Following the success of last year's event, WatchTime Magazine and Burdeen’s Jewelry are teaming up once again for their second collectors' event on August 21. Last year’s gathering brought a lively crowd of local enthusiasts to Burdeen’s East Oak Street showroom for cocktails, rare and newly released watches, conversations with brand representatives, and plenty of memorable pieces on attendees’ wrists.
