Handpainted WASP Watch Donated for Auction
One of the most memorable moments of Homecoming 2026 was the auction of a one-of-a-kind hand-painted watch generously donated by Praesidus Watch Co.
Inspired by the legacy of the Women Airforce Service Pilots, the custom timepiece became a centerpiece of our auction and ultimately raised $1,050 in support of the National WASP WWII Museum. The winning bid was placed by longtime WASP supporter Liz, whose continued dedication helps preserve and share the stories of these remarkable women.
We extend our sincere thanks to Praesidus for creating and donating this extraordinary piece and to Liz for her generous support. Together, they transformed a beautiful watch into a meaningful investment in preserving history.
