HODINKEE: Eric Wind Quoted on Pope Francis' Swatch Being Auctioned For Charity

Hodinkee Editor Tony Traina recently wrote about the Wright Auction's "Once Upon A Time Watch Project" in support of The Brian LaViolette Scholarship Foundation. Within the article, Traina quoted Eric Wind and highlighted his assistance with the auction:

“The auction actually came about via another watch-loving Wisconsinite, gentleman dealer Eric Wind. Doug, Brian's dad, reached out to Wind more than a year ago with the idea of an auction building on Brian's early interest in watches. Charity watch auctions are nothing new, but this one is exciting because it sources many of its donations from collectors. There are a handful of donations from brands, too – we'll highlight some, below – but it's cool to see collectors come together to support a charitable cause like this.”
