Concours d'Elégance

A Sunday Garden Party at Suvretta House!

Following last year’s dazzling Billionaire Edition, the spotlight in 2026 turns to an equally style-defining theme: Tennis. In true Wimbledon spirit, the Concours d’Élégance of the 32nd BCCM St. Moritz on Sunday, 12 July 2026, will become the social highlight of the weekend – an elegant Sunday Garden Party in the gardens of the Suvretta House, surrounded by classic automobiles, refined style and a touch of summer lightness. Amidst Grand-Hotel charm, lush greenery and crisp Engadin air, guests are invited to linger, enjoy Pimm’s and Strawberries & Cream, and admire the automotive beauties up close. Recommended dress code: White, Wimbledon Style or a refined Tennis Court look. The Swiss Highland Pipers will provide the musical backdrop to this elegant occasion.

The trophy was conceived by Andreas Thurner, Carl Gustav Magnusson and Shuyu Li.

Special awards

Ian Cameron Trophy*
Best dressed team
Next generation award

* The Ian Cameron Trophy is awarded by the BCCM in honour of an exceptional individual who has contributed greatly to the event over many years: Ian Cameron — a designer, a passionate classic car enthusiast, and a long-standing BCCM judge. Each year, the prize is awarded to the car and team that the BCCM jury, chaired by Marco Makaus, believes Ian would have liked best. The judges are looking for elegant vehicles that do without exaggerated details or flashy 'look-at-me' effects. Unusual or unexpected models that stand out from the typical concours vehicle also have a chance, as do cars that combine innovative ideas with their brand's heritage. The process is deliberately subjective and is intended above all to honour the spirit of Ian. The Ian Cameron Trophy embodies warmth and elegance. Its form is reminiscent of a tuning fork — a tribute to a central source of inspiration in Ian Cameron’s design philosophy and creative vision. Its design is based on a 1960 work by Austrian sculptor Erwin Hauer, renowned for his flowing, ornamental geometries, and was selected and interpreted for the trophy by BCCM jury members and designers Carl Gustav Magnusson and Andreas Thurner.
