Lancaster Watch Weekend Brings Three Days of Horology to Pennsylvania This September
America’s watchmaking heart beats on
Watch collectors looking to make one more horological trip before the fall season gets fully underway can head to Pennsylvania next month for the second annual Lancaster Watch Weekend. Taking place from Friday, September 25 through Sunday, September 27, 2026, the three-day event will bring exhibitions, educational programming, brand presentations, and collector gatherings to locations throughout Lancaster County.
The region has longstanding ties to American watchmaking and remains home to several prominent horological institutions and businesses. This year’s Lancaster Watch Weekend is co-hosted by the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC), the Hamilton Watch Boutique, RGM Watch Company, and Brent Miller Jewelers.
Programming will include exhibitions, workshops, classes, community events, and opportunities to explore both the history and continued development of watchmaking in the region.
Several activities will take place in the historic E.F. Bowman building on Duke Street, while RGM Watch Company will host its annual open house on Saturday, September 26. RedBar and the Horological Society of New York will also participate during the weekend.
“This is more than just a watch event,” said Roland Murphy, founder of RGM Watch Company. “It’s a celebration of craftsmanship, community, and the remarkable horological legacy that lives on here in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.”
The weekend will conclude with the Lancaster Watch Fair on Sunday, September 27, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the NAWCC Museum. Visitors will be able to view and try on watches from a selection of established and independent makers.
Announced exhibitors include Czapek, Hamilton, RGM Watches, J.N. Shapiro, Towson Watch Company, Vortic Watch Company, Weiss Watch Company, Love Hunter Watches, and 1776 Atelier. Jean Rousseau will also present its collection of watch straps.
Several activities, including workshops, classes, the Hamilton factory tour, and the RedBar gathering, require advance registration and have limited capacity.
