WatchTime and Windup partner for unofficial New York Watch Week
WatchTime and Windup are joining forces for an unofficial New York Watch Week, with both fairs scheduled from October 16‑18, alongside Indies.NYC on October 15. WatchTime will host a ticketed collector event at Gotham Hall, featuring 48 exhibitors such as MB&F, Laurent Ferrier, and Zenith, while Windup, organized by Worn & Wound, offers free entry at Center415 and expects over 160 brands across three days. The two venues are within walking distance, allowing attendees to easily move between the upscale, curated experience of WatchTime and the larger, more accessible Windup fair. Indies.NYC adds a private gathering on Thursday evening for around 350 guests, focusing on independent watchmakers and fostering direct conversations. The combined events create a dense autumn watch calendar that attracts thousands of enthusiasts, provides extensive brand exposure, and positions New York as a central hub for the American watch industry’s seasonal meeting place.
