On 4th October 2023, the global watch industry was riveted by a social media post shared by Santa Laura, one of the most prominent watch collectors in the world. He posted an open criticism of Only Watch and how the charity organization had fallen short in terms of financial transparency.
This came just a little over a month before the 2023 Only Watch auction was set to put a record 62 unique watches under the hammer.
This prompted Only Watch to look more closely at the matter and the organization released a letter to the watch industry dated 8th October, sharing a financial overview, its accounting audit and legal obligations, and the corporate structure of SQY Therapeutics.
Following which, parent organization AMM (Association Monégasque contre les Myopathies) announced the appointment of a well-known Monaco auditor and partner of KPMG Monaco, Bettina Ragazzoni, as its official auditor. Ms Ragazzoni is also General Treasurer of the Monegasque Red Cross and plays a similar role for the Yacht Club de Monaco.
Both institutions are chaired by Prince Albert of Monaco and managed by members of his family.
On 17th April, the charity organization made a statement on Instagram, saying, “We are grateful for all who have enabled the AMM/Only Project to have the impact it does in financing fundamental and applied research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy and related genetic diseases. This 10th edition comes at a crucial moment; funds raised will enable new milestones in clinical developments and provide support for tens of new research projects on myopathies and genetic diseases and create hope for thousands of patients and their families.”
