WatchTime New York, North America’s most prestigious public watch collector event, returns to Manhattan’s iconic Gotham Hall this autumn to mark its milestone 10th anniversary on October 17th–19th, 2025.
This landmark edition of the long-running watch collector show promises the largest and most dynamic WatchTime New York event to date, featuring a record-breaking 42 luxury watch brands exhibiting their latest timepieces, novelties, and rare horological creations to collectors and enthusiasts in the heart of New York City, over the course of three days.
“This year’s WatchTime New York event brings together more watch brands, and more new watches, than ever before,” said Roger Ruegger, Editor-in-Chief of WatchTime. “Collectors can expect an incredible range of discoveries, from world premieres to rare independents, all in one place.”
Produced by leading consumer watch collector media platform WatchTime, WatchTime New York continues to serve as a unique forum that directly connects enthusiasts, industry professionals, brand executives, and leading watchmakers in an immersive and memorable setting.
Consumers
The event’s groundbreaking consumer-facing format united brands and buyers face-to-face for the first time, forever reshaping the way buyers engage with luxury watch brands. A decade on, WatchTime New York has evolved into a globally significant collector destination, now the anchor event of New York City’s unofficial Watch Week, and inspiring countless spin-off watch-centric events throughout the month of October.
The event will reprise its popular expanded three-day format, kicking off with its much-anticipated Friday evening cocktail party, followed by two days of exhibition, activations, exclusive whiskey and wine tastings, and more.
To commemorate the 10-year milestone, WatchTime New York is introducing a brand-new event experience: the WatchTime New York 10th Anniversary Dinner, an exclusive, ticketed seated dinner held on the mezzanine level of Gotham Hall on Friday, October 17, 2025, immediately following the show’s annual opening Night VIP cocktail reception. The show will roll out a red carpet to welcome a host of distinguished special guests.
Beginning at 8:30 PM, select ticketed guests for the seated dinner will enjoy a curated three-course dinner with wine pairings, served alongside fellow collectors, watchmakers, brand executives, and WatchTime editors. Seating is extremely limited, and the dinner is already nearly at capacity.
According to Sara Orlando, WatchTime Publisher, “We set out to bring collectors and brands together. Ten years in, our team is so proud to have achieved that mission and so much more. WatchTime New York has become a cornerstone of New York City’s cultural calendar and a global destination for the watch community.”
