The Geneva Watch Days Charity Auction, But You Can't Buy Any Watches

And then, some experiences and encounters are simply not available, whatever you’ll put on the table… Except in this case, it does.

GMT watches allow you to consult the time simultaneously in two different time zones, usually local and home time. This very watch is the spiritual inspiration b
