The Principality of Monaco is well known for the exceptional beauty and charm of its location on the Mediterranean sea, and its main attractions: Casino, Formula 1 Grand Prix, Monaco Yacht Show, Monte Carlo Tennis Masters... Not only it is home to luxury and “savoir-vivre�, it is also a place where social welfare holds a great importance and where business meets philanthropy. ONLY WATCH, founded and based in Monaco, is an iconic testimony of this approach.

A WORD FROM THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY Our scientific community wishes to thank and express its gratitude to HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, the Monegasque Association against Muscular Dystrophy (AMM) and the Only Watch participants / partners / donors for their exceptional support of numerous research projects whose objective is the design and development of effective treatments for the Duchenne myopathy, an emblematic neuromuscular disease affecting nearly one boy in three thousand at birth. We are convinced that isolated research does not exist and that the therapeutic innovations are the fruit of collaborations between multidisciplinary laboratories sharing a common goal.
Here the challenge is immense, and the means necessary considerable. We believe it is important to acknowledge the success of Only Watch and the impressive reactivity of AMM, which has allowed, thanks to the millions of euros donated to science, to strengthen an international network of research teams, to recruit talented young researchers, and to grant our laboratories specialized equipment. They have all contributed to the development of new therapeutic avenues, some of which are about to be evaluated in patients.

A WORD FROM JOHN REARDON INTERNATIONAL HEAD OF CHRISTIE’S WATCH DEPARTMENT On a personal level, Only Watch means many different things to many different people. For some, it represents a way of giving back. For others, it represents a way to channel their passion for watches into something much greater than the watch they wear. For many, it means a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a truly unique timepiece – one that was never made before and will never be made again. For me, Only Watch represents the celebration of all things that are good in the watch industry today. Collectors, brands, artists, and all kinds of enthusiasts come together as a family for this auction and a memorable afternoon of spirited competition and camaraderie. Christie’s is honored to be part of the world of Only Watch and we look forward to welcoming you all to the various viewings around the globe and, lastly, the much anticipated auction in Geneva.

Model name / Reference Carpe Diem / AGH-6361-OW
Case Plexiglas
Dial Instead of hands, five coaxial disks indicate time and elapsed time up to 60 hours: two outer disks display hours and minutes, while three inner disks respectively display chronograph hours, minutes, and seconds
Calibre
In 2017, after nine years of development, Agenhor presented the AgenGraphe®, the world’s most advanced chronograph movement. It features a revolutionary central, coaxial, elapsed time display offering unparalleled legibility for a wristwatch, plus a dial-side winding rotor that does not obscure appreciation of its mechanical beauty. For Only Watch, Agenhor presents Carpe Diem, powered by the very first production AgenGraphe® movement manufactured and delivered by Agenhor. Carpe Diem is a fully functioning desk clock and chronograph that can be orientated through 360 degrees: instead of hands, five rotating disks display time and elapsed time. Agenhor is a movement supplier, not a brand; this truly unique piece has been designed in collaboration with students at the Geneva University of Art and Design (HEAD), who imagined a transparent ball magnifying the beauty of this next-generation chronograph movement. The concept of highlighting what’s normally hidden is inspired by the vibrant minds and personalities of children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
Carpe Diem is powered by the AgenGraphe® Caliber AGH-6361-OW automatic winding chronograph movement, which is specially designed to display elapsed time indications on large-diameter disks rotating coaxially around the center of the dial where they can be read more legibly and more intuitively than chronograph displays on separate subdials. Caliber AGH-6361-OW is composed of 477 pieces including 68 ruby bearing jewels and has a power reserve of 60+ hours with chronograph running. The movement architecture, performance, quality and finishing of components matches Geneva Seal requirements.
(No) Bracelet Carpe Diem is a table clock chronograph suspended in the center of a rotating transparent Plexiglas sphere with integrated magnifying lens in an attractive presentation case.
Dimensions Diameter: 84 mm (sphere) - Diameter: 34.4 mm (movement)
COLLABORATION
Specificities Carpe Diem is both the very first and only timepiece signed by Agenhor and the world’s first production AgenGraphe® chronograph movement manufactured and delivered by the Geneva-based company.
Agenhor revisited its new chronograph for the students of the Watch Design class at HEAD (Haute Ecole d’Art et de Design of Geneva) to imagine a unique timepiece of art. Fourteen students worked in pairs over three weeks. The project designed by Bérénice Noël and Florian Wicki was unanimously acclaimed by the team working on this exceptional endeavor: Luc Pettavino (Only Watch), Jean-Marc Wiederrecht (Agenhor), Valérie Ursenbacher (HEAD), Technew (Packaging company) and the designer and PM Serena Trabalza. The Carpe Diem concept was selected for its «on the outside looking into inner beauty» approach, which the jury felt reflected living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
030 l ONLYWATCH
The concept and design by Bérénice Noël and Florian Wicki was selected from among seven projects submitted by third-year Watch Design students at HEAD.

