Only Watch 2015: Christophe Claret makes a new donation to Only Watch

Christophe Claret is once again supporting the Only Watch charity auction by presenting a one-of-a-kind model entitled Espoir & Paix. With this timepiece, Christophe Claret pays tribute to Hope (espoir) on the dial and to Peace (paix) on the caseback.

An emerald set in the dial center is highlighted by a mirascope, a device featured for the first time in the Aventicum watch, based on the same principle as a hologram and creating an almost twice-enlarged image of the emerald with its green color symbolizing hope. This optical effect gives the impression that the precious stone is literally bursting out of the watch.

The center of the oscillating weight appearing through the back of the watch is graced with a portrait of Alfred Nobel with a green agate rim revealing the movement. It also bears the name of the 129 laureates who have received the Nobel Peace Prize since its creation, listed clockwise in chronological order with the most recent appearing at 6 o’clock.

A traveling exhibition of the Only Watch collection will be organized starting September 23rd (www.onlywatch.com).  

Dates and venues are as follows:

  • Monaco: Monaco Yacht Show, September 23rd to 26th
  • Hong Kong: Philips, October 2nd to 5th
  • Beijing: Park View Green, October 9th to 12th 
  • New York: Philips, October 17th to 20th
  • London: Philips, October 24th to 27th
  • Geneva: Philips, November 5th to 7th

A loyal supporter of the Monaco Association against Muscular Dystrophy (AMM) for almost 15 years to date, Christophe Claret is proud to be taking part in this 6th edition of Only Watch, for which the auction will be held in Geneva this year on November 7th.
