The date has been set in Monaco! Only Watch, an auction of exceptional watches organized by Antiquorum, will be held on Thursday September 20, 2007. All proceeds will go to a Duchenne muscular dystrophy charity.
Richard Mille will of course be present with a watch designed again with Philippe Starck. In 2005, the Mille/Starck watch had met with tremendous success. The bidding rocketed, reaching € 285,000, the absolute auction record.
With this unique piece created for Only Watch 2007, Richard Mille and Philippe Starck have once

again taken a step further in their collaboration with an extremely complicated watch, both in terms of design and production.
An unexpected look, audacious on the one hand; state-of-the-art reliability and technology on the other and, above all, the feat of making this incredible prototype in titanium presented in the form of a bangle. There is no room for concession here.
The design is radical: modernity and toughness, downstrokes and upstrokes, the lateral structure of the case which continues throughout the length of

the bracelet, vulcanization on the back for maximum comfort and a soft touch on the wrist, the sophisticated movement, exclusive Richard Mille technical features like the variable geometry rotor which optimally adapts the winding of the barrel spring to the user’s activity.
This stylish, imposing, eminently masculine piece is original in every way. It is a superb stylistic exercise where ultimate performance and untamed beauty come together thanks to the talent of these designers… for a great cause.
