Oracle Discovers: Auctions & Events for October 2026

Fellows – Watches, 28 October 2026

Fellows Watches 28 October 2026

Fellows closes out the month with a watches-only online sale, run out of its Birmingham base rather than a physical saleroom event. Expect the usual spread the house is known for – vintage references alongside more recent pre-owned pieces – with free valuations on offer for anyone weighing up whether to consign something of their own.

WatchTime New York, 16–18 October 2026, from $35 (approx. £25)

WatchTime New York

Gotham Hall hosts the 11th edition of what’s become the standard-bearer for American watch collecting, with confirmed exhibitors running from mainstream Swiss names like Ulysse Nardin and Zenith through to independents such as Urwerk, Voutilainen and Moritz Grossmann. Friday opens with a ticketed cocktail reception and optional three-course dinner before the weekend settles into general-admission sessions built around handling pieces and talking directly to the people who make them, alongside a full run of talks and panels. General admission from $35 (approx. £25).

Windup Watch Fair New York City, 16–18 October 2026, Free Entry

Windup Watch Fair New York City

Now past its 10th year and back on its original Manhattan turf, Windup pulls in more than 160 brands at Center415, from established names like Bremont and Bulova down to independents who’d otherwise need an introduction to get noticed. There’s no admission charge and nothing being sold to you directly – just watchmaking demonstrations, strap customisation stations, panel discussions and the kind of collector meetups that have built up around the fair since it started.

Milano Watch Week 2026, 2–4 October, Free Entry

Milano Watch Week 2026

Use up and down arrow keys to resize the meta box pane.

Milan’s watch week returns for its 2026 edition at the Palazzo Mezzanotte, bringing more than 50 brands together under one roof – a mix of independents and established manufactures. It’s built around access: brand teams on-site, pieces you can actually try on, and the kind of cross-pollination between Italian design studios and Swiss watchmaking that’s made Milan a fixture on the calendar.
