Guiltless Luxury: Five Picks From The Only Watch Charity Auction

Since its inception in 2005, Only Watch has become the premier international watchmaking charity event, raising funds for research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a rare genetic disease that cruelly strikes down children and young adults. Watchmakers donate strictly one-off pieces, or the first piece in a series, for auction at the biennial event, which takes place in Geneva next month. The 49 timepieces donated for this year’s auction represent a cross-section of the industry’s style and innovation. The buyers will be helping to make the world a better place as they add remarkable timepieces to their collections. Here are five examples that we think will garner the most feverish bidding.
