In Newport Beach, California, starting today, The 1916 Company kicks off its Annual Watch Fair, which now includes four cities.

For 2025, The 1916 Company Watch Fair will feature exclusive cocktail evenings, hands-on access with 2025 novelties, rare pre-owned timepieces, appearances by leading voices in collecting culture, and educational moments designed for its Collector’s Circle.

You’re Invited to Stop By

In each city, The 1916 Company Watch Fair is hosted at the company’s flagship multi-brand stores, which are all Official Rolex Jewelers, located in Newport Beach, CA (September 26-27), Denver, CO (October 10-11), Scottsdale, AZ (October 24-25), and Ardmore, PA (November 14-15).

A National Stage for Collecting Culture

“This year’s Watch Fair moves beyond a regional tradition to become a national stage for watch culture and collecting. Each city will host its own distinctive mix of brands, boutique experiences, and Collector’s Circle gatherings, offering clients and enthusiasts the opportunity to experience 2025’s most talked-about timepieces up close. Notable highlights from the brands’ 2025 collections will be presented in store, including a special selection from leading independent watchmakers such as De Bethune, Gérald Genta, Greubel Forsey, H. Moser & Cie., and Ressence, with brand representation and watch experts on-site throughout the event,” according to an official release by The 1916 Company.
