US Watch Shows

In answering another post, I talked about watch shows that showcase small micro-brand and independent watch companies. Looking into past posts I did not see anyone posted a list, and thought I would through this list together. Some 2026 dates have not been announced but still thought I would post what I found.

Intersect Watch Show — New York City, NY — February 28, 2026 - A grassroots-leaning enthusiast show bringing independent and smaller watch brands together with collectors and curious fans.•

District Time Watch Show — Washington, D.C. — March 7-8, 2026 An indie-centric exhibition celebrating craftsmanship with a focus on unique watches from smaller makers and passionate independents — part showcase, part community meetup.

Philly Watch Fair — Philadelphia, PA — (Dates for 2026 TBA) A community-led, micro-brand-friendly fair where fans get hands-on with watches that are often only available online
Heartland Watch Show — (Likely Midwest, Dates TBD) Advertised as featuring a broad mix of independent and micro brands alongside accessories and services; it’s oriented toward collectors in the central US.
Windup Watch Fair — Multiple US Cities (Dates & Cities TBC) Traditionally one of the most talked-about enthusiast fairs in the US, with stops in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Dallas. While exact 2026 dates and locations are still pending official release, Windup tends to host independent brands alongside a broader watch community.
Intersect Roadshow (Various Cities) Following the NYC flagship, smaller Intersect events may tour to cities like Los Angeles, Austin, and Charlotte — showing independent and hobbyist brands in more local settings.