Case Titanium
Dial Matte, solid silver in black colour. Sandwich construction with Super-LumiNova® on hours.
Calibre Vingt-8
Bracelet Leather, hand made
Dimensions Diameter: 39mm - Thickness: 11.50mm
Specificities The 28S, is a sports model which has Voutilainen’s in-house movement with a very modern looking dial. The combination of the movement, dial design and case material makes this watch unique.
Estimate CHF 55,000 - 85,000 EUR 50,000 - 77,000 USD 57,000 - 88,000 The movement contains a proprietary sprung-balance system that ensures perfect timing of the watch according to strict tolerance criteria. The balance has four gold inertia-blocks to adjust the daily rate. To equip this exceptional timepiece, a unique and very rare balance-spring system has been used. The outside is a typical Breguet overcoil, while the inner terminal follows the less common Grossmann principle. The watch’s outstanding feature is its escapement; it is the first watch to present two escapewheels in such a configuration. The escape-wheels provide a direct impulse to the balance through the roller/jewel.

RESSENCE in collaboration with HODINKEE is presenting a one-off TYPE 12 with open dial and sintered case. The timepiece symbolizes the work in progress that is the fight against Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). The different layers of the case, that represent the various milestones towards a solution, were only made possible by the sintering technique; a first in the history of fine-watchmaking. Sintering is the process of compacting and forming a solid mass of material by laser heat. As a symbol of optimism for the research into DMD, hints of green - the colour of hope - were added on the dial indexes. The TYPE 12OW “Only Watch” sub-dials continually revolve, as does the main disc into which they are set - like moons in orbit around a planet. Furthermore, a lever on the case-back replaces the familiar crown for a more instinctive setup/winding process.

Bracelet Back in the 1950s Piaget created a very distinctive watchcase that defied conventions with its unique cushion-shape. It was later owned by Andy Warhol, the emblematic and cultural figure of his era. In 2014, for the Biennale des Antiquaires in Paris, Piaget paid tribute to its daring spirit by recreating three timepieces with hardstone dials, creatively revisiting its heritage to create a contemporary look. For the seventh edition of Only Watch, Piaget introduces a yellow gold Black Tie Vintage Inspiration piece with the same aesthetic codes but featuring a hard stone dial in brown pietersite that recalls this year’s color theme. Known as the tempest stone with its highly charged energy, pietersite is a powerful protection stone, especially against the elements. A special “Only Watch 2017 – Unique Piece” engraving on the back of the case reaffirms the uniqueness of this elegant creation. “For this creation, the maison has taken inspiration from an iconic era that powerfully expresses the Piaget look, a style that continues to exercise an inimitably bold appeal today through the beauty of its unconventional shapes and audacious colours.” – Chabi Nouri, Piaget CEO.

