October 7, 2019 Update!
Ok folks, this is it. Bill McDowell and I have been working double-time to get everything in place for our biggest watch show yet. Read up, and then get on down to DC!
This is the fourth annual DC watch show produced by yours truly and Bill from McDowell Time. District Time Sponsored by NTH Watches will be held on October 12 and 13, at the District Architecture Center, 427 7th Street, NW, Washington, DC. We will be open to the public from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM both days.
The Horological Society of New York will be on-site conducting Watchmaking 101-103 in 4-hour sessions. This hands-on class teaches the inner workings of a mechanical movement. Our first three sessions sold out fast - so we added a fourth. If you want in, head over to the HSNY Eventbrite page and register. The class costs $500 and there are only three spots left so if you want in, you should jump on it now. Please note that the classes will start sooner and end later than regular show hours.
Show Participants
We've had one or two changes since the last update. A couple have dropped off (hey, life happens), but even more have come on board (yay!). Here is the final list.

We are looking at more than 26 exhibitors each day and well over 50 brands on display - most of which you only ever be able to see online. Ardor & Forge will be taking early bird discounted preorders. Caliper and Vario will offer show-only discounts. I hear that Hager and McDowell Time may have something brand new. You don't want to miss this.
Note that Ardor & Forge, Seals, and Roebuck will be there Saturday only, and Havaan Tuvali and Little Treasury will be Sunday only. There will be plenty to see on both days, but why choose? Come Saturday and Sunday. You'll have a great time and will also get a chance to win great stuff. Seven amazing prize packages will be awarded each day. See the prize list and schedule below. All you need to do is sign in when you enter, and be there at 2:00 PM when we call the names.
And there it is. We've assembled the best District Time yet. Now, all we need is you.
See you this weekend!⬩
