This week we talk about the 10th edition of the Only Watch charity auction, originally shcedule for 2023, but after drama and allegations of fiscal impropriety plagued the auction, it was delayed until the other week. Sadly, problems of a whole other nature marred its return, courtesy of some security issues with Christie’s online platform taking online voting off the table. Still, they managed to raise a tidy 28.3 million CHF, thanks largely to Patek Philippe. We chat about some of the high (and low) lights of the auction, as well as its place in the industry, On top of that, Van Cleef & Arpels CEO Nicolas Bos has been appointed Richemont group CEO, and we make a strong case for the fact that the only watch you truly need is a quartz Seiko.

There’s only watches in our Discord.