For several months, MCT Watches worked hand in hand with the artist in order to give shape to a mysterious and fascinating watch. Initially developed for the military and aerospace industry, Vantablack soon caught Anish Kapoor’s interest. As the artist explains, “it’s the blackest material in the universe, after a black hole; a physical object that is impossible to see”. “When we found out about Vantablack, we were instantly spell bound by the unreal beauty, the depth and the dizzying power of the effect it creates.” said Pierre Jacques, CEO of MCT Watches.

Dimensions Dive into the imaginary world of children with the HM8 Only Watch created by MB&F with the young artist Cassandra Legendre. Based on Horological Machine N°8, this Pièce Unique in 18K white gold and grade 5 titanium is instantly recognisable thanks to its special sapphire crystal pane – engraved and metallised with a whimsical drawing created by the talented 15year old Cassandra. Visible under the doodle, the automatic HM8 engine features a unique purple winding rotor. Check the lateral time display and you’ll notice a miniature white gold elephant situated between the hour and minute prism; the elephant was sculpted by engraver Olivier Kuhn based on the elephant in Cassandra’s drawing Final touch: the MB&F logo on the double-screwed plate has been replaced by a happy face – symbolising the childlike perspective that Legendre brings to HM8.

COLLABORATION The base of this pièce unique is Horological Machine N°8, an automotive inspired creation that takes design cues from the legendary highoctane Can-Am race. Engraved and metallised on the sapphire crystal pane that surmounts the HM8 engine is a whimsical doodle created by 15-year-old Cassandra Legendre. A student currently living in Madrid, Legendre’s primary method of artistic expression is ballet, but she also produces remarkable drawings in her spare time. As an exception for MB&F’s contribution to Only Watch, Legendre and her family agreed to this one-off participation to strengthen the message of HM8 Only Watch — a child creating something to help children who have been denied many of the dreams and opportunities of childhood. Cassandra’s original drawing will be offered to the lot winner.

Icons are hard to come by. Maurice Lacroix made that dream come true for itself with the Calyspo, a quartz watch that became a staple of 1990’s watchmaking. In 2016, Maurice Lacroix reinvented that iconic watch. Now renamed Aikon, it has been profoundly redesigned to become a thing of the definite present. Sharp, modern, its undeniable charisma and careful finishings have made it an instant best-seller. Building on that success, the Aikon range is entering a new phase. For Only Watch 2017, Maurice Lacroix introduces the Aikon Automatic Chronograph. It paves the way for a new set of developments. From now on, Aikon will be fitted with automatic movements, in addition to quartz. Black and dark gray, with bright yellow highlights in reference to the colors of Only Watch 2017, it shows both matte and polished surfaces. Its intense outline, its masculine and sporty outlook, the pattern on its dial and obviously high level of finishings bode well for this momentous timepiece.

Model name / Reference Metropolis Only Watch / LM-45.10.30
Case 316L Stainless steel
Dial The piece sports a gold-plated dial, for which the firm has performed another first in terms of decoration: its face is first gilded – and then hand-punched to form lunar ‘craters’. And to complete the metaphor, Ateliers Louis Moinet has filled these craters with genuine fragments of lunar meteorites. By combining both its artisanal skill with dials and its expertise in the craftsmanship of stones and meteorites – now one of the firm’s hallmarks – Ateliers Louis Moinet has produced a uniquely beautiful sidereal work featuring amazing miniature painting.
Calibre Close to its edge, between 8 o’clock and 11 o’clock, Louis Moinet reveals the piece’s beating heart: an in-house movement, the LM31 caliber. Above the visible escapement, a small seconds hand glides over a sapphire crystal counter, slightly smoked to ensure it is perfectly readable. The hour hands are in blued steel, in the purest fine watchmaking tradition. Featuring Louis Moinet’s signature “dewdrop” tips, they trace a circle around a powder-coated black flange. The 43.2 mm diameter steel case reveals the entire underside of the movement through a sapphire crystal caseback, around which the words “Pièce Unique – Only Watch” are engraved. The watch is wound by means of an oscillating weight decorated with a concentric Clou de Paris pattern and a fragment of lunar meteorite – another finishings first for the Ateliers.
Bracelet The Metropolis Only Watch comes with a hand-sewn Louisiana alligator leather strap, and a folding clasp with “Fleur-de-lys” motif.
Dimensions Diameter: 43.2mm - Thickness: 14.80mm
Specificities
From Jules Verne to the Little Prince, and from Georges Méliès to Neil Armstrong, the Moon embodies all the dreams and challenges of humankind. And for its first contribution to Only Watch, Louis Moinet has reached across 380,000 km to our lunar satellite, so as to offer children a brighter future. “We thought long and hard about how best to reach for the Moon and help children suffering from myopathy,” explains Jean-Marie Schaller, Ateliers Louis Moinet’s CEO and Creative Director. “The legacy left by Mr Louis Moinet himself helped guide us in the creation of this timepiece. As a watchmaker, he was one of the pioneers of observational astronomy. This piece demonstrates our commitment to Only Watch – and also offers a fitting tribute to an outstanding inventor and committed humanist.” For its first contribution to the Only Watch charity auction, Ateliers Louis Moinet has summoned the very essence of its know-how. The firm has produced a unique timepiece, “Metropolis for Only Watch” – a most worthy successor to Mr Louis Moinet’s own Compteur de Tierces from 1816, the first chronograph in history, which was also used for observational astronomy.

