  • When was NYC Watch Week 2026?

    The NYC Watch Week 2026 calendar listed the main fairs for Thursday, October 15 through Sunday, October 18, 2026, with side events from October 13 to October 20 and a warm-up on October 8.

  • Which 2026 events featured independent watchmakers?

    The NYC Watch Week 2026 guide highlighted Indies.NYC on October 15 for independent makers hosting their own tables. It also highlighted the independent and haute horlogerie rosters listed for the Cellini Watch Fair on October 15 to 17 and WatchTime New York on October 17 and 18.

  • Which 2026 event focused on microbrands?

    Windup Watch Fair was listed for October 16 to 18, 2026 at Center415, with free public admission and more than 160 brands. The historical NYC Watch Week guide highlighted its microbrands and watches under $5,000.

    The NYC Watch Week 2026 guide recommended Saturday, October 17. Its listings showed WatchTime New York opening at 11 AM, Windup Watch Fair running from 12 to 6 PM, and The HYPE on the walk between them. That recommendation belongs to the archived 2026 schedule.

  • Was a live watch auction listed during NYC Watch Week 2026?

    Antiquorum's Important Modern and Vintage Timepieces sale was listed for 11 AM on Sunday, October 18, 2026 at The Ned NoMad, 1170 Broadway, with previews on October 16 and 17. The archive preserves that listing and its sources; it does not report auction results.
