WatchTime Los Angeles Show is launching May 3rd and 4th at Hudson Loft in Downtown LA.
The two-day event featuring a star-studded lineup of internationally renowned watch brand exhibitors, with more than 30 brands that include Greubel Forsey, A. Lange & Söhne, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Grand Seiko, Romain Gauthier, HYT, and more…
WatchTime is a New York media-based platform and the most successful watch magazine in North America and one of the leading watch magazines globally.
Operating also as a founding member of the Watch Experts Excellence Network, WatchTime’s watch magazine products reach a monthly audience of almost 800,000 watch enthusiasts.
WatchTime Events, produced by WatchTime Magazine, now encompasses both WatchTime LA and its sister event, the long-running annual WatchTime New York show, which will celebrate its fifth consecutive year in October.
“WatchTime New York has become a destination event for collectors and for the industry, and over the years, many West Coast collectors have requested their own event in LA. We tested the waters with several one-day events on Rodeo Drive, which were very well received, and it became clear that LA’s vibrant watch scene needed and deserved its own two-day collectors’ event. Hudson Loft in downtown LA makes the ideal venue for the first edition of WatchTime Los Angeles, as it offers the perfect production space to maintain the laid-back yet luxurious atmosphere that is synonymous with our signature events,” said Sara Orlando, WatchTime Publisher, continuing:
“LA attendees will get the opportunity to see the newest luxury timepieces first, flown into LA fresh from their debuts at SIHH and Basel world while participating watch brands will get the chance to interact directly with LA’s most enthusiastic watch lovers.”
DTLA Cocktail of the Week at WatchTime LA
Each WatchTime event opens with an exclusive cocktail reception for VIP guests and industry executives, brand leaders, collectors, and experts, including WatchTime’s own editorial team, while the following full-day events feature brand presentations and Q&A sessions with WatchTime journalists, industry leaders, and noted collectors, including WatchTime collaborator Jeff Kingston.
Each WTNY event has been produced in partnership with luxury lifestyle platform Watch Anish, and the new LA event will reprise the long-running media partnership with Watch Anish, while Bhindi Jewelers will serve as the show’s West Coast retail partner. The Manhattan-based show has evolved into a world-class destination event marked by record attendance, and WatchTime Magazine has launched the LA event to meet demand from its international network of collectors. Here is a first look at the 2 two-day WatchTime LA event schedule:
- Friday, May 3rd: Admission of $150 covers entry for the entirety of the two-day WatchTime LA event, including the much-anticipated Friday-night VIP cocktail party on May 3rd from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m., which offers exclusive first access to the exhibiting brands and their latest timepieces, fresh from their worldwide debuts at SIHH and Baselworld, or brand new timepieces debuting worldwide at the event. Party attendees will also enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres while mingling with industry VIPs, brand executives and CEOs, and WatchTime editors.
- Saturday, May 4th: WatchTime Los Angeles will continue on Saturday, May 4th from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. with a full day of curated presentations and industry panels geared to watch lovers of all levels, from established watch collectors to budding enthusiasts. After a panel and Q&A led by WatchTime Editor-in-Chief Roger Ruegger, noted collector and consultant Jeff Kingston will take registered guests on a tour of the WatchTime LA show floor to offer expertise and insights on each brand in an intimate small group setting. Kingston’s by-appointment tours have historically been one of the great highlights for the show guests in NY, and it can be expected that the LA tours will also hit capacity quickly. Saturday-only admission is $50.