Each bases its identity on the opposite ends of watchmaking’s stylistic spectrum. On one side, the expression of timehonoured traditions; on the other, an anarchic effort to overturn conventions.

Sold for CHF / EUR / USD The story started behind the watchmaking scenes. It was in November 2015 at a watchmaking exhibition like many others. There, two watchmakers, exiled from the cocoons of their respective workshops, made a tentative effort to escape the crowds and take a break. “Of course, I knew him by sight. But there, we seemed to be alone in the world, lost in a bubble, and so we got to know one another.” recalls Felix Baumgartner. Laurent Ferrier picks up the story: “I’m rather shy by nature, but I quickly found common ground with Felix. The place was peculiar, but the time was right.” Their friendship was to blossom into a joint project — to build a bridge between two watchmaking companies and thereby to create an exceptional watch for a noble cause. Combining tradition with daring innovation was like mixing oil and water.

While watchmaking tends to feature a thoughtful and straight face, Chaykin proposes an unconventional approach of recreating watches as kinetic pop art pieces. The Joker watch is emotionally faced and you never know what face it is going to be in the next minute. Chaykin has adventured creation of a new fine movement spirit that is protean, ever spectacular and provocative. A two-disk current time module displays with the Joker’s eyes as hours and minutes, and a moon phase indicator as the Joker’s best smile were designed exclusively for the Joker watch. A reliable, time proven automatic ETA caliber is embedded with a friction reducing eight-stone module, while the case has a second crown for adjusting the moon phase. The Joker is the card capable to change the game course. It comes out to beat any other card, creates incredible combinations and provokes spectacular moves. It is a synonym for good luck, a forerunner of a dazzling adventure and a hint implying risk playing with fate itself and triumph.

Such is the purpose of the unique Slim d’Hermès L’heure impatiente timepiece unveiled at Only Watch 2017, whose complication invites us to look forward to an upcoming moment. The jubilant ritual consists of setting the counter of the watch to the time of the eagerly awaited event that will take place in less than 12 hours. An hour before it occurs, the mechanical hourglass is set in motion and its progress can be followed at 6 o’clock on the dial. This complication that stirs our feelings and heightens our sense of pleasurable expectation is an exquisite torture that culminates when the note rings out. The striking mechanism has been designed to ensure a lasting, velvety-smooth sound that is also delightfully modulated for the wearer’s ears only.

