The Watchmaker's Club London watch collectors event.
Well, it happened, and it was glorious. After months of preamble and build-up, the Watchmaker’s Club Evening burst into action on Wednesday 7th of November and it raised the bar for UK watch events – even if we do say so ourselves.
Set over two floors at M Restaurant in bank (phenomenal food by the way, as plenty of the guests can attest to), the event brought together 16 different watch brands for one full day of horological, collector-focused exhibitionism. We mean that it was like an exhibition; get your head out of the gutter.
We say ‘like’ an exhibition because it was far more interactive than any other watch show you’ll have been to. There was nary a display case in sight, just the occasional glass box to make sure the watches didn’t get accidentally knocked or dirtied.
The Watchmaker’s Club is, after all, just that: a club. No one brand was given greater billing than another and everyone was on even footing. It was about as close to socialist as any event peddling watches worth tens of thousands of pounds can be.
