Off-Topic: Sotheby's Red Auction Held Yesterday

"Watch Sir Jonathan Ive, KBE, and Marc Newson, two of the world’s foremost design pioneers, discuss their collaboration with musician and philanthropist Bono for Sotheby’s (RED) Auction, which celebrates the very best of design and innovation. Sotheby’s (RED) auction will take place in New York on 23 November, with all proceeds donated to the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria in Africa."

The auction was held yesterday, and achieved some amazing prices for some beautiful objects.

Of course, the watch spotters will be interested to see Marc Newson wearing an Ikepod chronograph in the Sotheby's video. It's a model that he designed, as shown below, with crown and chronograph pushers on the left.
