At Rétromobile, passion for mechanics goes far beyond bodywork. It can also be found in the finest gears, in the precise tick-tock of a watch movement, and in objects that—much like classic automobiles—tell the story of an era and a vision. It is in this spirit that TIME ON SHOW returns to Rétromobile 2026, for the second consecutive year.

Rétromobile & Time On Show: a natural encounter between two worlds of excellence 

Foundedin 2023 by Pier Luigi Santi, Paolo Borgomanero and Auro Montanari—an iconic figure in the world of collectible watches, known as John Goldberger—TIME ON SHOW was born from a simple conviction:vintage automobiles and fine watch making share the same culture of precision, engineering and heritage. After its debut in Bologna, at the heart of Italy’s legendary Motor Valley, TIME ON SHOW continues its dialogue with the automotive world by taking up residence, for a few days, within Rétromobile.

An ideal setting for this horological gallery, which naturally finds its place along side the greatest names in classic automobiles. Here, watches are not mere objects: they become mechanical witnesses, driven by the same pursuit of performance, aesthetics and transmission as the vehicles on display.

Time On Show: a horological selection worthy of great mechanical masterpieces 

For this new Paris edition, 12 international dealers will gather within the TIME ON SHOW space. Visitors will have the opportunity to discover (and acquire) an exceptionalselection of collectible watches, chosen for their history, rarity and the quality of their movements.

TIME ON SHOW looks forward to welcoming you at Rétromobile 2026*, from 27 January to 1 February 2026, in Hall 7.3 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles.
