The Only Watch charity auction takes place every two years. World's leading manufacturers of complex mechanical watches, leaders of the watchmaking industry and pioneers of watchmaking art, including independent watchmakers, create unique pieces specially for these events. The auction is traditionally preceded by the Only Watch World Tour, showcasing the lots to be sold at the upcoming event. During the tour collectors can appreciate this year's models and make a decision about purchasing them.
In 2023 Konstantin Chaykin will again, for the fourth time, participate in the Only Watch auction. His creation this year is the "Stargazer"wristmon with two dials, the most complex model of the auction and the most complex watch ever made in Russia. The movement of this unique new piece has 664 parts and incorporates 16 functions and complications, both classic ones (including a tourbillon and a moonphase indicator) and ones newly invented by Konstantin Chaykin himself.
The Only Watch-2023 World Tour will last from September 6 to November 5. During this time exhibitions will be held in eight cities all over the world: Los Angeles, New York, Monaco, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore, Dubai and Geneve. The last stop of the tour will be in Geneve, where the Only Watch-2023 auction will take place on November 5.
You're more than welcome to attend one of the most significant events in the watchmaking world.
