Big-hearted watchmakers - Only Watch
1 minute read
The 5th edition of the biennial auction of one-of-akind watches on behalf of research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy will take place on Saturday September 28th in Monaco


Since 2005, men and women with a sparkle in their eye and an open heart accept that “their” Fine Watchmaking brand should provide forceful and creative support for scientific and medical research on neuromuscular diseases in general and Duchenne muscular dystrophy in particular. The concept is to create a truly exceptional and indeed one-off piece. A combination of talents, the quest for excellence, innovation and healthy emulation between watch manufacturers, combined with impressive organisation and communication work, make ONLY WATCH an event that attracts worldwide media coverage and makes it an extraordinary showcase for watchmaking skills.

As of September 6th 2013, the travelling exhibition of these timepieces will make stop-overs in Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, New York and Geneva, followed by the presentation at the Monaco Yacht Show (September 25th to 28th). The charity auction, led by Antiquorum, will take place on 11 am (GMT +1) on Saturday September 28th, in the Belle Epoque room of the Hermitage Hotel, Monaco.

On behalf of the 250,000 children, teenagers and young adults who suffer from Duchenne muscular dystrophy, I sincerely thank all those who contribute, each in their own way, to the success of ONLY WATCH and who contribute to keeping alive the hope for therapeutic solutions in what we all hope will be the near future.