H. Moser & Cie. is proud to join the fight against Duchenne muscular dystrophy by supporting the Only Watch Auction. For this occasion, H. Moser & Cie. has created a unique piece, the Venturer Concept Only Watch. A symbol of life and renewal, red takes centre stage in this watch, which showcases a vibrant red fumé dial and features a striking red balance bridge. Offering a beautiful contrast, the white hour and minute hands refer to the colours of the Monaco flag. Part of the H. Moser series of Concept watches, the Venturer Concept Only Watch relinquishes both logo and indices. This minimalist approach puts the product itself in the spotlight, as a reminder that true luxury is distinctive. This is a watch with an authenticity and purity that prove that only the essential matters. Faced with illness, especially when it affects a child, priorities come into sharp focus, centering on what is important. Everything else is of no consequence.

This is the first time that Girard-Perregaux has made a wristwatch in bronze. Laureato, the iconic watch born in the 1970s and revived in 2017, a brand flagship model that has achieved colossal success, is on offer as a unique and exclusive model for Only Watch 2017. The Laureato exclusively on auction at Only Watch is a resolutely distinctive watch featuring pleasantly wearable proportions. Issued as a one-off creation with an on-trend bronze case and chocolate brown alligator leather strap, this supremely sporty and elegant watch embodies the unmistakable brand identity.

As a passionate supporter of charitable foundations, Frederique Constant continues to show its support to this noble cause. This year, the brand does so with the Perpetual Calendar, which has been praised as one of the most reliable and affordable grandes complications in the industry. For this exclusive Only Watch edition, the brand wanted to present a variation of this timepiece that is incredibly jaw dropping. The timepiece features the functions of a perpetual calendar, such as hours, minutes, moonphase, date, day, month and most importantly the leap year. All in an 18K polished rose gold 42mm case with a see-through back case revealing intricate Perlage and Côtes de Genève decoration on the FC-775 in-house caliber. However, what makes this piece truly exclusive is the one-of-a-kind meteorite dial giving the once classic timepiece, an edgy twist! Meteorite stones are often found in desert areas; in this case, the one used for this unique piece was uncovered in the desert of Namibia. A perpetual calendar perpetuates the endless passing of time, this unstoppable force by which all of mankind’s actions are defined. It was only fitting that the brand chose a material that has most likely wandered through space for millions of years before hitting earth to symbolise the etherealness of our lives, a symbol of eternity and a message to live to the fullest, making every minute count.

The first deliveries of the new Visionnaire Chronograph were due to take place in November; however, Fabergé has worked closely with its external work-masters to ensure the first Chronograph was available to dedicate to this special cause. Jean-Marc Wiederrecht and his team at Agenhor developed the revolutionary chronograph movement that is housed in this watch and Someco has created the bespoke dial, so we’re thrilled to offer a special-edition Fabergé Visionnaire Chronograph to the Only Watch initiative.” “We would also be delighted to offer the opportunity to visit the workshops and meet the talented artisans.”
Dimensions Diameter: 43mm - Thickness: 14.35mm

Following the tradition of constant innovation and excellency of the great masters watchmakers, De Bethune is proud to propose, this edition, a reinterpretation of a traditional horological creation using the current, technical and aesthetic innovations of today and based on the emblematic architecture of the Yacht Club de Monaco by Foster and Partners, a symbolic centerpiece of Monaco’s remodeled harbor front. This combination between know-how, art and technology through a unique object dedicated to mechanics and architecture, returns to the watchmaking tradition of clock manufacturing, symbolizing the universality of time and the bond between people and their environment. This chronometer is also celebrating research and discovery with a unique mirror game in bronze, the same material than Galileo’s once used for his night-time observations. Spiral shaped, it deepens into the heart of the mechanic as much as it refers to the emblematic building’s stairs. An exceptional piece of contemporary design and a tremendous demonstration of craftmanship. Thank you to the Yacht Club de Monaco and Foster and Partners for their approval and support.
EXPERIENCE On the occasion of the Only Watch 2017 charity auction, De Bethune is proud to offer to the successful bidder a unique journey into the heart of watchmaking art. What watch enthusiast has not dreamt of trying for himself the art of chamfering, flame blueing or, of course, watchmaking?

