The 1916 Company Hosts 2026 Watch Fair
A Celebration of Watch Culture + Collecting, 110 Years of Heritage.
The 1916 Company announces its 2026 Watch Fair across Newport Beach (September 25-26), Denver (October 9-10), and Scottsdale (October 23-24). As the company marks 110 years of heritage, this year’s events showcase the depth of relationships built across decades – with clients and collectors, brand partners, and independent watchmakers. Across three markets, the Watch Fair will offer access to the latest debuts and most talked-about timepieces from 2026, positioning collectors to discover across the full spectrum, from current collections to rare pre-owned watches, that together define collectability in the modern era.
Each city will feature a curated selection of watches from The 1916 Company’s portfolio, along with brand representation and activations hosted in the company’s multi-brand showrooms and brand boutiques. The Denver event marks the debut of Blancpain, newly added to The 1916 Company’s authorized portfolio, alongside expanded brand access via recently opened IWC and Panerai boutiques. Collections from independent watchmakers including Daniel Roth, De Bethune, Gérald Genta, and Greubel Forsey will be presented across all three cities.
Collecting Conversations and Expert Insights
The 1916 Company’s renowned experts will be on site throughout the events to meet with collectors, friends, and guests, prepared to share insight and opinions while celebrating the world’s finest watches. Jack Forster, The 1916 Company’s Global Editorial Director, will host Collecting Conversations each afternoon in Newport Beach within The 1916 Company’s IWC and Omega boutique, and Tim Mosso, Watch Specialist and Director of Media, will be onsite in Denver and Scottsdale to lead Collecting Conversations within The 1916 Company’s brand boutiques, and share his signature style of watch discovery throughout the event. Additionally, Mike Manjos, Chief of Sales; specializing in Rolex Certified Pre-Owned watches, will be present during each stop, offering insight into market trends, horological history, and personalized consultations.
Personalized Experiences for Collectors
Collectors are invited to book private appointments for collection viewing, evaluation, and trade-in opportunities. More than 400 pre-owned timepieces by leading manufactures will be on site and available to purchase during each stop of the event. This selection reflects The 1916 Company’s standing as a leading destination for both new and pre-owned timepieces, which includes the Rolex Certified Pre-Owned collection.
