Cars and watches often go hand in hand, just think of Chopard with the Mille Miglia, Tag Heuer with Formula 1 and Eberhard & Co. with RallyLegend, to name but a few examples. This is probably what Pier Luigi Santi must have been thinking about when he decided to organise the 'Time on Show' event at the Auto e Moto d'Epoca exhibition in Bologna.
The event was held at BolognaFiere, in the gallery hall between pavilions 25 and 26, from 26 to 29 October, as part of Auto e Moto d'Epoca, a landmark event dedicated to vintage cars and motorbikes that, on the occasion of its 40th edition, moved from Padua to Bologna.
And the success was immediate: more than 5,000 visitors registered to access the area reserved for the stands of the 14 exhibitors, carefully selected by the committee composed of Paolo Borgomanero, Auro Montanari (known as John Goldberger) and Davide Parmegiani, chairman and shareholder of 'Monaco Legend Group', a major auction house specialising in collectors' watches.
On display (and for sale for the luck of the most discerning collectors), important and very rare pieces from the best international brands, both current and vintage. Timepieces that are now easy to see only at the most important auctions around the world. Also available to guests and visitors is a lounge by Riva, the famous nautical brand of the Ferretti Group.
