British Watchmakers Day
Share your passion for watches
In addition to the watch brand booths, there will also be a Q&A in the next room. Host Scarlett Baker, watch editor and writer for Wonderland, Man About Town, British GQ and Highsnobiety, will be on hand to answer your burning questions. Whether you’re interested in the state of the market or watch innovation, you’re sure to have some interesting questions about this fascinating hobby. You’ll also have the chance to speak with brand owners and representatives. Plus, the event is a great opportunity to try on watches that are only available online. There will be various contests throughout the day, and maybe you’ll even walk away with a prize.
As with any public event, please only bring what you feel comfortable with. That means wearing a watch on one wrist or no watch at all. Choose what feels best for you, not what you think others expect. For more details on how to attend, check out the event page here. You can also find additional information on our Instagram account.
