The biennial Only Watch charity auction is back in full force this year. With a total of 44 unique pieces donated by established as well as independent brands, the Association Monégasque Contre les Myopathies (Monaco Association Against Muscular Dystrophy have teamed with Phillips’ watch department headed by Aurel Bacs to raise money for a worthy cause.
Earlier this week I got to check out the majority of the unique pieces coming up in the Only Watch 2015 charity auction. I say the majority because a number of watches still hadn’t been delivered to Phillips when I was there, and because photographing 44 pieces in two hours is impossible for an amateur such as myself, so I basically chose the ones I found more interesting.
So below, in alphabetical order, are just over half the lots that will be auctioned in Geneva on the 7th of November 2015.
