SEIKO Spring Drive Spacewalk goes under the hammer for charity

September 2009

As Richard Garriott had wished, SEIKO Watch Corporation and Seiko Epson Corporation put one of two watches he brought back to earth up for auction in aid of his two chosen charities. The watch will go under the hammer in the Antiquorum auction to be held in New York on September 17, with the proceeds going to “the Nature Conservancy” and “the Challenger Center for Space Science Education”. (www.nature.org, www.challenger.org)

The watch will be accompanied by a certification letter signed by Richard himself, authenticating the watch and conveying his thanks to the successful bidder for his or her support of the charities.
