2022 LONDON CONCOURS
On behalf of the organising team at Thorough Events and our lead partner, Montres Breguet, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you here at the headquarters of the Honourable Artillery Company. Over the past ten months our Steering Committee has worked tirelessly to curate a display of privately owned cars, presented in unique classes and exciting features. Led by Chair of the Steering Committee, Peter Read, they are a tour de force – and this year are responsible for the 80-plus fabulous models you see on the lawns. To the owners of these cars, thank you for agreeing to share your pride and joy with us for the three days. I wish you every success with the Concours, and hope that you have a fabulous time with us. During your visit, be sure to check in at the Main Stage, where throughout each day a lively programme of Concours-related content will be presented by our expert compères Peter Wallman and Richard Charlesworth. You’ll also see the pair on the lawns at times, talking about specific cars on display. Building on the success of 2021’s event, we have developed a supercar focus on Thursday which will see up to 40 members of the Drivers Union join us in a spectacular finale to the event. Finally, I would like to express my appreciation to our commercial partners for their support this year. I hope the London Concours is an enormous success for all concerned, and that you have a wonderful time. It is a privilege to have you here.
Breguet is a proud partner of the London Concours, and is delighted to once again be in the prestigious setting of the Honourable Artillery Company. The London Concours, which brings together more than 80 exceptional cars from all over the world, shares the same passion for excellence and precision as the Manufacture Breguet. Since the House was founded by A-L Breguet in 1775 the brand has never ceased to innovate, and it continues to build the watchmaking of tomorrow. Generation after generation, and thanks to its reputation, the Manufacture has also collaborated with various industries including the automotive industry. During this prestigious event, visitors will have the pleasure to view a rare, recently acquired Breguet Diablo dashboard clock, created for a limited series of Lamborghini cars sold in the 1990s. Furthermore, we are delighted to present our various timepieces, which showcase the know-how and heritage of our Manufacture located in the Vallée de Joux, Switzerland. The new Tradition Tourbillon with fusée-chain 7047, a tribute to the creation of the tourbillon by our founder more than 220 years ago, is unveiled exclusively at the London Concours. Visitors will also be able to discover the Tradition Quantième Rétrograde 7597. Obviously, our other iconic collections like the Reine de Naples and the Marine will be present to highlight the diversity of complications signed by Breguet. We look forward to sharing our passion for precision and innovation with you.
