The first annual WatchTime New York watch fair took place this past weekend at Gotham Hall.
This is a prestigious venue that was the perfect setting for luxury watch brands to show off their timepieces to a highly active New York watch enthusiast and collector audience.
Exhibitors included A. Lange & Söhne, Armin Strom, Ball, Bell & Ross, Blancpain, Breguet, Carl F. Bucherer, Emmanuel Bouchet, F.P. Journe, Grand Seiko, MeisterSinger, Moritz Grossmann, Mühle, Nomos Glashutte, Pierre DeRoche, Porsche Design, RGM, Seiko, Tutima, Ulysse Nardin, and Visconti.
During the two-day event, there were a number of lectures and discussions from notable figures in the watch world, such as Jeff Kingston (WatchTime), Joe Thompson (Editor-in-Chief of WatchTime), and Anish Bhatt (Founder of WatchAnish). There were also cocktails and whisky tastings, which added to the positive atmosphere of the show.
In speaking with Sara Orlando (Publisher of WatchTime), and judging from the number of people in attendance, it is safe to say the first year was a success, and next year will be even better.
