If you’re unfamiliar with Only Watch, it’s a charity watch auction that happens once every two years to raise funds for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy research. The auction consists of unique 1-of-1 timepieces created by the world’s most high-profile brands. However, the 10th edition of the auction which was supposed to take place last year was delayed after questions arose about the initiative’s finances. Following months of financial audits and internal restructuring, the landmark auction is back as Only Watch returns for 2024 on May 10th.
We’ve already talked about the many and varied timepieces that will be up for sale and the majority of them return for the 2024 edition including the H. Moser x MB&F Streamliner Pandamonium and Tag Heuer Monaco Split Seconds. Several brands who initially dropped out of the running are also set to return, the most high profile of which is Patek Philippe.

What impact the absence of these names will have on the overall auction is up for debate, it will certainly reduce the overall funds raised however, that may be offset somewhat by the fact that the overall range of brands taking part had increased for 2023. Regardless, it’s exciting to see what is one of the most innovative and unique events in the wristwatch calendar make a return. The auction is set to take place on May 10th at the Palexpo in Geneva and is being conducted by Christie’s.
