rom October 22 to 25, 2026, TIME ON SHOW returns to Bologna, as part of Auto e Moto d’Epoca, for a new edition dedicated to rare, vintage and collectible watches.

Born in Bologna in 2023, right inside Auto e Moto d’Epoca, TIME ON SHOW has grown rapidly, evolving from an Italian event into an increasingly international format, bringing the culture of watch collecting to some of the world’s most important settings dedicated to luxury, collecting and automotive culture. Following its first edition in 2023, TIME ON SHOW returned to Bologna in 2024.

2025 marked an important turning point, with its first participation in Paris as part of Rétromobile, followed by its return to its original home in Bologna.

In 2026, the project returned to Paris for its second participation in Rétromobile, before moving on to Lake Como in conjunction with the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, bringing the world of collectible watches to one of the most iconic and prestigious destinations in the world for automotive culture and luxury.

Now, in October 2026, TIME ON SHOW returns to its hometown of Bologna, the place where the project was born.

But the journey does not stop here. In November 2026, TIME ON SHOW will cross the Atlantic and arrive in New York, as part of Rétromobile, marking another significant milestone in its international expansion.

This evolution reflects the very nature of TIME ON SHOW: a project born in Italy but conceived from the outset with an international vision. The format brings together dealers, experts, collectors and enthusiasts through exhibitions, meetings, talks and special activations, creating a meeting point between fine watchmaking, historic automobiles, luxury and collecting.

The project was conceived by Pier Luigi Santi, an entrepreneur with extensive experience in the events industry, together with the inspirational minds of Paolo Borgomanero, a prominent figure in the Italian luxury world, and Auro Montanari, internationally known as John Goldberger and regarded as one of the world’s most authoritative watch collectors and experts.

Adding to the appeal of TIME ON SHOW is its partnership with Riva Classiche, which brings to the event the elegance and charm of the Riva Lounge, Riva Boutique and an iconic Riva motorboat. The project is further enhanced by its collaboration with Monaco Legend Group, one of the leading international auction houses specializing in collectible watches, headed by President and Shareholder Davide Parmegiani.

From its origins in Bologna to its international experiences in Paris, Lake Como and New York, TIME ON SHOW is building a new way of presenting and experiencing the world of collectible watches, connecting it with other worlds that share the same values and audience.

A journey built around rarity, research, authenticity and a culture of attention to detail, with the aim of creating a truly international network dedicated to the passion for watches and collecting.
