The Epicentre of Horology: Watch and Clock Collectors National Convention Descends on York, 2025

From 19 to 22 June, 2025, the city of York in Pennsylvania welcomes an exceptional array of horologists and enthusiasts to the National Convention of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC). Founded in 1943, the NAWCC has grown from a small club into a community of over 10,000 horology devotees.

The Convention offers a myriad of activities, including the chance to discover horological rarities, visit the NAWCC museum, and attend various discussions and lectures. Highlighting the event is a keynote presentation by independent watchmaker, Roger Smith. The action kicks off with an open house at the NAWCC museum, which offers exciting exhibits and lectures and a special presentation by Bulova, celebrating their 150th anniversary. An early bird entrance to the Mart for an exciting hunt of horological rarities starts the following day.

The crowning event of the convention is Smith’s final talk - ‘The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of British Watchmaking’, setting the stage as the keynote address of the Saturday night banquet. For all those planning to attend, make sure to set the date - the time for exploration and discovery is ticking!
