This weekend, the Only Watch auction (aka horology Christmas) will be held in Geneva.
The biennial event’s name comes from the fact that all 50 timepieces up for bidding are one-of- a-kind. World-renowned watch brands from Hublot to F.P. Journe donate one-off pieces to raise funds for Duchenne muscular dystrophy research.
Back in July, we noted five of the most eccentric pieces going under the gavel. But with the auction this Saturday, it’s high time you perused the whole gamut.
Christie’s is hosting, and they’ve made bidding available online. With estimated going prices between $3,513 and $1,104,198, here are a few you’d do well to bid on.
