Bid now on this awesome Halios unique piece and support Vancouver General Hospital’s COVID-19 Response Fund

Andrew McUtchen

Halios is one of the most popular microbrands in Australia. At an average Aussie get-together odds are you’re almost certainly going to see a Seaforth or two, at the least. So, with a lot of love for what Jason’s doing, and with a lot of respect for the momentum he’s building, we’re delighted to give his latest watch a shout out. And this is not just any watch.

@sharp_time113 is one of the many Halios lovers out there, capturing the bronze Seaforth with blue dial in all its glory

It’s a Piece Unique that he’s auctioning right now on his Instagram, with 50% of the funds going to the Vancouver General Hospital COVID-19 Response Fund, and 50% going to the winning bidder’s charity of choice. The watch is a 1 of 1 dark brown prototype dial with matte sunburst finish. The sunburst effect, according to Jason, is very subdued and not “shiny”. The dial is a deep grey-brown with no coppery tones. Unusually, the watch is offered with right or left-handed options of crown positions – at 3 (right handed) or 9 for destro-bros (left-handed).

At the time of writing, the bidding is at $3750USD. Bidding will close in 16 hours, at midday Vancouver time. Hit his Instagram page now to get amongst it. Good luck to all, and good on you Jason for making a difference.
