ANNUAL WHEEL

The IPR celebrates its 2nd anniversary. The celebrations will take place in the form of a WHEEL, as usual, at the Beau-Séjour Palace in Benfica, Lisbon. We will host two conferences on the clock as an art form and on the creation of a watch brand. At the end of the day, we will have a very special musical performance and a unique watch and magazine fair, featuring only national brands. It's an event not to be missed, which will certainly have the great atmosphere that the WHEEL events have accustomed us to.
