A HUB FOR CONTEMPORARY WATCHMAKING
Vicenzaoro September 2023, hosted by the Italian Exhibition Group (IEG), is set to become the epicenter of contemporary watchmaking and its supply chain.
Scheduled from 8th to 12th September, this internationally renowned exhibition, which has been uniting the gold and jewelry supply chain for nearly seven decades, is expanding its horizons.
This year, the spotlight shines brightly on the TIME community, a hub dedicated to multi-channel watchmaking distribution.
With over 40 watch brands participating, including emerging micro-brands, private label, and accessory manufacturers, the TIME community is making strides in solidifying its position in the B2B realm at Vicenzaoro – the Jewellery Boutique Show, the premier European event for the industry.
Located in Hall 1 of the Vicenza Expo Centre in Italy, the TIME area boasts the presence of distinguished Italian watch brands like Locman and U-Boat, as well as esteemed German brands including Mühle-Glashütte and Junghans.
Alongside these, emerging brands, Italian micro-brands, and promising startups, meticulously curated by Watches of Italy, will be on display. Among them are Venezianico, Out of Order, Fathers, Herbelin from France, and the emerging Bomberg from Switzerland. The exhibit will be rounded out with new offerings from established and lesser-known brands in B2B distribution, private label, and accessory manufacturing, with Wolf among the notable participants.
This growing TIME community, now in its second edition, underscores the progress of IEG’s B2B initiative in watchmaking. It provides a unique opportunity for the market, particularly international and Italian buyers and distributors, to explore the latest trends and innovations in the wristwatch industry. These innovations will ultimately find their way into the world’s premier retail outlets.
Vicenzaoro September 2023 has become a pivotal event on IEG’s watch calendar, catering to the diverse needs of the timepiece industry. It encompasses two experiential B2C formats focusing on watchmaking culture: VO’Clock Privé, open to enthusiasts and collectors from 8th to 10th September in conjunction with Vicenzaoro, and VO Vintage, dedicated to vintage watches and jewelry.
As the stage is set for Vicenzaoro September 2023, the global watchmaking community eagerly anticipates this dynamic platform where innovation, tradition, and craftsmanship converge.
