Now in its seventh edition, this year’s event makrs the first time that Only Watch will be hosted by the prestigious British auction house Christie’s. Here’s a look at some of the one-of-a-kind creations that will be auctioned off to the highest bidder with a heart of gold.
04 SPEAKE-MARIN THE RESILIENCE LOVE LIFE
Developed in collaboration with renowned Hollywood actor Pierce Brosnan, who is also the official ambassador of Speake-Marin, this latest timekeeping creation from the J-Class collection presents itself in a classic 38mm case in 18K red gold and houses the Calibre Vaucher 3002. This self-winding movement can be fully viewed via the sapphire caseback, which also displays the actor’s distinctive signature. Situated on the lower half of the white enamel dial are the words ‘Love Life’, which were originally written by the actor as a way to express his personal belief that we should always live our lives to the fullest while we still have time.
