The WatchTime Los Angeles Luxury Watch Collector Event is Returning to Downtown Los Angeles for the First Time Since 2019

(March 22, 2022, New York) - WatchTime Los Angeles, the west coast's first two-day luxury expo devoted only to wristwatch aficionados, will return for its second live, in-person edition this May 20-21, 2022. The luxury event will return to Hudson Loft in downtown Los Angeles's South Park neighbourhood on Friday, May 20, with an exclusive cocktail party and watch show, followed by a full schedule of discussions and presentations on Saturday, May 21. 

For the first time since the epidemic began in 2020, the event will bring the Los Angeles watch community together.

Equal parts exposition, educational forum, and international social event, WatchTime Los Angeles will once again deliver North America's largest luxury watch aficionados' show to the west coast. The bicoastal WatchTime Event series provides an unmatched direct-to-consumer event experience that brings together luxury watch companies and their most devoted fans and collectors. The ticketed event offers an outstanding selection of new and never-before-seen wristwatches, engaging discussions and presentations, and the finest chance in downtown Los Angeles to meet face-to-face with other timepiece collectors, aficionados, and influencers.

Attracting hundreds of watch lovers, the first 2019 edition of WTLA featured almost thirty notable worldwide watch companies. The 2022 version is expected to be as outstanding in size and scope, lasting two days and including yet-to-be-announced participating firms.

On Friday, May 20, the VIP opening night event will feature a full premium open bar and passed hors d'oeuvres, as well as the first opportunity to mingle with fellow watch enthusiasts and interact with watchmaking idols, prominent designers, watch experts, Hollywood celebrities, and WatchTime editors. 

Additionally, the first hundred people will get complimentary valet parking, and Friday night guests will receive a rideshare credit in advance of the event.

Saturday's full-day programme features illuminating discussions and an additional opportunity to interact with the newest watches from major brands and independent producers. 

The agenda will conclude with a keynote panel including a broad mix of professionals and influencers, similar to the 2019 WTLA edition, which included celebrity watch collectors, celebrity stylists, the WatchTime team, and other industry luminaries.

According to WatchTime Publisher Sara Orlando, the event organisers will prioritise safety protocols to ensure the health of guests and sponsors throughout the event:

"The team, our followers, collectors, and the exhibiting watch brands have all been looking forward to finally meeting in person in Los Angeles." 

Following a successful and safe exhibition in New York last fall, they are strictly adhering to CDC and CDPH requirements to protect the health and safety of all guests."
