JCK, Luxury to Debut New Watch Section in Vegas Next Year
Timepieces at Luxury will take place at The Venetian and, like Luxury, will be invitation-only for the first two days.

Called Timepieces at Luxury, it is scheduled for May 27 to June 1, 2026, in The Venetian’s Bellini Ballroom.
Timepieces at Luxury will be open to invited retailers only for the first two days (May 27-28) before opening to all JCK attendees from May 29 through June 1, 2026.
According to show organizers, to date, nine brands have confirmed their participation, with more to be announced.
They are: Accutron, Alpina, Bulova, Caravelle (Designed by Bulova), Citizen, Frederique Constant, Movado, Shinola, and Victorinox.
Citizen, which exhibited at Couture this year, owns the Accutron, Alpina, Bulova, Caravelle, Citizen, and Frederique Constant brands.
Movado and Shinola also exhibited at Couture in 2025.
In a news release announcing the rollout, Luxury Event Director Meghan Margewicz called Timepieces at Luxury “an exciting addition” to the show that came about as the result of requests from retailers.
“We asked what our customers would like to see at Luxury, and watches was a resounding answer,” she said.
“Many of the JCK and Luxury retailers carry both jewelry and watches and being able to shop both categories under one roof at The Venetian provides an even greater, more efficient experience.”
Show organizers also noted that the debut of Timepieces at Luxury will not affect JCK’s longstanding Clockwork section, which will continue in 2026 on the main JCK show floor on Level 2, near the JCK Talks Showcase Stage and the JCK Pro lounge/business center areas.
Registration for attendees and the media who wish to attend Timepieces at Luxury will open in January 2026.
