Only Watch 2023: One-off watches to be auctioned off for charity

This year, the Only Watch auction celebrates its 10th anniversary, with organizers announcing 62 unique lots for the 2023 edition, a record high participation for an independent and storied high quality watches replica brand with one-of-a-kind creations and some interesting collaborations

The Only Watch auction began in 2005 with a primary focus on raising funds for research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a genetic disease that causes progressive muscle degeneration and weakness. The idea is simple - to recruit as many watch brands as possible and auction off the one-off timepieces they create so that proceeds from their sales can be used for this noble cause. Since then, with the support of the watchmaking community, the event has grown and has become one of the most anticipated biennial events in the watch industry. To date, the previous nine editions have helped raise a total of around CHF 100 million; the 2023 edition will be held in Geneva on November 5, with all 62 lots offered at auction house Christie's, which has continuously partnered with the event. It's the fourth time. This year, too, because of their 10th anniversary, the organizers incorporated all the colors of the previous edition and added green to it - which they see as a symbol of hope. Let's take a look at some of the unique timepieces that were selected.
