Our care for the hundreds of thousands of patients worldwide and these tangible improvements continue to encourage us to work in this direction. It is my biggest joy to say that Only Watch is the testimony that it is possible to transform the energy of a severe diagnosis of an illness into therapeutic hope for people all around the world, including our courageous son Paul.’, says Luc Pettavino, Founder/Organizer of Only Watch and President of Association Monégasque Contre les Myopathies and Only Watch.

About Only Watch
Since 2005, brands from luxury groups and independent craftsmen have enthusiastically collaborated with Only Watch for a common goal: financing research against Duchenne muscular Dystrophy.
This synergy is supported since day one by HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco and driven by the sincere commitment shown by all CEOs, their teams, and many partners, truly concerned by helping this noble cause. In five editions, Only Watch has enabled the Association Monégasque contre les Myopathies to contribute to significant advances in research over the last 10 years. To this day, scientists and clinicians working on this genetic disease agree that the Exon skipping seems to give the best chance of success. As we approach an important milestone, research units remain hungry for more funds to maintain a fluid flow of process and facilitate progress. Only Watch will continue to make their work easier and allow research to convey hope as well as concrete results.
Only Watch 2015 is organised by Association Monégasque contre les Myopathies, Monaco Yacht Show and Phillips in association with Bacs & Russo.
