Roger Dubuis symbolically dedicates a unique piece from its La Monégasque collection to Only Watch 2013, the prestigious two-yearly charity auction benefiting research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy, of which the latest edition will be held on September 28th at the Monaco Yacht Show.
A natural choice
Recognised as the world’s first charity watch auction and held every two years, Only Watch is now into its fifth edition under the auspices of the Monegasque Association against Muscular Dystrophy together with Antiquorum Auctioneers. In tribute to the promoters of this noble cause as well as to the location of the auction, Roger Dubuis naturally turned to its La Monégasque collection in creating this year’s piece. The world of the Player embodied in this collection is indeed inspired by the principality’s legendary elegance and refinement, combined with an unmistakable hint of boldness. Its distinctive silhouette accentuated by refined and elegant lines evokes the world of the stylish risk-taking Player. As a contemporary interpretation of watchmaking codes rooted in tradition that is all about style rather than fashion, the La Monégasque collection places its bets firmly on audacity and excellence. Designed for people seeking to express their individuality and uniqueness, it highlights Roger Dubuis’ watchmaking expertise through traditional complications.
