Three days for the gold and jewellery industry’s re-start in the world. Live. IEG - Italian Exhibition Group with Vicenzaoro announces VOICE - Vicenzaoro International Community Event, an extraordinary format to be staged at Vicenza’s Expo Centre and within the territory, from Saturday 12th to Monday 14th September. In a season where the sector’s trade shows have been deeply affected, all either postponed or cancelled, IEG is launching an event that comes from listening to companies, their willingness to resume trade show activities and relations with the national and international supply chain community.
VOICE will be a Summit where the Community will discuss the state of the industry and the upcoming challenges with opinion leaders: themes will include Sustainability, Trend & Design, Innovation & Technology with institutional moments and technical talks as well as content amplified by the main global trade media, bloggers and influencers in Made in Italy’s strategic markets.
Events will unfold in several areas of Vicenza’s Expo Centre and cutting-edge integration with the most sophisticated television broadcasting systems and digital instrumentation will ensure that all the talks and seminars will be live online and also viewable in streaming on Youtube, Instagram and FB to be available all over the world.
VOICE will also be one big showroom where supply chain companies will be able to present their new collections, the latest design trends and most contemporary procedure and processing innovations.
An elegant and essential context will welcome the buyers physically participating in the event while a «Buyer Virtual Room» will be set up for those from countries with difficulties in travelling to Italy: meetings scheduled by exhibitors and buyers themselves through the I-MOP, IEG’s Meeting Omnichannel Platform.
The VOICE event, with all its participants, will experience and enjoy the spectacular artistic setting of Vicenza city with VIOFF, Vicenzaoro’s Off Show event, this time entitled “THE NEW GOLDEN WAY”.

Ulysse Nardin has introduced a new powerful ambassador of the Oceans. The female great white shark named “Andromache” by Ulysse Nardin, reminds us all of the immediate necessity to study and protect the great white sharks. As predators at the top of the food chain, they regulate the ocean’s ecosystem and ensure its equilibrium and abundance. The data-centric research provided by OCEARCH also benefits to medical research opening new opportunities for our health and sustainability. In mythology, Andromache symbolizes female strength and courage and today she will stand for  Ulysse Nardin's and OCEARCH's mision to preserve the species and their commitment to sustaining the ecosystem of the world's oceans.

The TUDOR collection has a selection of models that celebrate the brand's memorable heritage as a supplier of divers' watches to some of the largest navies in the world over the past six decades. This story dates back to the mid-1950s: 1954, to be precise. That was the year that TUDOR presented its first divers' watch, reference 7922, one of the first professional instruments aimed specifically at this emerging discipline. TUDOR's typical combination of a robust, technical product, positioned at an accessible price, made this divers' watch the ideal option for any organisation carrying out large-scale underwater activities. Today, the TUDOR collection comprises a number of references whose aesthetics allude to this heritage, with models either directly inspired by divers' watches famously used by military divers, or presenting an allegory of life at sea.

The new Montblanc Star Legacy Exo Tourbillon Skeleton Limited Edition 8 has been completely reinterpreted to feature a refined fully-skeletonized, three-dimensional movement bringing a new level of suspension to the timepiece.  In keeping with the purest horological traditions, the 188 components of the Manufacture Calibre MB M18.69 are entirely hand-decorated by expert craftsmen and women using artisanal finishings such as circular graining, mirror-polishing, and beveling. In addition, the movement also counts 420 inner angles that require expertise and passion to complete.

Launching in September 2020, the new variants are the second phase of the three-tiered launch and is exclusively comprised of diamond-intensive, 18K yellow and white gold styles. Described as powerfully feminine with an effortless ease, the ground-breaking designs are intended to be worn and become part of your signature style. The Tiffany T1 collection combines clean lines and graphic forms with new elegantly angular and feminine proportions, and is timelessly elevated with expertly set diamonds. Encircling the wrist, finger or neck, the reimagined ‘T’ motif forms an unbroken circle that represents individual strength and self-empowerment.

The new Traversetolo flaunts an original look of intense green with a black reflection, a colour that is as sober as it is unusual.  The green colour, always a symbol of hope, rebirth and force of nature, was not chosen by chance. "Hope" is an invitation to live this moment with confidence and courage, so that hope is transformed into strength and the challenge that awaits us all can be overcome. Enriched with the “soleil” finish that brings depth to the dial, the new proposal has elegant applied indexes and the characteristic running seconds counter that intersects with the minutes train complete the elegant, unmistakable look. Traversetolo comes in a closed caseback version and in a “Vitré” variant that enables the movement to be seen through the sapphire glass caseback.
