Unexpectedly I seem to be drawn to ...
... the dials in this particular Only Watch series.
I think the Vacheron Constantin enamel "Métiers d’Art Perspectives d’Art Dove" must look amazing in real life and I also liked the whimsy of the Van Cleef & Arpels dial. The Piaget Altiplano skeleton and the Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece with the square gear PR indicator also caught my eye.

ONLYWATCH 2011 Collection with Wish Price List - Preview in Singapore
30 August 2011 - The ONLYWATCH 2011 Collection arrived at the second stop of its world tour in Singapore after Bangkok. The 40 unique pieces were displayed at Malmaison by The Hour Glass. On the second floor of Malmaison where the collection was being exh...
Something for everyone
For me, it's got to be the Richard Mille RM27. Thanks for posting all the eye candy, Kong.
My wish as well
would be unfair not to run it as a regular production watch... have more shots of the beauty? Thanks again Kong . Faisal
Just one more...
Can't do much as the piece was inside the glass case. A slightly different angle Kong...
The ikepod hourglass!
Thanks for sharing Kong. Would go down to take a peek. Cheers PAt
PAt, the pieces should ...
have left for HK. The preview only one day for Spore. Kong
Wow, very nice collection!
I wonder what to focus on when it comes to Tokyo Must be an incredible collection to see at once! Thanks! Ken
If can go early :-)
Hi Ken I hope when the pieces arrive in Tokyo on 7 Sept, they are not wrapped up. If you can be there early, you have enough time to look closely ;-) Enjoy! Kong
That's a good one!
If you can have the watches out of the glass cases, will be even more splendid pics Kong
Thank you for the share Kong !
Since these watches have all been released on the net, I really find that these versions of sometimes well known watches are very attractive. This is not often the case when brands launch a limited edition of a watch. The one that cought my attention ? I ...
Indeed ...
Hi Mark The DeBethune piece definitely catches attention, stunning piece. Ha! Perhaps the exhibitor should open up the 'Transformer' or Spaceship like DeWitt piece. Thanks for viewing. Kong
Great viewing Kong.
I wonder if I should check it out when it arrives here on the 1st. All for a very worthy cause and kudos to those who participated. Wonder which one will bring the biggest contribution - the PP,RM ? Any guesses? cheers fernando
Think those pieces you mentioned ...
should be the sought after ones. You can see the previous results.... click here . Kong
thanks for the shot
I'll be conservative and take the Patek, and the Vacheron for the wife, thanks. Best Andreas
Nice thought ...
for the wife, Andreas. The Vacheron piece is beautiful, another one is the VCA piece. Kong
The ones I like the most
by far the DeBethune is my favorite, bar none! I really like the GO and the VC in a second tier In some of the others there are elements I like, such as the coloring of the UN The MB&F is fascinating, I don't like it, but I like that they took the risk to...
Another fav...
Debethune is indeed outstanding. I like it too, also a sucker for blue dial. Flying Panda...really cute. Kong
Listing
This is so impressive. I would love to see a numbered listing of make, model and detail. Let's not also reflect on the charitable side of this collection. That is the most impressive.
Link to listing is in the post ...
Hi Bruce3 The link is in the post just before the watch pieces. Please click here to access the details by Antiquorum. Kong
Fascinating timepieces.
I like them all, but if I have to choose........ I would take the 3939, Corum, Ikepod, Laurent Ferrier (not my fav dial, but the movement looks gorgeous to me), Maurice Lacroix, MB & F (Panda included), Piaget (with a different strap), RM027, TAG Monaco, ...
+1 for VCA!
Love the spilled over enamel out to the bezel. Their pieces are just stunning! Kong
all fantastic looking pieces...
and for a good cause. I hope they fetch a good amount for the cause. The RM 27 is the most eye-catching for me... Cheers, GG

kind of unique - VCA. Just like their work, including the jewelery, not to mentioned the Poetic Complications series. The enamel spilling over to bezel is kind of unique...like some high end porcelain with motifs flow over the edge of plates or cups and c...
