within Phillips’ upcoming RACING PULSE New York Watch Auction on Saturday December 12, 2020, 10AM EST.
Through this initiative, One Drop and the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation will raise critical funds to bring positive change to both Foundations’ efforts in the water and sanitation sector and work towards improving climate resilience for some of the world's most vulnerable communities.
Under the direction of two of the world’s foremost watch experts, Aurel Bacs and Paul Boutros, collectors and philanthropists can support these vital causes through Phillips’ innovative live and online auction platform. Featuring a curated selection of haute horlogerie timepieces, TIME COUNTS allows anyone interested in supporting safe water and sanitation to bid, no matter where they are in the world.
