Cara Delevingne Auctioning Her TAG Heuer for Cecil the Lion

[Bill Adler]

English fashion model, actress, and singer Cara Delevingne, is auctioning her personal watch, a TAG Heuer, to raise money for lion conservation in honor of Cecil the Lion. As we all know, Cecil, a lion in Zimbabwe, was recently killed by an American dentist who was trophy hunting.

The auction is being held on eBay. It ends on August 10 at 12:26 British Standard Time. As of this posting, the bid was $10,400. There's more information about the auction and how to bid on my blog at http://www.abetterwrist.com.

All the proceeds from the auction will go to the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit, which had been studying Cecil at the time he was killed.

Cara Delevingne is one of TAG Heuer's ambassador. This Special Edition Carrera Cara Delevingne watch was designed for her. She's worn it several times and during the last Monaco Grand Prix. (The watch is available for sale in several versions, including with or without diamonds.) It's a 41 mm watch with Swiss quartz movement. The case has a titanium-carbide coating. A lion's head is engraved on the back of the watch because Leo the Lion is Cara Delevingne's astrological sign, but the lion means much more than that now.
