Why it works

This runs on donors and volunteers. Nothing else.

Watches build community and friendship, and that's the same spirit that gets our shipments packed. Nobody here takes a salary, and 100% of your contribution is tax-deductible.

Our story

Mission

Leverage the power of watches to address education, hunger, healthcare, and humanitarian aid.

Watches for Good began inside a private watch group of Googlers called watches@. A raffle for a NOMOS Tangente turned into a COVID mask fundraiser; the fundraiser turned into a food program; the food program turned into a 501c3 non-profit.

The mechanism is simple. Collectors and brands donate or collaborate with us. We turn these opportunities into campaigns — raffles, auctions, limited editions, tournaments — and route the proceeds directly to a specific, verifiable need. Then we publish the ledger. Every fiscal year since 2020 is online for anyone to read.

We are volunteers. No salaries, no overhead-heavy programs, no intermediaries between a donation and the shipment it pays for.

About

How a raffle became a charity

The NOMOS Tangente raffled for charity — the watch that started Watches for Good

How we started

The NOMOS Tangente we raffled for charity — in cooperation with NOMOS, Reis-Nichols Jewelers, and watches@, a private group of Googlers — started Watches for Good.

In 2020, our volunteers united in the fight against COVID-19: feeding 2,000+ families in the San Francisco Bay Area and purchasing 15,000+ surgical masks distributed across homeless shelters and hospitals.

The movement

Every campaign is a wheel

Its diameter is the money that moved through it; its thickness is what you're measuring. Drag to orbit, click a wheel to open it.

FROM THE LEDGER

{{ ledger.centsPerDollar }}% of everything we spend goes to running this place.

The rest goes into campaigns and payment processing. These figures are pulled straight from the published spreadsheet each time this page loads — we don't retype them, so they can't drift.
