The appointment with VO Vintage, an event open to the public conceived by IEG - Italian Exhibition Group and aimed at all collectors, enthusiasts and the curious of fine vintage watches and jewellery, is back. Scheduled from 20th to 23rd January inside Vicenzaoro (Hall 8.1), and in partnership with our magazine L'Orologio, it will enable those present to purchase unique and valuable pieces, negotiate with the best retailers (35 brands are hosted, including vintage watches and jewellery), attend product presentations and exchange views with the greatest experts in the sector.
A true exchange of knowledge and opinions, extended to four days compared to previous editions, which will be able to avail itself again this year of the valuable contribution of Professor Ugo Pancani, from the FHH - Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie, one of the most accredited realities in the diffusion of excellence in the haut de gamme watchmaking segment in the world, and a member of the GPHG Academy. He will hold the watchmaking course entitled 'The world of auctions and watch collecting. Opportunities and risks', scheduled for Sunday 22 January, from 2.30 pm to 4 pm, and intended for enthusiasts.
