London Watch Week returns with city-wide programme across the capital
London Watch Week is returning for its second edition and has bolstered its brand list in doing so.
Co-founded by Lucy Cheesewright, Justin Hast and Tom Exton, the event is back with a programme of events across the capital from June 2-6 and has been descried by organisers as a “celebration of horology” which brings together leading watchmakers, collectors and industry voices.
The week will kick off with a high complication showcase hosted at Purdey’s Mayfair flagship on Wednesday June 3 with brands including A. Lange & Söhne, IWC Schaffhausen, Montblanc, Panerai, Piaget and Vacheron Constantin.
The 2026 edition then officially launches on Wednesday evening in collaboration with Subdial. Hosted at Subdial’s Clubhouse, the event welcomes guests as part of the brand’s Summer Watch Meet, bringing together Subdial’s community alongside London Watch Week’s network of press, media and enthusiasts.
Thursday evening will then play host to the London Watch Week Gala Reception in association with Zenith, hosted at BMW Park Lane. Organisers say the evening will unite collectors, press, cultural figures and brands for a large-scale celebration of watchmaking.
Across Friday and Saturday, London Watch Week will present its multi-brand Townhouse Showcase, bringing together independent watchmakers and leading pre-owned and vintage specialists under one roof.
Housed within a five-storey building, the space has been designed as an immersive environment combining exhibition, retail and cultural programming, including a talks series and curated installations.
Independent brands include; Andersen Genève, Laurent Ferrier, Mermont and Artisans de Genève while specialists in pre-owned and vintage include; Somlo London and Watch Collecting.
On Friday evening, London Watch Week presents Style and Watches on Savile Row, an event bringing together fine watchmaking and British tailoring in Mayfair.
Expanding across Savile Row locations, guests will move between venues over two timed sessions, experiencing a curated dialogue between horology and tailoring.
Throughout the week, a series of brand-led activations will also feature in a bid to offer attendees more intimate experiences. An example of which includes an Oris event at its boutique on South Molton Street.
