A collector event built around direct access
Since its first edition eleven years ago, WatchTime New York has been built around direct access for collectors: meeting brands, watchmakers and executives face to face, handling new releases and taking part in presentations and tastings. The event has become the anchor of an informal New York watch week each autumn, and gives a significant place to independent watchmaking, from established independents to emerging names.
“WatchTime New York was founded on the idea that U.S. collectors wanted more than a showcase; they wanted access to the people behind the watches,” said Sara Orlando, Publisher of WatchTime.

Watches to look out for
KUDOKE 3 Raspberry
For its first appearance at the show, the independent, family-owned German manufacture founded in 2004 introduces the KUDOKE 3 Raspberry, a permanent addition to its HANDwerk collection. A silver-white frosted base dial meets a raspberry-coloured upper dial, with heat-blued steel hands and a blue leather strap with raspberry stitching; the palette nods to the 250th anniversary of American independence. Its three-armed hour hand reads the hours across three scales, and the hand-wound KALIBER 1 is finished by hand in the Saxon tradition. The KUDOKE 3 Salmon won the Petite Aiguille prize at the GPHG 2024.
DANIEL ROTH Extra Plat Rose Gold Gilt
The Extra Plat collection gains a gilt dial: instead of being printed, the Roman numerals, the DANIEL ROTH name and the individual dial number are revealed from the solid gold base plate beneath a glossy black surface, built up through repeated electroplating. A guilloché pinstripe pattern, engraved on a rose engine, plays with the light beneath.
gérald genta Geneva Time Only
Designed by Matthieu Hegi, Artistic Director of La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, the Geneva Time Only brings a slimmer 38 mm cushion-shaped case to the Geneva collection, in two versions: the Marrone in 4N rose gold with a smoked grained dial, and the Grafite in white gold with a silver-shaded dial.
Parmigiani Fleurier TONDA PF Chronographe Mystérieux
Parmigiani Fleurier presents a chronograph without sub-dials: at rest, the watch keeps the look of a three-hand TONDA PF; once started, elapsed time is read across the full dial through five coaxial hands, driven by the new calibre PF053 and its triple clutch construction.
Tickets
Both Friday evening packages, the VIP reception with all-weekend access and the VIP reception with dinner, are sold out. Single-day tickets for Saturday and Sunday remain available at US$50 on the official WatchTime Events website.
