Every industrious watchmaker has laid its eyes on the Only Watch auction, as if it’s a new standard of the finest craftsmanship. Well, they could not be more correct. And the latest brand after Corum to enter the celebrated event is none other than Bovet with a stunningly designed timepiece. Kudos to all these fellas for doing so much in the name of charity.

The case is 42mm wide and has been made in 18K rose gold. The hand-craved Feurisanne engraving on the flanks, the lugs and on the signature Bovet curved bow is picturesque.
