Top Marques
ACM – BEHIND THE SCENES
The 12th edition of Monaco’s Top Marques has only began this afternoon and has already marked an attendance record of about 11,000 visitors. For admiring jewelry, boats and above all, exclusive supercars, through 160 exhibitors, journalists, bloggers, youtuber and enthusiasts gathered here from around the world.
BUT WHAT IS IT?
In short, is nothing more than an intimate Motor Show, divided into different sections: the static one, which takes place through the stands of craftsmen of the most diverse and prestigious luxury stuff, whether they are jewelry, watches or any other accessory, while the main pavilion is clearly dedicated to supercars. A quite limited area, the one at the Grimaldi Forum, but that allows visitors to have everything in front of their eyes and especially without those unnecessary digressions, which on bigger occasions, fill the frame of more “mainstream” events.
The most interesting aspect of Top Marques, however, is the dynamic one, that is what some exhibitors offer to those who have real interest in purchasing these vehicles or even simple curiosity. In the “paddock area”, located in Avenue Princesse Grace, there is annual availability of about a dozen cars, that will take you around the busy Monaco, making you experience firsthand the thrill of sitting on board of exclusive cars.
Then, leaving the building, you realize everything that happens around the event that, as in no other occasion, magnets “spotter” from every angle of the globe, hungry for the ultimate shot, immediately ready to upload it on their social profiles.
Again, the glamorous side of MonteCarlo makes everything magical and Sunday, when the show will end, there will only be less traffic, but exotic cars will continue, as always, to drive through the Principality.
