To mark the occasion, the Schaffhausen-based Manufacture has created a unique piece, in a poetic tribute to the lunar body: the
Endeavour Perpetual Moon Concept Only Watch. The dial on this model is made from
Vantablack®, a super-black coating that holds the world record as the darkest man-made substance.

It is composed of carbon nanotubes that are vertically aligned next to each other and is capable of absorbing
99.965% of light. Fascinating and mysterious, the
Endeavour Perpetual Moon Concept Only Watch reinterprets the moon phase in an understated and resolutely modern way, highlighting the beauty of the moon in an ode to its purity.

Symbolising life, the perpetual and constantly renewed cycle of the lunar body in all its beauty and poetry, this creation pays tribute to the moon in a large window at 6 o'clock. Surrounding it is only space, as the E
ndeavour Perpetual Moon Only Watch is part of
H. Moser & Cie.'s
Concept series, without logo or indices. The dial, made from
Vantablack®, accentuates this impression, giving the sensation of looking into a real black hole at its centre out of which the moon shines.

Moser escapement.

This calibre ensures the watch has a minimum
7-day power reserve, with an indicator on the movement side. The moon phase system is an extremely precise display that can be set to within a minute. A perpetual moon, the
Endeavour Perpetual Moon Concept Only Watch is one of the most precise moon phases available, with one day's deviation every
1027 years.

WHERE CAN I SEE
THE ONLY WATCH COLLECTION
BEFORE THE 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
- Hong Kong 28 to 29 October at Christie’s
- 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.
