Seven Distinctive Timepieces Debut at Time & Tide's FounderFest: An Ensemble of Art, Music, and Horology

Published: 14 Aug 2026
Celebrating independent watchmaking and live music, Time & Tide's FounderFest will unveil seven standout timepieces in September 2026.

In a captivating blend of art, craftsmanship, and live performances, Time & Tide pioneers a stirring experience with the launch of its inaugural FounderFest. This trailblazing watch fair will showcase independent watchmaking prowess at its three Watch Discovery Studios in New York, Melbourne, and London. The landmark event, set for 19-20 September, will also host the sale of the iconic FounderFest collection globally from 22 September.

Baltic’s Heures du Monde ‘Horizon Line’ represents another noteworthy timepiece set for debut at FounderFest. This particular version of the revered Worldtimer integrates elements of place and time in a beautiful game of contrast. Its bold forged-carbon dial illuminates under natural light, harmoniously complimented by delicate orange on the inner 24-hour rotating predictor. Paying homage to the Discovery Studios’ host cities, sky blue hues mark New York, Melbourne, and London. The Soprod C125 movement powers this versatile universal chronometer.

FounderFest symbolizes a new chapter blending innovation, watch craftsmanship, and the effervescence of live music. The curated selection of watches, including the AWAKE – Sơn Mài and the Baltic Heures du Monde, underscores the event’s eclectic celebration of unique horology.
