The Auction will be organized by Christie’s within the scope of Only Watch gala 2019 scheduled to take place at The Four Seasons Hôtel des Bergues in Geneva on November 9th, 2019. Only Watch is a world-renowned charitable fundraiser, which has been held every two years since 2005, and which raises money into research on Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

This year, Singer Reimagined is donating its unique Black Damascus Steel piece, created exclusively for OnlyWatch. This one-of-a-kind Edition was developed in collaboration with Swedish Masters Johan Gustafsson and Patrik Sjögren, who created the specific Black Damascus Steel used for the watch case. This material is realised by hand forging together two different steel types layered and folded multiple times.

The elaborate finishing combines deep etched surfaces with lightly etched ones and high-gloss polished chamfers, revealing the Damascus steel pattern in different ways. The specially developed PVD coating enhance the contrast toward exclusive golden details on the dial. The strap receives as well golden stitching and golden titanium screw-down signature rivets.

Agengraphe movement

The unique movement of this watch has been developed during a decade thanks to Agenhor creative and engineering talents.

The chronograph’s hours, minutes and seconds are coaxially mounted in the center of the dial, taking central stage. Uncommonly, day-time is displayed on dial periphery and indicated digitally at 6 o’clock via the luminescent pointer set above 2 ceramic disks rotating clockwise, featuring luminescent hours and minutes marks.

Singer Only Watch extra experience

To offer a complete Singer experience, Singer Reimagined is offering to the winning bidder the opportunity to visit Agenhor manufacture in Geneva Switzerland to uncover the art of watch-making and the care in assembling our timepieces and the unique possibility to open doors to the
L.A based workshop to discover the behind-the- scenes work necessary to realise the exclusive car restorations signed Singer Vehicle Design.

AUCTION?

ONLY WATCH UNVEILS THE 50 UNIQUE WATCHES THAT WILL BE AUCTIONED FOR THE 8TH EDITION OF THE BIENNIAL CHARITY AUCTION TO BENEFIT RESEARCH ON DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY


Under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco and due to the initiative of Luc Pettavino, President of the Association Monégasque Contre les Myopathies, ONLY WATCH is proud to unveil today the names of the 52 watch brands participating in the 8th edition of the biennial charity auction benefitting research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy, as well as the 50 lots that will be auctioned.

This exceptional and unparalleled project supports the battle against a devastating myopathy that affects 1 in 3000 male births on the planet by funding research.

It is expected, this year again, to become the most talked-about topic in the watchmaking industry.

I am grateful to all the watchmaking groups and independent brands participating in this 2019 ONLY WATCH edition demonstrating dedication and heart through their creativity and craftmanship for this year’s auction which promises to be, once again, record-breaking”, says Luc Pettavino.

These 52 brands will offer sought-after rarities that can be accessed nowhere else. Unique pieces showcasing the best savoir-faire in the horology world in all of its diversity.

For the second time Christie’s is the auctioneer of choice on November 9 when the 50 one-of-a-kind timepieces will be auctioned at the Four Seasons Hôtel des Bergues at 2 pm (UTC+1).

Christie’s is looking forward working once more closely with the Association Monégasque contre les Myopathies on their 8th edition of ONLY WATCH, under the guidance of Luc Pettavino. On behalf of Christie’s, I would like to extend my sincere Thank You to all involved in making this project a priority and to be present on 9 November in Geneva to compete for one – or more – of the 50 unique and specially made timepieces for ONLY WATCH”, commented Earl of Snowdon, Honorary Chairman Christie’s EMEA

Ahead of the auction, this unprecedented watch collection will be exhibited to the public from 25 September 2019 to 9 November 2019, in 10 different cities around the world. This world tour will be starting in Monaco, during (and on the site of) the Monaco Yacht Show.

  • Monaco         25 to 28 September    at the Monaco Yacht show
  • Dubai            1 to 3 October              at Christie’s in association with Seddiqi
  • Paris              7 to 8 October             at Christie’s
  • London         11 to 13 October          at Christie’s
  • New York      16 to 17 October          at Christie’s
  • Tokyo            22 to 23 October          at Christie’s
  • Singapore     25 to 26 October          at Malmaison by the Hour Glass

  • Taipei           30 to 31 October          at Christie’s
  • Geneva         7 to 9 November          at Four Seasons Hôtel des Bergues

Since its creation in 2005, ONLY WATCH has raised over CHF40 million. Again, 100% of the proceeds achieved with the 8th edition of the charity auction 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, of course, the auctioneer, Christie’s.

With ONLY WATCH everyone creates beauty to do good, meaning in this case supporting the work of dozens of researchers around the world, financing studies, purchasing material, creating biotech companies in the chemistry and biology sector… to bring this science to the clinic and one day maybe to find a cure. We have done a lot already and are conscious that there is still much to be done and that this initiative needs, more than ever, help and support.” Luc Pettavino.
