The Association Monégasque contre les Myopathies (AMM) is pleased to announce that the 10th edition of the Only Watch auction, placed under the high patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, will be held on May 10, 2024, at the Palexpo congress centre in Geneva, under the hammer of Christie’s.
Since 2005, true to its motto, "create beauty to do good," this auction of unique timepieces aims to raise funds to accelerate research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Mainly thanks to Only Watch, the AMM has supported dozens of researchers on projects that have advanced knowledge and therapeutic approaches to this disease and has been able to create the necessary tools for the development of new therapies. The launch in 2023 of a "first in human" clinical trial by researchers supported by the Association Monégasque contre les Myopathies is an illustration of the turning point achieved on the scientific front. Therefore, the tenth edition of Only Watch comes at a crucial moment; the funds raised will enable new milestones in clinical developments and provide new support for research projects on myopathies and neuromuscular diseases.
In just a few years, the Association Monégasque contre les Myopathies has evolved from a family association to one whose influence and actions have global reach. This is the reason why the past few months have been used to conduct financial audits of the association (see details here), but also to implement structural evolutions to strengthen its governance and practices in terms of transparency and ethics. Its bylaws have thus been amended to allow for the creation of a strategic partnership committee and a scientific committee.
Proud of the tangible excellence in scientific work enabled by Only Watch, the Association Monégasque contre les Myopathies is delighted to benefit from the renewed trust of many loyal partners who are determined to make this tenth edition a success.
