The biggest luxury watch show of the year in the UK, WATCHPRO Salon, is taking place from 11 to 12 November at The Londoner, a sensational 5-star hotel that opened last year right on Leicester Square.

The show is packed with inspiring watchmakers ranging from the hottest artisan independents such as Laurent Ferrier, Zeitwinkel and Czapek & Cie up to commercial giants including Grand Seiko, Maurice Lacroix, Oris and DOXA. In all, we expect to have over 50 brands to discover.

There is also a lively seminar programme at Salon including Robert-Jan Broer, founder of Fratello Watches and Omega Speedmaster enthusiast club Speedy Tuesday, doing a talk on the origins of the club and the phenomenon of the community. RedBar co-founder Kathleen McGivney will host a special session with collectorsfollowed by the long-awaited London global meet up.

Confirmed exhibitors, a list that is growing by the day, include:

“WATCHPRO Salon is a prestigious event, but we are making it accessible to everybody with a passion for watches,” says head of WATCHPRO Live Lucy Cheesewright.

The show debuted last year and was universally acclaimed for mixing blockbuster brands with independents that are rarely, if ever, seen in the UK to a delighted audience of watch lovers.

“Something interesting is happening in the world of watch events. Following the implosion of Baselworld, there are hundreds of watchmakers that have nowhere to show their latest novelties while, at the same time, the number of people with a passion for timekeepers has exploded, particularly in the UK,” notes WATCHPRO co-founder Rob Corder. “WATCHPRO Salon is an event where seasoned collectors and recent converts to the joys of horology can indulge in their passion,” he adds.

There are various sessions that the public can attend including a VIP Preview on Friday 11 in the afternoon which includes private meetings with watchmakers along with champagne and canapés. Tickets are £100. This will be followed by our opening night cocktail party, tickets priced at £45.

General admission is all day Saturday 12 and tickets are £20.

Ticket sessions:

VIP Champagne Preview, Fri 11 2-5:30
Opening Night Cocktail Fri 11 5:30-8:30
General Admission Sat 12 10-6:00

On Wednesday 18th May at the Horizon Champagne Deck of the Fairmont Monte Carlo, UHNW individuals, watch aficionados and retailers joined Club Vivanova and WATCHPRO live for a sensational afternoon of luxury in timepieces. WATCHPRO based in the UK is a leading global voice within the watch industry and is followed and respected internationally by decision makers, luxury press and consumers.

WATCHPRO Club Riviera was created in partnership with Club Vivanova to bring a curated selection of incredible independent artisan brands to Monte Carlo. This was a exceptional and exclusive opportunity to meet the makers, try on and buy some of the most interesting and spectacular pieces in the world.

““We are a brokerage company for luxury transport, yachting, classic cars and luxury. Among our customers we have watch collectors, so the WATCHPRO was a perfect opportunity to know about the beautiful solutions to offer for the desires of our customers. I had the pleasure of making interesting exchanges. The service was impeccable, it was an evening of wonderful encounters, a real pleasure.””
