WatchTime New York returns to Gotham Hall on October 16-18, 2026 with a record 48 exhibiting brands, reaffirming its role as North America’s largest collector-focused watch event.
The show leans into what it helped popularize 11 years ago: direct access to watches and the people who make them. In a landscape once guarded by trade-only fairs, WTNY built a floor where collectors can handle the metal, ask hard questions, and meet the watchmakers and executives behind the dials.
This year’s roster adds first-time participants gérald genta and Daniel Roth, alongside Jacob & Co., Kollokium, Keris, Ferdinand Berthoud, Singer, Schwarz Etienne, and KUDOKE. Kudoke is set to debut a new timepiece at the show. Frederique Constant is also confirmed to unveil a new model, with further launches expected on site.
The exhibitor list spans established maisons and independents: Armin Strom, Arnold & Son, Artisans de Genève, Blancpain, Chopard, Chronoswiss, Citizen, Czapek, Fears, Fortis, Glashütte Original, H. Moser & Cie., Laurent Ferrier, Louis Erard, L.Leroy, Massena LAB, MB&F, Ming, Moritz Grossmann, Norqain, Oris, Parmigiani Fleurier, Perrelet, Piaget, Ressence, RGM, Sarpaneva, Ulysse Nardin, Urwerk, Voutilainen, Zeitwinkel, Zenith, and more.
Tickets: Friday night VIP packages are sold out, including the VIP plus dinner option. Single-day admission remains available online for Saturday or Sunday at $50.
Schedule and venue: Friday VIP opening 5:30-8:30 p.m. with a limited-capacity dinner to follow. Saturday runs 11:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.; Sunday 11:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. Location is Gotham Hall, 1356 Broadway, New York, NY.
Expect panel discussions, brand presentations, hands-on product discovery, tastings, and a dense concentration of independent watchmaking. For collectors, it is a rare chance to compare finishing, architecture, and intent across the aisle rather than across a screen. Bring curiosity and maybe a loupe. Leave the hype at the door.
