After being scrutinized before Only Watch 2023 regarding financial accounting practices, the charity AMM (Association Monégasque contre les Myopathies), was forced to postpone Only Watch in 2023. An audit of the charity’s finances came back clean. Approximately 2% of the auction result goes to running the charity.

While a handful of companies that normally participate dropped out, most companies continued — and Only Watch 2024 was rescheduled to take place in Geneva (May 10th, 2024).

This past Friday, under the management of respected auction house Christie’s, Only Watch 2024 raised CHF 28.3 million ($31.2 million) to accelerate research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy and has raised more than CHF 128 million since 2005. The full press release can be read here.
