Individual Watch Donors

Donate a watch from your own collection.

As they have for the past two editions, private collectors remain at the heart of this auction. If a timepiece in your collection is no longer worn, it can become school, shelter and healthcare for children supported by Terre des hommes — and a tax deduction issued directly to you. Thank you in advance for your support!

How it works
  1. Step 1

    You submit your watch

    Share the brand, reference and a few photographs through the form. We are looking for watches of good and prominent quality wherever possible.

  2. Step 2

    Experts set a fair market value

    Our panel of independent watch experts determines the fair market price of the piece. You then confirm your donation based on that appraisal value — and your tax deduction is set at that same value.

  3. Step 3

    Terre des hommes issues your deduction

    You receive a tax deduction for that valuation, directly from Terre des hommes, usable in your current fiscal year accounting. All tax deductions are issued in February 2027.

  4. Step 4

    Hand over or ship the watch

    The watch can be shipped to us or handed over in person at one of our drop-off locations in Bienne, Geneva or Zurich. Our team will contact you to arrange the most convenient option.

  5. Step 5

    The watch goes under the hammer

    Your deduction stands at the appraised value regardless of the actual sale performance of the watch in the auction.

The fine print

Valuations are established by experts at fair market price. The tax deduction is issued by Terre des hommes and is independent of the hammer price achieved at the auction. Deductibility depends on your own fiscal situation and jurisdiction. Submitting the form is an offer of donation; our team confirms acceptance in writing before any watch is shipped.
