Phoenix Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 With Cisse in mind.... https://www.loomeswatches.com/auction You can own this incredible watch, that has been to Everest twice (and survived) and to support a charity who in turn are supporting the people of Nepal. Bonhams is running an online auction from NOW - 7th November at 3pm. Bid now! www.bonhams.com/auctions/24901/ It gives me great pleasure to let you know that our entirely British made wristwatches summited Everest this year with the Royal Gurkha Regiment. They carried them specifically to raise money for the very poorest, mountain regions of Nepal. As I am sure you are aware, Nepal suffered dreadfully in the Earthquake of 2015 and again with catastrophic flooding this year. The Mountain Trust, a small charity based in Cambridge, specifically works in mountain districts of Nepal. In a country with erratic and sometimes no schooling in remote districts they launched Radio Guru. It broadcasts FM radio lessons, led by experienced teachers. The station has an audience of some 44,000 mountain Nepalis, many of whom would have no other access to education. We hand-built an unique manual winding wristwatch for them. The case and dial were made by us for the Mountain Trust and the movement is a highly adapted English (new old stock) movement built by Smiths. It is a rare Imperial model, the most expensive movement ever produced in Britain. We re-built it to run at extremes of temperature (the climbing team dealt with temperatures between -40 degrees and + 35 degrees centigrade) and the watch went out on both the aborted 2015 expedition and the hugely successful 2017 expedition. The skill and expertise of the climbers was beyond question. The RGR team were the first people, climbing alongside Sherpas, to summit this year. Nine serving soldiers, all climbing instructors, and three British officers summited. The army described it as the most successful Everest expedition the British army had ever undertaken.

I just bought a new pair of boots for myself as a birthday present. They are really nice but could use a luxury wristwatch to make them even better. froggg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
