Only Watch 2019

The 8th edition will take place on Saturday 9 November 2019, at 2PM at the Four Seasons Hôtel des Bergues, in Geneva, under the hammer of Christie’s. The event is organised by Association Monégasque contre les Myopathies (Monaco Association against Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy) and is supported by Prince Albert II of Monaco.

100% of the proceeds will be directly invested in scientific and medical research on neuromuscular diseases in general and on Duchenne muscular dystrophy in particular. An achievement made possible by to the generous donation and participation of the 52 watch brands, the partners offering a variety of services and logistical support, the media offering substantial coverage and the auctioneer.
