LINDSAY’S LEGENDARY LEGACY
It is no small feat to encapsulate the essence of Lindsay Fox, a man whose life has been intertwined with Australia’s cultural and entrepreneurial fabric for a solid 70 years. Remarkably, he has maintained a reputation as a good person while standing in the spotlight for such a period. Lindsay’s story exemplifies resilience, generosity, and unwavering family values.
He’s an unassuming billionaire who has met royalty, prime ministers, celebrities, and countless individuals from all walks of life. Yet, whether interacting with a cleaner or a queen, Lindsay’s humility, respect, and grounded nature remain constants. People who have met Lindsay consistently speak highly of his good character.
Wristwatch Check is about celebrating good people. But there’s one particular person we want to salute with something special… and that’s why we created the Fox Legacy Watch. We are not just celebrating Lindsay’s outstanding achievements, extraordinary generosity, or extensive collections of stunning cars… The Fox Legacy Watch celebrates stories, craftsmanship, and a shared passion that binds our community at its core. Lindsay’s story sits at the heart of this community, and his journey epitomises what is possible when ambition is tempered by integrity and care for others.
His story makes you proud to be Australian. It reminds us that even the humblest beginnings can be transformed into an iconic tale with the right attitude and relentless work ethic. Lindsay Fox’s life is a masterclass in lifting oneself from the lowest of lows to the highest peaks—not for self-aggrandisement, but to show others what is possible when you build your legacy on a foundation of putting people first.
A LEGACY CAPTURE 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, elaborate-grade 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.
DO IT FOR OTHERS
Lindsay Fox’s success is not just rooted in strategy or ambition—it’s powered by his genuine respect for people. For Lindsay, business has always been a personal endeavour built on relationships and trust. “Be a giver, not a taker,” he often says—a philosophy that underscores every handshake, every deal, and every connection he’s fostered over seven decades. Lindsay’s respect for others remains unwavering, whether with royalty, prime ministers, or everyday Australians like you or me.
This approach has shaped Linfox into more than just a logistics company; it’s an organised culture united by shared values and mutual respect. Lindsay’s leadership style is direct yet compassionate. He encourages those around him to aim higher while never forgetting their roots. “It’s about job satisfaction, not money,” he emphasises—a principle that has inspired his team and generations of Australians. For Lindsay, people aren’t just part of the business—they are the business.
FOR THE LOVE OF CARS
Lindsay Fox’s passion for cars comes alive in the Fox Classic Car Collection, a showcase of over 50 iconic vehicles. For Lindsay, these cars are more than just machines; they are stories to be shared. From the elegance of pre-war craftsmanship to the precision of modern hypercars. Every vehicle is meticulously maintained, reflecting his dedication to preserving the legacy.
By opening the collection to the public, Lindsay ensures these masterpieces are shared and celebrated, allowing enthusiasts and newcomers alike to connect with the artistry and innovation that define the evolution of the automobile. His love for cars is not just about ownership—it’s about fostering a deeper appreciation for their beauty, history, and enduring impact.
Highlights include the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing, Jaguar SS 100, Porsche 550 RS Spyder, and Austin Healey 100S, each representing a milestone in automotive history. Supercar enthusiasts can admire the Ferrari F40, Porsche 918 Spyder, and Lexus LFA, while the Nissan GTR and Porsche 935 Flatnose Clubsport reflect cutting-edge performance engineering.
To have Wristwatch Check hosted at the Fox Classic Car Museum and gift the Fox Legacy Watch to the Fox family is an honour. It’s a timeless tribute to a legacy defined by humility, passion, and respect for others.
