Following another successful edition in 2025, WatchTime New York returns to Manhattan this fall for its next major gathering of collectors, watchmakers, executives, and enthusiasts. The 2026 edition will take place from October 16 to 18 at Gotham Hall, once again bringing the watch community together for a multi-day celebration of fine watchmaking in the heart of New York City.

Now firmly established as one of the leading collector-focused watch events in the United States, WatchTime New York offers guests a rare opportunity to experience new releases, important collections, and independent watchmaking up close. The event combines brand presentations, hands-on watch discovery, panel discussions, tastings, activations, and direct conversations with the people behind many of today’s most compelling watch brands.

The 2026 edition will begin on Friday, October 16, with an exclusive VIP cocktail reception from 5:30 to 8:30 PM, offering early access to the participating brands and a more intimate opening-night experience. For guests seeking the full VIP experience, WatchTime New York will also offer a Friday evening dinner package, including a three-course seated dinner on the mezzanine level of Gotham Hall following the cocktail reception. The dinner is scheduled to begin at approximately 8:30 PM and will run until around 10 PM.

The weekend continues with general admission sessions on Saturday, October 17, from 11 AM to 5 PM, and Sunday, October 18, from 11 AM to 4 PM. Throughout the weekend, attendees will be able to meet brand representatives, explore current collections, take part in tastings and activations, and join the broader conversation around contemporary watch collecting.
