Help Armand Billard Celebrate His Birthday!

One of the truly great things about writing Tempus Fugit is that I've gotten to meet some truly great people, and one who I am particularly proud to call my friend is Armand Billard, the co-founder and owner of Sartory Billard.

Most of us, when asked what we want for our birthday can come up with several things we'd like to have. 

And sometimes we say - "don't get me anything, just make a donation". 

And that's commendable. But rare is the fellow who goes beyond that and says -

"I'm going to create something singularly wonderful, and I'm going to use it to do something else that is singularly wonderful, and by doing so, I am going to give someone else the opportunity to do something singularly wonderful, and they will get to own something singularly wonderful.  

In his own words, because after all, it's going to be his birthday:

Help me celebrate my 46th birthday!

Let’s make a fantastic donation for the benefit of @unicef and their eduction program for children. On September 10th I will hold a "closed envelope" bid for this Blue Ghost SB04 fitted with a ceramic dial!

What is a "closed envelope" bid ?

Simple - make me an offer by DM, email or WhatsApp and at the end of the day (24:00 CET) the highest bid will get the watch and all €€ will be donated to UNICEF !

Bids start at 2500€ !!

PLEASE - spread the word among watch collectors!

Happy Friday evening to you all and special thanks to @atelierpetrov who will supply the strap for this piece unique!!

So a very happy birthday Armand!
