Taste of Time – Indie Watch Event in the Netherlands for the Second Time Around

Watches & Wonder is just behind us… and that means a huge number of new watches for us to cover in articles and videos, and for you to discover. And now, we are planning for the second year, an event where you can get some hands-on time with some of these new timepieces if you didn’t have the time or opportunity to travel to Geneva during Watches & Wonders. The event will focus on high-end Independent Watchmakers, including Christiaan van der Klaauw, Czapek, Ressence and Laurent Ferrier. 

The event is named Taste of Time, as we are organising it together with Dutch retailer Reijersen Jewellers, who always mixes gastronomy and horology.  Taste of Time allows you to see watches from the participating brands, including many of the new watches presented recently. And that while enjoying some great finger food (oysters, pata negra and more), sip from a glass of bubbles (of course, beer is also available!) or drink a good espresso. Last year was a huge success and this year we will host even more brands, more lectures and presentations, and more news.

The brands that have confirmed their attendance are Christiaan van der Klaauw, Czapek, Arnold & Son, Angelus, Speake Marin, Ressence, Holthinrichs, Breva, Schwarz Etienne, and Laurent Ferrier. And there just might be some extra surprises… Like Dutch watchmaker Annelinde Dunselman with her first watch.

When? On Friday, May 23rd, and Saturday, May 24th.

Where? In the small picturesque town of Oudewater.

Are you in the Netherlands at the end of May and you’d love to attend the Taste for Time event? It would be a great pleasure to meet you. The event is, of course, not exclusive to people living in the Netherlands; you’re most welcome if you want to come, and since the event is pretty central in the Netherlands, a drive from Belgium or Germany, and maybe even Luxembourg, is very doable.