Case XO Steel : a secret stainless steel alloy unique to Czapek, normally used in the North Sea’s extremely corrosive conditions
Dial Immaculate white enamel « Grand Feu » dial of 36.7mm ø with two welded sub-dials. The large size of the dial reveals a very rare bombé shape created by capillarity, and a « secret sentence » created using a rare enamel making technique. It also boasts a secret signature by Francois Czapek in the small seconds sub-dial.
Calibre The SXH1 is a 3 hertz Czapek proprietary, doublebarrel, 7-day, manually wound movement. It is an unusual re-interpretation of the original movement of Czapek model 3430 made in 1850. The movement’s bridges have been finely sandblasted to recall the original frosted finish of the nineteenth century movements. Angles are all finished by hand (bevelling) and ratchets are open as in the original version.
Bracelet Alligator Mississippiensis « Emperor blue » strap with a stainless steel ardillon buckle
Dimensions Ø 42.5mm – Thickness 11.8mm François Czapek was a Czech-born Polish watchmaker who fled to Geneva in 1832 after fighting in the ill-fated Polish uprising. He immediately started his own atelier and in 1839 entered into a partnership with Antoine Norbert de Patek, introducing him to the world of watchmaking. In 1845, at the end of their partnership, he created Czapek & Cie and achieved considerable success. He became the official watchmaker of Napoleon III and opened what was most likely the first watchmaking boutique on the Place Vendôme in Paris. He wrote a book about watchmaking, one of the first ever written in Polish but unfortunately died before publishing a second one. Czapek & Cie has been revived in 2015 with an exceptional collection, whose leading model won the Public Prize in the Grand Prix de l’Horlogerie in Geneva in November 2016. This collection takes its inspiration from a 1850s Czapek time piece. It features a beautiful enamel dial and is powered by a 7-day proprietary movement, perfectly combining craftsmanship, design, exclusivity and rarity. In 2017, Czapek & Cie has created a unique piece for Only Watch with a very special dial to pay tribute to the children and their families fighting against muscular dystrophy.
Specificities The uniqueness of this timepiece lies in its enamel « Grand Feu » dial featuring a secret sentence: « Courage every second ». The sentence remains invisible and hence secret until its owner reveals it with a ray of light, for example when the sun is bouncing off the dial at a certain angle. The secret sentence is a première in watchmaking.

To provide a joyful escort for the passing of time, two hand-engraved dragonflies indicate the time. The white gold case is adorned with 59 blue sapphires and 15 marquise-cut emeralds symbolising the leaves of the cherry tree. The visual enchantment does not end here. One press on the pusher at 2 o’clock makes the numbers disappear to reveal the phrase specially created for Only Watch: “Pour l’amour de la vie” (For the love of life). The sapphire caseback provides an opportunity to admire the movement’s oscillating weight, set with 4 emeralds and 4 blue sapphires.

Bracelet The Manero Peripheral Only Watch 2017 model is the epitome of a timeless classic. The timepiece’s clear design language emphasizes the sophisticated finish of the 18K white gold case. The characteristic peripheral rotor, which Carl F. Bucherer was the first manufacturer to put into series production, appears for the first time ever in the same royal blue that adorns the model’s leather strap and indices, a tribute to the brand’s attention to detail. Alluding to the auction that will take place on November 11, the eleven of the date appears in the same blue. A metallic dedication is placed on the inside of the see-through sapphire crystal case back that reads “ONLY WATCH 2017 – Pièce unique – Fabriquée en Suisse”, adding another layer to the one-of-a-kind character of the timepiece. This is a watch that embodies the full innovative force of the Carl F. Bucherer manufacture by blending the sophisticated engineering of the in-house movement with a timeless design interpretation.

