The magazine, founded in New York City in 1999, will hold its annual watch event at Gotham Hall in midtown Manhattan from October 18 to 20. The ninth edition of WatchTime New York will see 36 watchmakers showcase their newest creations, allowing collectors to experience the latest and greatest timepieces firsthand and rub shoulders with industry heavyweights.
Much of the wrist candy gracing the event only just debuted overseas and has yet to be seen stateside, according to WatchTime. A selection of watchmakers, such as Greubel Forsey, Bremont, and Cyrus, will also unveil entirely new designs for the first time in N.Y.C., the magazine says.
This year’s lineup is as impressive as ever, with Carl Suchy & Söhne exhibiting at the show for the first time. The Austrian watchmaker, known for creating incredible pieces that marry Viennese elegance with Swiss precision, will have the modern, minimalist Belvedere Titan on display. That is far from the only horological highlight, though.
Watch buffs can peruse revamped classics, such as Parmigiani Fleurier’s fresh take on the 1990s Fleurier Toric and Carl F. Bucherer’s reimagined Manero Peripheral. They can also check out open-worked stunners including the new Lang & Heyne Anton Manufaktur Edition and the ultra-thin Speake-Marin Ripples Skeleton.
Technical marvels will abound in Gotham Hall, too. Collectors can listen to the chimes of the H. Moser & Cie Streamliner Concept Minute Repeater Tourbillon and Chopard L.U.C., try on the striking new Blancpain Bathyscaphe Quantième Complet Phases de Lune , or inspect the complex inner workings of Armin Strom’s Dual Time GMT Resonance and Norqain’s Independence Skeleton Chrono. The latter is equipped with an innovative skeletonized flyback manufacture chronograph movement developed by Ben Küffer and Jean-Claude Biver.
Other highlights of the show include daring concepts such as the Urwerk SpaceTime Blade, fun collab pieces by the likes of Gerald Charles and Ducati , and artistic beauties like RGM’s “Birds of America.” To top it off, attendees can get up close and personal with Piaget’s first ceramic timepiece, Glashütte Original’s sporty SeaQ Chronograph, and Frederique Constant’s Classic Moonphase Date with a malachite dial.
WatchTime New York has attracted healthy crowds since launching in 2015, with some 2,000 horophiles attending the show in 2023. Let’s see if 2024 is just as successful.
