A LEGACY CAPTURED IN TIME
Some watches are born of luxury, others of innovation, but few carry the legacy of a story as iconic as Lindsay’s. The Damascus steel layer featured on the dial is made from the original truck Lindsay bought when he was 19, which launched the Linfox empire. This timepiece is more than just a watch—it embodies the story of resilience and transformation.
Hannah Fox and Eric Holton the Fox Private Car Collection Service Manager carefully selected a component from the truck’s engine. This steel was forged into a Damascus ring, which is now the intricate face of the watch, echoing the countless miles travelled by Lindsay’s trucks. At its core is a Sellita Sw300 automatic, elaborategrade movement encased in titanium and sapphire crystal.
Designed by Dom Italiano of Grip Auto, the watch’s back features the iconic Linfox slogan: “You are passing another Fox.” Only three exist: one gifted to Lindsay, one to his son Peter, and one to be auctioned at Wristwatch Check to support mental health and suicide prevention. For the collector who acquires it, this watch offers more than exclusivity—it’s a piece of Australian history and a tribute to grit, generosity, and enduring legacy.
PASSED DOWN THROUGH GENERATIONS
Imagine 500 years from now, someone wearing their great great-great-great-great grandfather’s watch—and it still works. It’s a piece of history with an unmatched backstory. Our community is gifting this to the Fox family because we want to give a timepiece that carries the heart of a remarkable legacy.
Wear Your Best Watch

How do you win the best watch in a room full of Rolex, Omega, Jacob & Co, Breitling, Maurice Lacroix, and other outstanding Swiss watches?
- Every watch tells a story.
- Our patrons are encouraged to wear their favourite watch and share that story with others.

They are looking for the quality of craftsmanship, its rarity, and most importantly, its meaningful story.
We encourage you to wear your favourite watch for the evening. The winner will be announced on the night.
