New York—Luxury watch show WatchTime New York is returning to New York City this fall.

This year’s show, a celebration of its 10th anniversary, will be its largest edition to date, organizers said.

It will take place at Gotham Hall from Oct. 17-19.

Produced by consumer watch collector media platform WatchTime, the event is designed to connect enthusiasts, industry professionals, brand executives, and leading watchmakers in an immersive and memorable setting.

“This year’s WatchTime New York event brings together more watch brands, and more new watches, than ever before,” said Roger Ruegger, editor-in-chief of WatchTime.

“Collectors can expect an incredible range of discoveries, from world premieres to rare independents, all in one place.”

This year’s event will feature 44 luxury watch brands exhibiting their latest timepieces, novelties, and rare horological creations.

The roster includes Armin Strom, Arnold & Son, Artisans de Genève, Artya Geneve, Bell & Ross, Bianchet, Blancpain, Breguet, Carl Suchy & Söhne, Chopard, Chronoswiss, Citizen, Cyrus Genève, Czapek, Fears, Fortis, Frederique Constant, G-Shock, Gerald Charles, Glashütte Original, Greubel Forsey, Hautlence, HYT, H. Moser & Cie., Konstantin Chaykin, Laurent Ferrier, Leica, L.Leroy, Massena LAB, MB&F, Ming, Moritz Grossmann, Norqain, Oris, Parmigiani Fleurier, Piaget, Ressence, RGM, Sarpaneva, Ulysse Nardin, Urwerk, Voutilainen, Zeitwinkel, and Zenith.

“We set out to bring collectors and brands together,” said WatchTime Publisher Sara Orlando.

“Ten years in, our team is so proud to have achieved that mission and so much more. WatchTime New York has become a cornerstone of New York City's cultural calendar and a global destination for the watch community.”

The three-day event will kick off with a VIP cocktail party from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 17.

Tickets for the VIP cocktail party are $225 and include VIP access to the opening night party and full weekend access to Saturday and Sunday exhibitions.

The event will also offer a new experience in honor of its milestone anniversary, the WatchTime New York 10th Anniversary Dinner.

The ticketed seated dinner, held on the mezzanine level of Gotham Hall, will immediately follow the cocktail party on Friday.

Guests will enter on a red carpet and, at 8:30 p.m., enjoy a curated three-course dinner with wine pairings.

Seating is extremely limited, and the dinner is already nearly at capacity, according to show organizers.

The 10th anniversary dinner package is $750. It includes the VIP opening party, three-course collector dinner, and full weekend access to Saturday and Sunday exhibitions.

Single day general admission tickets, which can be purchased for either Saturday or Sunday, are $50.

The show will be open on Saturday, Oct. 18, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday, Oct. 19, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Day passes provide all-day access to the exhibition, as well as exclusive wine and whiskey tastings, and numerous networking opportunities.

Tickets can be purchased on the WatchTime website
