Classic Cars will be in the spotlight this year, with renowned exhibitors such as FastNClassic Garage, Boutsen Classic Cars, Kiaba Anton, Garage Dayraut, Antunes Automobiles, DPM Motors, RM Autosport, Fiat 500 Classic.com and Top Classics presenting iconic classic cars and rare models. These brands will offer some of the most collectible classic cars, with unique models that will delight historic car enthusiasts.

Since its inception, the “Classic Cars” section has gone from strength to strength, captivating a public increasingly passionate about vintage cars and the world they represent. In 2024, the event brought together over 70 exceptional vintage vehicles, covering a period from the 1950s to the 2000s. Among the models on display were such legendary cars as the Ferrari Enzo, Porsche Carrera GT, McLaren P1, Lamborghini Miura and a rare Porsche 906 from 1966. The presence of these automotive legends drew a wide range of visitors, from informed collectors to the simply curious, all seduced by the elegance and authenticity of these cars.

In addition to exhibitors specializing in classic cars, leading industry figures such as Thierry Boutsen of Boutsen Classic Car and Raul Marchisio of RM Autosport have contributed to the event’s success. These classic car experts offer a hand-picked selection, and it’s not uncommon for an exceptional model to find its new owner directly at the show.

In addition, the Collection de voitures de S.A.S. le Prince de Monaco, in partnership with the Musée National de l’Automobile de Mulhouse, will be showcasing historic models. With a focus on Peugeot, they will be exhibiting three iconic models, including Sébastien Loeb’s Peugeot 2008 from the 2016 Dakar Rally and a Peugeot F1 co-driven by Martin Brundle, a first for this collection.

While the future of the automotive industry will undoubtedly continue to focus on electric and autonomous vehicles, classic cars represent another kind of luxury, one deeply rooted in history and craftsmanship.

The 20th edition of Top Marques Monaco promises to be an exceptional event for enthusiasts of exceptional watches and jewellery. Among this year’s exhibitors, prestigious brands such as C.C.

Since 2004, Top Marques has been the benchmark show for luxury car enthusiasts.

This year, the space dedicated to watches and jewellery has doubled in size, enabling the show to become a veritable crossroads of refinement, attracting a demanding clientele in search of original creations. Here you can discover exceptional creations byAstrea London, Ilona Orel, Infinity Jewels, Sandra Berete, Terzihan, Helfer Genève, and Gérald Bemon, while exploring the originality of Dalibor Farny, making his first appearance at the show.

Top Marques Monaco offers a unique sensory experience, where the world of haute horlogerie and jewelry mingles with that of supercars, in a setting of absolute luxury.

We’re inviting young designers to shape the future of space exploration with an exciting art competition to imagine the lunar vehicle of tomorrow, in partnership with the Direction de l’Éducation Nationale de la Jeunesse et des Sports and Venturi.

During the previous edition of Top Marques Monaco, the Grimaldi Forum Monaco was transformed thanks to the expertise of Cauchi Design. Under the direction of Christian Cauchi, the team created unique installations, integrating custom carports and platforms with integrated LEDs, bringing a modern and refined touch to the event.

These sober, contemporary creations breathed new life into Top Marques Monaco, combining design, innovation and functionality. They enriched the overall atmosphere of the event, helping to make this edition a memorable one.

With over 20 years’ experience, Cauchi Design is renowned for its expertise in designing and manufacturing customized exterior solutions to meet the specific needs of each project. The team stands out for its ability to combine aesthetics and durability in its creations, while remaining true to values of creativity and precision.

Their creations include elegant, hard-wearing aluminum carports, as well as carspots that provide an original, well-kept setting for vehicle displays, as was the case for the stand of Laffite Automobili and Top Marques ambassador, automotive influencer GMK.

Each project is designed with high-quality materials, embodying Cauchi Design’s values of sustainability and innovation.

Top Marques Monaco remains the ultimate meeting place for innovation, design and excellence. Cauchi Design’s contribution perfectly complemented the visual and practical experience of this 2024 edition, and we extend our sincerest thanks to them for their exceptional presence and participation.

Top Marques Monaco’s main sponsor, zondacrypto, has made another bold move in the Principality. After its impactful presence at the 2024 edition of Top Marques and its partnership with the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation, zondacrypto celebrated a major event last month: the launch of its ZND Token, right in the heart of Monaco.

The grand Crypto Forum Gala, with former Italian footballer Giorgio Chiellini as official ambassador, took place at the end of October at the Private Car Collection of H.S.H. the Prince of Monaco.

– “The token launch exceeded our expectations, and the token’s value immediately doubled right from the start. What’s more, just after ZND was listed, we had the first confirmations of confidence in our project, with the first customer making a token purchase worth around 250,000 EUR. Thank you all for your confidence. This is no ordinary token. It is a symbol of the commitment of our community and the hard work of many people, which will drive us to achieve more and constant development,” says Przemysław Kral, CEO of zondacrypto.

The ZND token, launched on October 24, is the native token of the zondacrypto ecosystem, the ZND platform and its foundation. Its usefulness enables holders to reap benefits in loyalty and affiliate programs, high-yield staking, as well as access to premium subscription models as part of the Earn service.

Distinguished guests in a princely entourage

The Crypto Forum gala at the Private Car Collection of H.S.H. the Prince of Monaco was a truly international event, with hundreds of guests, including Giorgio Chiellini, ATP tennis player Hubert Hurkacz and the presidents of Italian sports clubs sponsored by zondacrypto such as Juventus FC, Bologna FC, and Parma Calcio 1913.

New cooperation: AS Monaco and the star team of the Tour de France

Several exciting new collaborations were unveiled during the gala, including a partnership with AS Monaco, which has appointed zondacrypto as the new host of its Salon d’Honneur. In addition, it was announced that zondacrypto would become a partner of the world-renowned women’s cycling team, which will compete under the name CANYON//SRAM zondacrypto Racing from 2025. This team will include Katarzyna Niewiadoma, the reigning Tour de France Women’s Champion with Zwift, giving the team a new dimension on the international stage.

Nearly EUR 70,000 raised for the Foundation!

A charity auction also took place during the evening to benefit the statutory objectives of the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation. zondacrypto and its guests raised 67,000 EUR by bidding on items donated by sports ambassadors and organizations collaborating with the leading crypto exchange platform in Central and Eastern Europe. Among the items up for auction were VIP tickets for the VIP opening cocktail party of Top Marques Monaco 2025.
