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.
If you're in France or planning a European watch trip, TimeFest offers an experience you won't find anywhere else—watches, wine, and a world-class stadium.
Often referred to as the "Oscars of watchmaking," the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève is the most prestigious annual awards ceremony in the watch industry.
