Completely agree that Only watch is both exciting and frustrating
at the same time. It is obviously a great cause, and it is great to see what the participating companies come up with. Some really go all out while some do something relatively simple like changing the case material or color of the dial of an existing model. It is frustrating when there is something offered that is really spectacular, but as you reported, can only be had by one collector. Thank goodness there are new products coming out every year to quickly distract from the disappointment of not being able to own a unique piece 
Great article.

Why the Only Watch is a Cruel Display For PuristS

Something like this perhaps, would get you in the bidding mood?

Not sure if Art would be able to take this one off, lol

Thanks Stewart
Yes brands are good with constantly keeping the watch community intrigued. Do you have a favorite unique piece?
Every year there is one that catches my eye
but, this year there are so many great entries. For me, the fact there is one does not drive me. I would not care if there were 1000. I just fall in love with some of these designs Ping, one you u did not post is thIs one| This one, the Kari piece and the...

I like the Zenith and FP Journe the most
The Zenith has a nice color combo which works very well in my eyes, and the shiny blue dial of the FPJ is awesome. Interesting article! Cheers, Anthony
Several days after their presentation, I think my taste evolved
and that the Vacheron Constantin is now the one I would love to see the most. Well, the eternal question of the rare collectible objects is still open and still a current matter. But I would say I'm more attracted and excited by a watch which answers to m...
