“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.
