From Monaco to Geneva - Only Watch 2015
1 minute read
The Only Watch 2015 collection will be officially presented at the Monaco Yacht Show that opens tomorrow in the Principality. After five stopovers around the world, the 44 watches will be auctioned in Geneva on November 7th.

The 6th edition of the Only Watch charity auction, jointly organised by the Monaco Association against Muscular Dystrophy and the Monaco Yacht Show, will be held on November 7th. For the first time, the famous sale of unique timepieces will take place in the epicentre of Haute Horlogerie, Geneva, under the hammer of Aurel Bacs of Bacs & Russo and in association with Phillips. Organised every two years under the patronage of HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, this broad-scale operation highlights exclusive creations especially developed for this occasion by the brands taking part in the event, of which this new edition features 44.

The entire proceeds of the Only Watch are devoted to research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a genetic disease causing progressive muscle degeneration throughout the body. In the course of ten years and five editions, Only Watch has raised 15 million euros and significantly contributed to the advancement of research into this condition.

A promotional world tour enabling connoisseurs and collectors of Haute Horlogerie to admire the Only Watch 2015 collection will be launched tomorrow at the Monaco Yacht Show. These exclusive creations will subsequently head to China, where they will be exhibited first in Hong Kong (October 2nd to 5th, Peak Suite, 45/F Four Seasons Hotel) and then in Beijing (October 9th to 12th, Salone Monaco, Parkview Green). American aficionados will also have a chance to admire these exceptional timepieces in New York (October 17th to 20th, Phillips offices) and the collection will then be visible in London (October 24th to 27th, Phillips offices). This travelling exhibition will conclude in Geneva, where the timepieces will be on show from November 5th to 7th at La Réserve Genève – Hotel and Spa.
