Only Watch auction to return in September

By Hallie Engel

The fifth Only Watch auction is set to take place in September, with 38 luxury watch brands already signed up to create one-of-a-kind timepieces to be sold at auction to raise money for charity.

The Only Watch auction is a bi-annual event supported by brands including Van Cleef & Arpels, Zenith, Harry Winston, Patek Philippe, Bell & Ross, Corum and Chanel, who create a one-of-a-kind timepiece for the event.

The Monaco-based auction of 38 timepieces will take place on September 28 – during the Monaco Yacht Show – following a world tour of the watches, which will stop off in Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, New York and Geneva.
