The present lot features 3 colorful and playful timepieces inspired by vintage watches. The watches are perfect for everyday wear and would make great additions to the collections of new, enthusiast, and astute collectors alike.
The Brian LaViolette Scholarship Foundation would like to thank Ray Martin, Shane Russeck of True North Watch Company, and Eric Wind of Wind Vintage for their generous donations.
The Brian LaViolette Scholarship Foundation Through great loss has come inspiration. At just 15 years old, Brian LaViolette’s life was claimed in a swimming accident, and on the day of his funeral, his family kept a promise to honor his name and memory by helping others. Founded in 1992, the Brian LaViolette Scholarship Foundation awards deserving college-bound students with scholarships to further their lives and education. Since then, the foundation is proud to have presented 1,160 scholarships to deserving individuals across the globe.
