TT.SS.HH. Prince Albert and Princess Charlène of Monaco welcomed the Only Watch community in the prince’s palace.
Monaco, September 28, 2023 – Following the launch of the Only Watch (OW) World Tour in Los Angeles and New York, the collection of unique timepieces of this 10th edition has arrived in Monaco, where it is exhibited until Saturday, September 30, at the Monaco Yacht Show.
On this occasion, the OW community – watchmakers, donors, partners, media and the researchers – was received by TT.SS.HH. the Prince and the Princess of Monaco in their palace. It was an opportunity for the Prince to reiterate his commitment to Only Watch from day 1, as the sale has been held under his high patronage and in his presence since the first edition.
These exceptional timepieces will then travel to Asia and the Middle East before being auctioned on November 5 in Geneva under the hammer of Christie’s (info on: onlywatch.com/attend). The proceeds from the sale will be donated to research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy and other genetic diseases (info on onlyproject.org). A total of 73 brands and 62 lots are taking part in the 2023 edition, including 16 collaborations and 16 first-time entries.
“I am extremely happy to have gathered the Only Watch community in Monaco around TT.SS.HH. the Prince and the Princess, whom I thank from the bottom of my heart for their warm welcome. Only Watch federates, in a convivial and friendly atmosphere, an industry around a cause – research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It’s a space where the personal meets the universal, where creativity is fully unleashed to offer therapeutic hope.”
Luc Pettavino, Founder of Only Watch and President of the Association Monégasque contre les Myopathies
