On October
14th and 15th in NYC, watch lovers, collectors, and influencers were treated to
two days of food, cocktails, and over 20 of the leading watch brands. Gotham Hall opened its grand doors to brands
such as MB&F, Omega, JLC, and Vacheron Constantin to name a few to give
watch lovers a first-hand look at upcoming and unreleased watches.

The first night
was a limited engagement for VIPs that included cocktails, dinner, and a
private showcase of all the brands. VIPs
were welcomed by luminaries, executives, and experts including Roger Ruegger
(WatchTime Editor-in-Chief), company CEOs, Watch Anish (social influencer), and
leading collector Jeff Kingston. There
is an indescribable aura when you're able to speak one-on-one with the brand
creator or the industry leaders that are able to move the watch landscape with
a simple mention or whisper.

The second
night was open to all guests, but still kept the intimate feel of the VIP
night. Once again all brands were on
hand to showcase their latest creations along with some reveals that surprised
many. Guests were treated to a personal
watch tour with Jeff Kingston and got to dive inside the mind of one the
world's leading collectors and brand consultants. Small talks were held by experts and
influencers to discuss the watch landscape, history of the dive watch, and
other select topics. Whether it was
technical watch talk or simply admiring your favorite brands, WatchTime Magazine's
Annual watch event had something for everyone.
