WatchTime New York, America’s largest public watch event dedicated solely to collectors and enthusiasts, wrapped up its fourth year in Manhattan at Gotham Hall over the weekend. The two-day event began with a sold-out VIP cocktail party on Friday, October 26, followed by a full day of panels, seminars, tours, and events on Saturday, October 27. Over the course of the two-day show, over 1,400 attendees came to see the latest watches from 35 internationally renowned watch brands: the largest number of exhibitors and the highest number of registered attendees the WatchTime New York Show has seen to date. For those that couldn’t make it to Gotham Hall for this year’s fair, here are a few of our favorite images from the weekend and we hope to see you this time next year.

Another wonderful WatchTime event at Gotham Hall, NYC. We especially enjoyed our time with Roland G. Murphy of RGM WATCH CO. and Giles English of Bremont Watch Company. It was exciting to see so many new manufacturers as well. Thanks again WatchTime!
