The 1916 Company Watch Fair Sets a National Stage

The 1916 Company Watch Fair Expands to Four Cities in 2025

For years, The 1916 Company has been a trusted name among collectors and enthusiasts, hosting intimate gatherings that blend horological expertise with a culture of appreciation. In 2025, the annual tradition takes on new life as The 1916 Company Watch Fair expands into a four-city tour across Newport Beach, Denver, Scottsdale, and Ardmore.

Running from September 26 through November 15, the Watch Fair brings the world’s finest timepieces directly to collectors with exclusive previews of 2025 novelties, rare pre-owned treasures, and conversations with some of the industry’s most influential voices.

This elevated approach transforms what was once a regional event into a true national celebration of fine watchmaking. Each city will showcase its own curated mix of brands and collector experiences, giving enthusiasts a rare chance to see the latest from industry titans while engaging with the legacy of independent watchmakers such as De Bethune, Gérald Genta, H. Moser & Cie., Ressence, and Greubel Forsey.

Highlights of The 1916 Company Watch Fair Experience

The 1916 Company Watch Fair is an immersive event designed for collectors, connoisseurs, and newcomers alike. Each location will feature hands-on access to new releases, over 150 pre-owned timepieces from the company’s collection, and Rolex Certified Pre-Owned watches available for purchase. Guests can also schedule private appointments for collection evaluations, trade-ins, and personalized consultations.

Industry leaders will guide discussions throughout the events, including Tim Mosso, Director of Media, who will attend all four fairs, and Jack Forster, Global Editorial Director, appearing in Ardmore. Mike Manjos, Chief of Sales and Rolex Certified Pre-Owned expert, will bring his insight on market trends to Denver, Scottsdale, and Ardmore. These voices make the Watch Fair not just an exhibition but a masterclass in collecting culture.

Adding to the experience, exclusive cocktail evenings will create a social setting for enthusiasts to connect, celebrate, and deepen their appreciation for horology. Newport Beach attendees will also witness the inauguration of The 1916 Company’s new boutique dedicated to IWC and Omega, located just steps from its flagship showroom.
