$3,300 Raised for Hill Country Flood Relief

In the wake of the catastrophic flooding that struck Central Texas and the Hill Country on July 4th, we launched a benefit raffle to support recovery efforts on the ground. The floods claimed over 130 lives and caused widespread damage across 21 counties — displacing families, destroying infrastructure, and leaving entire communities in crisis.

With the help of over 100 individual donors, we raised $3,300 in just a few days. All proceeds are being donated to the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, which is coordinating relief efforts and delivering direct aid to those most impacted.

The raffle featured three one-of-a-kind timepieces, generously donated by independent watchmakers from our community. It was a reminder that even in times of tragedy, generosity and craftsmanship can bring people together to do something meaningful.

To everyone who donated or helped spread the word: thank you. This is the spirit of the Texas Watchmakers Collective — thoughtful, generous, and always ready to help.