White mother-of-pearl dial with luminescent miniature painting of a Geisha
Calibre Automatic Haute Horlogerie movement Calibre 11BA15
Bracelet Full skin alligator The house of Bovet has been a leading name in watchmaking for 195 years thanks to its mastery of the decorative arts. The miniature paintings adorning the pocket watches manufactured by the Bovet brothers are omnipresent in watchmaking and art museums worldwide. Yet traditional craftsmanship does not preclude innovation, as nobly illustrated by the technicality applied to the creation of this timepiece dial. The Geisha hand-painted on the dial of this timepiece combines different layers of traditional painting and Super-LumiNova®, rendering this miniature work of art, affixed to mother-of-pearl, visible both by day and by night. For Only Watch, the artisans at Bovet 1822 have gone even further, as the Geisha bares all when night falls. This unprecedented innovation in watchmaking makes the link between the traditional enamelwork that established the House’s reputation in the 19th century and the erotic watches of the same period.
Dimensions Diameter: 42mm - Thickness (with glasses): 9.00mm Thickness (without glasses) 7.70mm

The Métier d’art dial represents two wheat ears in white gold sculpted and engraved in volume over the mother-of-pearl. The grains are at different levels of height and recover themselves in the clockwise direction. They are paved with snow-setting diamonds.
Calibre From the very founding of the Maison in 1858, Frédéric Boucheron used wild flora as a source of inspiration. Nature according to Boucheron is free, proud and wild. No flowers tamed or arranged. During the Second Empire, the Empress Eugénie latched on to wild flowers. As prosperous times and imperial celebrations followed, Boucheron’s creations danced among the splendid finery of the women of the court. The jeweler’s aesthetic bias took shape: that of a flower not shaped by man’s hand. Wheat conveys a symbolism between fantasy and reality. Emblem of the Egyptian god Osiris who they say created it; golden wheat symbolizes fertility and wealth. It is often represented in pictorial art for its many positive attributes and golden colours associated with the Sun. Today, Epure Blé d’été reinterprets into a contemporary creation the wheat allegories and the jewelry vision: celebrating the happiest moments of life.

Movement with NAC-coated solid gold winding rotor The Fifty Fathoms, presented in 1953, was the first modern diving watch in the world. In the wake of its adoption by the French Navy’s combat swimmers corps for which it was initially designed, this timepiece was ordered by some of the most powerful navies in the world. Soon after its debut, Jean-Jacques Fiechter, Blancpain’s CEO at the time, added a first additional element to his diving watch: a circular water-resistance indicator, which was to become a standard-issue feature on watches worn by American combat swimmers. For Only Watch, Blancpain presents a one-of-a-kind creation inspired by the new Tribute to Fifty Fathoms MIL-SPEC timepiece, featuring hour-markers and hands enhanced with intense yellow Super-LumiNova® reflecting the colour code of the Only Watch 2017 logo.

Specificities On the back, the decorated case cover features a small central platinum disk that is like a powerful, protective talisman, and bears the engraved words ONLY WATCH and the number 7 - remembering the years of the OW auction project. Made entirely in Geneva, the MOSAÏQUE by Barbier-Mueller timepiece pays homage to fine Genevan watchmaking and to the decorative arts. The entire piece, from the dial to the rose gold case, features a subtle cloisonné motif that evokes the art of mosaics, which dates from the end of the fourth century B.C. In a reference to the pocket watch, the back has a cover that is similarly decorated. When opened, it reveals its heart - a mechanical gold movement designed and manufactured by F.P.Journe – Invenit et Fecit, thus definitively confirming the horological legitimacy of this exclusive series. The prototype of MOSAÏQUE by Barbier-Mueller, with its rose gold case, ideally showcases the play of light over the coloured jasper stones. Several hundreds of hours of work were necessary for the stone setting and the realisation of this aesthetically complex piece. The case sides, the dial, and the case back are very subtly adorned with a mosaic motif made up of brick-coloured, black, white, and green jasper. The watch counts as many as 196 elements : 96 pieces of jasper on the dial, 72 on the case back, and 28 on the case sides. Underneath the case back, the 18K rose gold movement, based on the F.P.Journe 1304 calibre, displays the supreme elegance of mechanical horology.

Further highlighting the unique execution of the Time Pyramid Only Watch 2017 are the red accents throughout, adding a vibrant touch to the blacked-out timepiece and recalling the Principality of Monaco’s official color.

