Milano Watch Week brings more than 50 independent watchmakers and established maisons to Palazzo Mezzanotte for three days of contemporary watchmaking, new releases and direct encounters between brands, collectors and enthusiasts.
Often billed as the biggest luxury watch show in the States, where the major Swiss and international names bring their new releases straight to American collectors. Talks and panels too, a proper day out if you're in New York.
The original Windup fair, back on home turf in Manhattan. Free entry, independent brands, community meetups and releases exclusive to the show. It's the indie counterpart, running the same weekend as WatchTime.
The Watch Collectors Club's northern fair - a collector-focused day of dealers, independents and plenty of wrist-spotting in Manchester.
Back for its second year, shining a light on the watchmaking talent of Bristol and the West of England. Buy direct from independents, meet fellow enthusiasts, and all in a lovely regency-era setting a stone's throw from the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
A large-scale watch exhibition at Abu Dhabi's Etihad Arena, three days mixing the big international names with independents and collector meetups, reflecting the region's growing weight in the global watch market.
An open, festival-style salon a minute's walk from Palexpo, it is public-facing and free of the trade-only barriers, so independent and accessible brands get to pitch straight to visitors rather than insiders. Well worth pairing with Watches and Wonders.
The industry's biggest week shifts gear, now running Monday to Sunday with public days at the weekend, and welcomes Breitling, Universal Genève, Gallet and Damiani to the exhibitor roster. Geneva at its busiest and best.
