A Worthy Houstonian Encore: WatchTime and Zadok Jewelers' Second Collectors' Event (Photo Recap)
Last Friday, WatchTime and Houston-based Zadok Jewelers hosted their second collectors' event in the family's stunning two-floor boutique. Over 200 collectors and enthusiasts benefitted from the opportunity to not only mingle with the teams of the two companies, but obviously also see some of the newest, rarest and most-sought after watches from the participating brands, namely A. Lange & Söhne, Bell & Ross, Breguet, Bulgari, Cartier, Grand Seiko, Hublot, IWC Schaffhausen, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Montblanc, Panerai, Piaget, Roger Dubuis, TAG Heuer, Tudor, Ulysse Nardin and Vacheron Constantin.
Bell & Ross, for example, had already brought the new BR-X5 Racing to Houston (which was just released in the morning of that day), and both the Presidents of Americas from Breguet's (Ahmad Shariar), Roger Dubuis (Laurent Toinet) and Ulysse Nardin's (François-Xavier Hotier) made sure to personally meet the collectors and show them their brand's highlights.
On top of that, Cartier brought champagne, Jaeger-LeCoultre a Gyrotourbillon, IWC the Portugieser Eternal Calendar, and Piaget the Altiplano Ultimate Concept, to just name a few of the many highlights the attending guests were able to see up close. Speaking of guest appearance: the event also offered the chance to match WatchTime's current cover of the anniversary issue with the actual Bulgari Aluminium GMT on site.
Last but not least, guests were given the WatchTime passport which could be entered at the end of the evening in a raffle with the chance to win a Montblanc JFK special edition fountain pen and a Wolf watch winder.
Check out the photo recap above, and huge thanks to everyone for the making this second event with Zadok as memorable as the one from 2023.
Family Time
Having immigrated to Houston in 1975 with "only three suitcases and a baby [Jonathan], Dror and Helena Zadok started the family's business with a 1,200-square feet jewelry store on Post Oak Boulevard. Their three sons [Segev, Gilad and Jonathan], all GIA-certified gemologists, have all joined the business and helped grow the business significantly, representing the seventh generation with industry experience. Three years ago, Zadok built a new two-level store on 1801 Post Oak Boulevard to better serve collectors based in the U.S. and visiting from abroad. Helena Zadok: "Just like the day we first opened in 1976, we consider our new store to be an extension of our home by creating a warm and welcoming environment." Spanning 28,000 square feet, Zadok is currently partnering with watch brands such as A. Lange & Söhne, Bell & Ross, Breguet, Breitling, Bulgari, Cartier, Grand Seiko, Hublot, IWC Schaffhausen, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Montblanc, Omega, Panerai, Piaget, Roger Dubuis, TAG Heuer, Tudor, Ulysse Nardin and Vacheron Constantin. For 2025, Zadok will open its first Austin-based store in The Domain (11501 Century Oaks Terrace, Austin).
