Since its launch in 2005, Only Watch has been one of the most important-if not the most important-auctions in the watch industry. The biennial charity auction was founded by Luc Pettavino, and Only Watch was organized by the Monaco Muscular Dystrophy Association (MAAMD) under the patronage of Prince Albert II of Monaco.

The brand donated unique timepieces for auction; all proceeds will be used to fund research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a debilitating and life-threatening genetic disease that affects one of approximately 3,500 boys, including Including Pettavino's own son, who died of the disease in November 2016.

The 2019 auction raised a record 43 million U.S. dollars. During his tenure, Only Watch has raised more than $70 million in funding for Duchenne muscular dystrophy research.

Before the ninth auction in Geneva on November 6, 2021, the following are all 53 unique watches on auction.

Bovey 2021 Only Watch Miss Audrey Sweet Fairy

First, a mixture of paint and Super-LumiNova was used to draw a miniature painting of a fairy in the center of the dial, and then the rest of the dial was painted with orange Super-LumiNova. Then apply the sugar crystals on the orange Super-LumiNova with orange Super-LumiNova orange paint to keep the sugar translucent and make almost the entire dial glow in the dark.

On old-fashioned watches, the dial, hands, and luminous light will change color as the watch ages (not just Breguet watches, but many brands of watches). As far as Breguet is concerned, some black dials will have a bronze color, which is very popular, as any collector will tell you. And this "tropical dial" appearance has entered modern watches, revitalizing old styles.

Breguet Type XX Only Watch 2021

If Breguet wants to reproduce the original dial on which this watch is based, then it should be black, but since so many people are addicted to the use and age of bronze, using this color has become a way to make the watch look and feel retro . This is why the dial of this color is absolutely meaningful as a unique piece of Only Watch.

The appearance of Type XX Only Watch 2021 is not the only difference from Breguet’s regular Type XX series models: Type XX Only Watch is equipped with a retro manual winding movement, and Valjoux 235 is equipped with a column wheel and flyback function, which is very suitable for retro style watches.

After collaborating with Laurent Ferrier to build Arpal One for Only Watch in 2017 and showing the moon satellites with Urwerk on Only Watch in 2019, De Bethune is now cooperating with Kari Voutilainen to launch this very special watch that can be combined with a watch Wear both sides facing up, thanks to a cool new case.

De Bethune x Voutilainen The Magic of Only Watch in 2021

To change the upward side, the watch must be removed from the wrist. You can then use your fingers to move the shell freely to rotate it. For some cool head images, think of the way the acrobat flips on the trapeze.

Replacing the science-fiction-like “De Bethune face” on one dial with the central deadbeat seconds on another dial is a particularly interesting technical challenge, just like Kari Voutilainen’s guilloche pattern. Although the time on both sides is the same, the case is upside down when it is turned to the back (the time without additional gears will rotate counterclockwise).

A complex system of gears and pinions allows the pointer to turn in the correct direction, no matter which side is facing up. Denis Flageollet of De Bethune explained that he had to invert and reposition the sports working gear train on the other side. This exercise also requires mastering the design and production of the gear train to avoid playing a role in his hands.

The result is very refined. For independent watchmaking enthusiasts, this is likely to be the "only" watch in this auction!

H08 is the version of the Hermès daily sports watch. It was launched in early 2021 and was well received. In fact, I think the dial and case together make the visual effect here so successful. If there is no other to express the goal of the watch manufacturer, a person will not exist so hopefully: in a new era, in this new era, men may be able to express a certain sense of design without worrying about risking any masculinity risks of.

On the original Grande Seconde Skelet-One Tourbillon, the dial was made of two layers of sapphire crystal and smoky crystal, but the Only Watch version eliminated quartz and replaced it with exquisite hand-made enamel enamel.

Jaquet Droz Big Seconds Hollow One Tourbillon Watch 2021

The thin golden whiskers surrounding the opaque enamel create geometric openings that have been selectively filled with red, orange and yellow enamel. Each enamel unit is carefully filled and fired many times to ensure perfect thickness and adhesion to the platinum frame.

Then use ultra-fine diamond polishing agent to polish the dial surface to form a perfectly smooth surface to highlight the texture of plique-à-jour enamel. The platinum frame has a circular opening for the tourbillon, otherwise the rest of the dial is a few symmetrical diagonal lines.

The exquisiteness of the dial is amazing, the translucent enamel is carefully suspended between platinum threads, and the color symbolizes happiness, passion and optimism.

Known as one of the hardest and most refined forms of enamel, the plique-à-jour dial created for this piece is an amazing achievement.

As early as 2021, Frederique Constant demonstrated its latest silicon movement technology in its Highlife Monolithic Manufacture, which uses an oscillator that conforms to silicon technology to replace 26 components. The flexible mechanism used in this watch is a one-piece structure-a monolithic silicon chip-instead of several separate traditional components. Therefore, the need to assemble individual parts is eliminated, while reducing the energy-grabbing friction inherent in all mechanical motions associated with these parts. Compliance uses its ability to "deform" to transfer energy.

Wow, many manufacturers are really concerned about orange things! I like it!

Then this is Gauthier. I like it very much, and for the price of the standard model, this estimate is a good sign.

What a great collection of design, materials and construction. I especially like Blancpain FF in Halloween colors! ! Can Only Watch bid remotely? thanks

Never seen so many amazing watches on one page, from classic to outrageous! It's great to see cheap brands like Baltic and Maurice Lacroix with the big boys.
