The Event
Since 2004, Top Marques Monaco has been the world's most exclusive celebration of engineering mastery, design excellence, and mechanical innovation, held under the high patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco. In its 21st edition at the Grimaldi Forum, alongside 180+ supercars, classic cars, motorbikes, and boats representing the pinnacle of human ingenuity, Van Bergen 1795 joins an elite group of luxury exhibitors chosen for exceptional craftsmanship and vision — making its global debut among Bugattis, McLarens, Bentleys, and the world's most discerning collectors.
The Heero Collection will be presented in its entirety within a dedicated Van Bergen 1795 space in the watch pavilion. Every detail, every complication, every note of the sonnerie au passage — revealed exclusively to those who understand that mechanical mastery takes many forms. This is where collectors who appreciate precision in all its expressions, from V12 engines to minute repeaters, discover what excellence sounds like.
Baron Juchter van Bergen Quast, Erik Meijer, and Daniel van Ree will be present throughout to personally guide guests through the collection. Private previews are available by appointment for qualified clients and press.

Van Bergen 1795 — World Première

A Singular Honour
The first Van Bergen watch ever to leave the atelier will not enter commerce. It will be presented to H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco — a Pièce Unique bearing no collector number, created as a tribute to the Principality that has given Van Bergen 1795 its world stage.
Top Marques Monaco has been held under the Prince's high patronage since its founding in 2004. That same spirit of precision, ambition, and the pursuit of the extraordinary that defines Monaco defines everything Van Bergen 1795 was built to express. It is the most fitting home for our first note.
Benefiting the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation
Of the fifty titanium examples constituting the Monaco Special Edition, one stands apart from all others. This Pièce Unique — bearing no collector number — was created specifically for this occasion: to be presented to the world in Monaco, and then offered at charity auction in support of the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation.
The Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation was established by H.S.H. Princess Charlene to teach water safety and swimming to children across the world — driven by the conviction that no child should drown for lack of knowledge.
Van Bergen 1795 shares with the Foundation a belief that the greatest legacies are built not on wealth alone, but on stewardship: of craft, of knowledge, of life itself. Fifteen percent of all Monaco Special Edition net sales are additionally donated to the Foundation.
Monaco Special Edition · Titanium Grade-5
The Monaco Special Edition — 50 titanium Grade-5 examples — is exclusive to the Monaco launch. Each carries the world-record gong, the sonnerie au passage complication, and the 2.5 mm ultra-thin manufacture calibre. Water resistance is deliberately limited to 30 metres: greater depth pressure would compress the acoustic chamber, silencing the gong. This is not a compromise — it is a declaration.
The complete Heero Collection — every angle of the case, every dial variant, the movement in full, and the world-record gong architecture that defines the Calibre VBA01 — will be unveiled at the Monaco world première on 6 May 2026. The sonnerie au passage will be heard for the first time in public. Register below for advance access and priority preview scheduling.
After Monaco
The Monaco world première marks the opening act. Three weeks later, Van Bergen 1795 crosses the Atlantic for the first time — arriving in Las Vegas with something new to say.
Wynn Las Vegas · 27–31 May 2026
The Heero Collection continues its world début at COUTURE Las Vegas, 27–31 May 2026, at the Wynn. And with it, Van Bergen 1795 introduces its next chapter — a collector's series rooted in the most powerful industrial legacy in American history. Five names. Five editions. One story that has never been told in horology. Las Vegas will be the first to hear it.