PAUL PETTAVINO: YOU ARE MISSED, MY FRIEND “We thought we had to help Paul,” Nicolas Allera, a fellow journalism student from Paul’s first year, tells Monaco Life, “but in fact Paul was always helping us. He never put his disease on other people and he was always smiling.” Open-minded, smart and always telling jokes in class, Nicolas adds that “Paul wanted to show us and himself that he was just a regular kid in the class.” Another EDJ student, Laura Berlioz, started a “cagnotte”, a donation box, to collect money for the Monegasque Muscular Dystrophy Association (Association Monégasque contre les Myopathies), launched by Paul’s father, Luc, in 2001. Mr Pettavino, who was managing director the Monaco Yacht Show for 18 years until 2010, is also Chairman of the
T
wo years ago, Paul Pettavino was a student of mine at the École du Journalisme (EDJ) in Nice. Funny, clever and always the first one to volunteer to participate, whether for the “Today’s News” segment or a game, you would have thought he was like any one of the 74 other young budding journalists of his year. Except Paul had Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and lived in a stand-up power wheelchair. I was deeply saddened to learn that this lovely young man died on Saturday, November 12, 2016, just shy of his 21st birthday. While other students in my classes would hand in assignments late with the excuse that they couldn’t find printing paper or when confronted about plagiarism would reply, “I couldn’t have plagiarised because my mom wrote my paper”, Paul was battling his physical constraints on a minute-by-minute basis, never complaining. He gave me hope. His level of English comprehension was higher than most of his peers, and often when I’d make a joke in English under my breath, I would look at him for a response, and be rewarded with a grin.

Board at Synthena, a biotech company in Bern, Switzerland, which aim is to develop life-saving drugs for the treatment of severe neuromuscular diseases in general and Duchenne muscular dystrophy in particular. The 6th edition of the Only Watch charity auction held November 7, 2015, showcased a collection of “44 exceptional one-off timepieces”.
Paul’s Facebook page has been painted with touching tributes to such a unique individual, and as Monaco Life discreetly reached out to others that knew him, we were moved to tears by the impact he consistently made on others: “Such an unfair, destructive illness and yet this young man taught us bravery, the true essence of joy and, of course, the importance of here and now. May Paul Rest in Peace, pain free and fly little angel.”
Paul himself worked with Louis Vuitton four times over the years, designing special watches for the occasion. In 2015, his “World is a dance floor” (complete with Night Fever dance floor pattern on the dial, pictured) was a variation of Louis Vuitton’s Escale Worldtime, and in 2013, he created the Tambour Regatta Spin Time watch.

Held at La Réserve in Geneva, Only Watch, which is under the High Patronage of HSH Prince Albert II, raised €10,450,000 in 2015 for DMD research, making it the association’s most successful fundraiser to date. Paul, who grew up in Monaco and attended Lycée Albert 1er, had many creative outlets. Just over a year ago, he had his first photography exhibition at Le Teashop at Place des Moulins. In a tribute to Jack Kerouac, “On the Road” unveiled a collection of Paul’s photos from a 2014 trip to the US and Canada, where he visited Boston, New York, Washington, Ottawa, Montreal and other cities, with a focus on architecture and urban landscapes. “I wanted to show through my exposition what I discovered,” Paul said in an interview at the opening.

“Paul was truly an exceptional person, a lesson in love and goodness,” Le Teashop owner Sharon Eastwood tells Monaco Life. A friend of the Pettavino family, Sharon has known Paul and his older sister, Tess, since they were born and used to babysit the two of them. “Paul was so serene. He was a beautiful, affectionate, extremely kind, radiant, always smiling and a creative spirit,” she adds. “The last time we dined together, we talked about doing the next exhibition at the Teashop on the theme of ‘public benches’. He was very enthusiastic and full of ideas, as usual.” “I am very happy to have had the chance to cross his path and share some nice moments with him. He was very much surrounded with love, he has a great family and I wish them much courage to overcome this painful ordeal.”
