The Taste of Time, an exclusive event highlighting Independent Watchmakers, is coming back to the Netherlands for its third occurrence. This year promises to be bigger and better, with more participating brands.

The Taste of Time, an elite event dedicated to independent watchmakers, is returning to the Netherlands for a third event provisionally bigger and grander in scale. Hosted by Adriaan, the event has seen continuous growth in its three iterations, proving popular among watch enthusiasts. For the upcoming iteration, the event organizers have selected a more spacious and convenient location.

This year’s event also promises a more extensive roster of participating brands. Attendees can expect to witness brand presentations, explore novelties, and hear passionate storytelling centered around timeless craftsmanship. To top it off, there will be an opportunity to experience luxury car test drives, thanks to Bentley’s mobile showroom, the Bentley Lounge.

The star attraction of the Taste of Time, naturally, remains the watches. In the illustrious line-up, more than fifteen brands will showcase their latest timepiece creations and converse about the unique aspects that make their brand stand out. The group includes prestigious names like Airain, Angelus, Arnold & Son, Breva, Christiaan van der Klaauw, Chronoswiss, and more. Information about the brands and their latest releases will be made available to registered guests.

The annual event is scheduled for May 29 and 30. The proceedings will begin at 10:00 a.m. on both days, with different schedules for presentations throughout the day. Interested attendees can block their calendars and send an email to the organizers to state their interest and attendance details. With more brands, more presentations, and additional luxury experiences, the third iteration of Taste of Time resonates with a promise of grandeur, celebrating the art of independent watchmaking.