Thanks for the additional pictures ...
It's a great looking watch. I would be proud to wear that one. Andrew
Thanks for sharing
Since i am born in the year of the Dr@60n i will go with Bovet. Cheers
Oh...
that Dragon piece is beautiful. Seen this piaget.watchprosite.com ? Next year is your YEAR! Kong This message has been edited by Kong on 2011-08-30 21:04:20
Bite size :-)
Hi Grigo See and read up every ten pieces per day. You can spread over four days Kong
Thanks Kong
Thanks Kong for posting these pictures. The one which has surprised me is the RJ as the stone really has some texture to it where in the original pictures it looked flat without any grain... would I buy it... no but it was interesting! For me it has to be...
Strange ...
Hi Andrew Thanks for viewing. The RJ in the catalogue looks nothing like the display piece. For the Oceanographic 4000, I just wonder if Red could be seen well under deep water. Kong
Great summary Kong
What metal is lot 19 the GO in? The Hublot looks like a Concord...perhaps common BNB ancestry. My favourite is the Piaget....something out of the box from them. The VC is my second fav. Best, Horo
First of all. Thank you Kong
for this report my absolute favorite is .... De Bethune Best Damjan P.S. What happened to LOT 17? This message has been edited by Ares501 on 2011-08-31 03:54:30
Hmm ...
Hi Damjan Another vote for De Bethune. Nice. The dial is actually a starlit sky above Monaco on 8 Jan 1297. Kong PS : Lot 17, missed out taking it and another one does not turn out well.
Pitty
for LOT 17 I miss it in collection of your great pictures and yes that gives just another perfect notch to De Bethune
crazy hours on the red dial looks exceptional!
Hardly ever see a red dial, would suit a lady definitely. However, i'm not so sure about the cellphone. lol
Great Post.!!
hello Kong. it's probably THE Best Post i've seen in a long time. ;0))) THANK YOU very much for showing these Rare Birds..! Cheers Tony
Which is/are ...
the piece/s attracted your attention? Thanks for viewing, Tony. Kong
oh. there're a lot that i like
but to just Name a few: * Breguet. Grande Complication. * Corum Golden Bridge. * Glashutte Original. Senator Chronometer. * Laurent Ferrier. * URWERK . UR103 Phoenix. Cheers Tony
At the HK preview.
Didn't want to miss it as it was a one day affair. Popped over after lunch for a quick scan of the pieces. Pls excuse the hastily taken pics. Enjoyed the presentation even though I only spent about 10mins. there. The invite & Wish Price list VC&A VC MB&F ...
Thanks for the Hong Kong Preview pics !
Are those your favourite pieces ? Sure three of them are mine - VCA, VC & de Bethune. Those are pretty good pics for 10 minutes duration. Kong
I missed some others...
like the SS 3939 but by and large these were my favorites. I also had a close look at the HM4 with the panda, quite amusing. Cheers F
That Panda piece...
need to wear short sleeve. Otherwise, the cute Panda might get stuck and break Designed by a Chinese Designer-Huang HanKang from Suzhou. Is it very crowded at the Private Box? Think the 3939 still in the plastic bag. Kong
Not easy to remove the Panda
I am told ... needs special tools. Definitely have to wear it with short sleeves or very loose fitting. Not crowded when I was there at about 2.30. I went with a friend and there was about 2 other guest. Cocktails at 6.00 but I had a previous engagement s...
Ah...
Alas, the PP out of the pack. Great. Very likely to be those 2 pieces will be hotly bidded. Thanks F. Kong
No tools for Flying Panda !
Hi Fernando. Thanks for the report ! No need for any tools to remove and place back the Flying Panda on the HM4 Only watch. All can be done pretty easily with two fingers ! I would suppose that the Antiquorum team were a little nervous to try... Wishing a...
Thanks for clarifying Max!
Good of you to set things straight. Hoping for excellent results on the 23rd. Best Regards, fernando
thank you for sharing.....
i can't get the Hermes and patek out of my head. The harry winston is stunning too! J
