District Time brings a curated selection of independent and microbrand watchmakers to Washington D.C. for a weekend of hands-on exploration. Confirmed exhibitors include Christopher Ward, Marathon, Traska, Formex, Circula, Islander, Tsao Baltimore, and many more.
The event takes place at The Showroom in downtown D.C., easily accessible from the Metro. Whether you're hunting for your next daily wearer or looking to connect with fellow enthusiasts, District Time delivers a relaxed, community-focused atmosphere.
Planning Your Visit
General admission is free, but advance registration is required—there are no tickets at the door. VIP hours (10–11 AM) offer early access both days for those who want first crack at the exhibitors.
For collectors on the East Coast, District Time is one of the best opportunities to experience independent watchmaking without traveling to a major trade show.
