Charity raises £10,000 from Cartier watch found in donations bag

Tank Francaise watch, favoured by stars such as Michelle Obama, sets record for British Heart Foundation

The British Heart Foundation has sold a gold Cartier watch for almost 10,000 on auction site eBay, after it turned up in a bag of donations handed in at a shop in Hounslow, west London.

The 18 carat Tank Francaise watch, favoured by celebrities such as Michelle Obama and Diana, Princess of Wales, set a record for the charity, which sold 236,000 donated items online last year to raise funds.
