Naturally, The Greatest needs a timepiece worthy of his stature. To mark Muhammad Ali's Celebrity Fight Night for charity in Phoenix, Arizona on Saturday, IWC created a unique, eminently auctionable version of its Big Pilot watch. Sure enough, the white-gold Muhammad Ali edition complete with engraved signature on the back (what, no round timer?) went under the hammer for over nearly $60,000 (£38,000) with proceeds going to the pugilist's Parkinson Centre. The price tag stings like a bee, but then the watch is after all a true one-off - like the great man himself.
