It’s time once again for the grand spectacle that is the New York Watch Week. Typically the busiest time of the year for the watch industry in New York, the event promises high-end shows, panel discussions, and brand events that bring together both aficionados and newcomers to the field. Drawing the attention of diverse brands and genuine enthusiasts alike, it’s a vibrant hub of horological savoir-faire and innovation.
The renowned WatchTime magazine continues to curate ‘WatchTime New York’, an event adored by collectors, from October 16th through the 18th. With their reputation of being bigger and better each year, this edition brings together a staggering 48 brands at Gotham Hall, featuring recognizable names as well as debuts including Ferdinand Berthoud, Kudoke, Kollokium, and Daniel Roth, amongst others.
A walk through the Meridian Arts Center, the host venue for the Toronto Timepiece Show 2026, was an enchanting stroll past 90 brands from around the globe. The event was expertly assembled by Jason Hutton and his team, making it hard to believe that it was only in its third edition. This relative newbie in the world of horology has made an impressive mark, evident in the growing popularity of the Timepiece Shows across Canada. This year, events were organised not only in Toronto but also in Vancouver and, marking a first, Montréal.
Despite the growing popularity of the satellite venues, Toronto, the original, holds a special charm. The real charm of these shows lies in the connections made amongst the watch lovers who flock to these events. The thrill of checking out the latest offerings — like those from Baltic — remains an indispensable part of the experience.
