Organized by the Italian Exhibition Group in collaboration with Vicenzaoro September, this free-to-attend event promises an immersive experience from September 6th to 8th at the Vicenza Expo Centre.

Spanning three captivating exhibition areas across the first floor foyer, VO'Clock Privé invites visitors to explore the diverse facets of horology. The event showcases the pinnacle of craftsmanship in the 'Manifatture' (Manufacture) area, featuring exquisite timepieces from prestigious brands such as Zenith, Speake Marin, Franck Muller, Frederique Constant, and Wyler Vetta. Complementing these established names are unique creations by independent artisans from the Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants (AHCI) in Geneva, including Vincent Calabrese, Seryn Watches, Lederer Timepieces, and more.

For those intrigued by innovation, the 'Avanguardie' (Avantgarde) section introduces emerging brands like Furlan Marri and Inceptum, alongside newcomers such as Leica, renowned for its photographic excellence and now venturing into watchmaking with a new collection.

Beyond the exhibits, VO'Clock Privé offers a robust program designed to enrich visitors' understanding of watchmaking. The 'Dialoghi' (Dialogues) area hosts technical talks and discussions with industry experts, supported by forums like Watchouse and magazines such as L'Orologio, Watch Insanity, and Revolution Italia. Advanced training sessions, led by Ugo Pancani of FHH - Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie, provide deeper insights into the art and science behind timekeeping.

For hands-on enthusiasts, the 'Esperienze' (Experiences) area, in collaboration with Bergeon, showcases interactive demonstrations and presentations. Here, attendees can witness intricate watch components up close through microscopes and high-definition screens, guided by master craftsmen.

"VO'Clock Privé is not just an exhibition; it's a celebration of watchmaking culture and innovation," remarked a spokesperson from Italian Exhibition Group. "It's a platform where history meets contemporary creativity, offering a glimpse into the future of timekeeping."
