WELCOME TO THE 2023 LONDON CONCOURS

On behalf of the organising team at Thorough Events and our presenting partner, Montres Breguet, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you here at the Honourable Artillery Company. As we open our seventh edition of the Concours, it seems extraordinary how far we have come – but none of this would be possible without the help of our sponsors and supporting partners. Thank you to everyone involved this year.

The Concours this week sees a record number of privately owned cars joining the line-up; 85 in all. Additionally, we’re hosting a further 40 examples of the Porsche RS on Wednesday and 50 supercars on Thursday for one-day features. To the owners of these cars, thank you for agreeing to share your pride and joy with us.

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 the day a lively programme of content will be presented by our expert compères, Peter Wallman and Richard Charlesworth, as well as a number of very special guests.

Enjoy the show, our cars, our feature displays and everything that this fabulous venue has to offer us over the three days. Thank you for coming – I sincerely hope you have a memorable and rewarding time with us at the Honourable Artillery Company headquarters.

ANDREW EVANS CONCOURS DIRECTOR

We are delighted to be back in the prestigious setting of the Honourable Artillery Company once again as the presenting partner of the London Concours. Our long-standing partnership is deeply rooted in a shared appreciation for impeccable aesthetics and mechanical excellence. Those who appreciate the beauty of a mechanical object will undoubtedly be able to see the parallels between Breguet and the automotive world.

The House of Breguet, founded in 1775, combines technical prowess with timeless elegance, which attracted a number of distinguished patrons, who honoured Abraham Louis Breguet as one of the greatest watchmakers of all time. His dedication to mechanical excellence led him to develop an abundance of innovations, including the self-winding watch and the tourbillon. Since then, the Manufacture never ceased to innovate, and it continues to build the watchmaking of tomorrow.

Visitors to the 2023 London Concours will have the opportunity to discover the brand’s various collections, such as the Classique, Reine de Naples and Marine, all made by hand in our Manufacture in Vallée de Joux in Switzerland. Additionally, the presence of a watchmaker will give you the chance to discover Breguet movements in more detail.

We look forward to welcoming guests of the London Concours, and sharing our passion for precision and innovation, at what is set to be another fantastic year for the event.
