JCK’s expanded watch offering hits the mark

JCK and Luxury 2026 concluded its annual trade show at the Venetian Expo, reporting an overall attendance of 17,500. 

Although the exhibition is dominated by jewelry, this year’s event marked a deliberate expansion into the watch sector.

The new dedicated watch section on the show floor included the likes of Citizen, Frederique Constant, Alpina, Accutron, Bulova, Movado Group, Fossil Group, Casio, G-Shock, Victorinox, Vostok Europe, Benrus, and D1 Milano.

“This was our first year exhibiting at Luxury at JCK, and we were pleased with both the attendance and the quality of engagement,” said Susan Chandler, chief merchandising officer of Citizen Watch America.

Further to the additional watch exhibitors, there were also special watch-focused panels and educational tracks were delivered in partnership with the FHH (Fondation Haute Horlogerie).

“JCK and Luxury 2026 exceeded expectations on every level,” said Sarin Bachmann, senior vice president of JCK and Luxury. “The excitement and momentum generated throughout the week reinforce the strength and resilience of our industry. The level of engagement, business activity, and collaboration across the show floor demonstrated the power of bringing our global community together.”
