GTG-New-York-Recap-2-1 — In a New York Minute: Chrono24’s Manhattan Get Together

One week ago, New York’s watch enthusiast community gathered at a cocktail bar in Midtown for a memorable evening.

Another get together

Chrono24 hosted the get together in the days leading up to the annual WatchTime event and Windup Watch Fair. It was the year’s most action-packed week for the city’s watch lovers, and the excitement was undeniable.

Many guests arrived double-wristing or with their watch rolls in tow, ready to share their favorite timepieces. The room was full of quirky Rolex models, vintage military pieces, plenty of independents, and some more affordable pieces that just bring a smile to your face. It was a gathering place for collectors, both old and new, as well as some industry veterans.

Another evening to remember

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend.

The night proved that what makes watch collecting so special is the people it brings together.

I didn’t grow up a watch guy, but a few years after graduating from university, I landed a job at the online publication Watchonista as a writer and marketer. “Welcome to the watch world,” my colleagues told me half-jokingly, “no one ever leaves!” Now at Chrono24, I work as a private client advisor, helping people find the perfect watch for major life moments.
