FounderFest brings independent watchmaking and live music together for a weekend of launches, talks and exclusive Studio Editions.

FounderFest is a watch fair, reimagined by Time+Tide.

Across one day, seven of the world’s most exciting independent watch brands will launch exclusive Time+Tide Studio Editions inspired by the music that shaped their founders.

Each session includes a live product launch, fireside conversations, live music, and the opportunity to experience the new watches alongside fellow collectors. Whether you join us for one session or spend the entire day with us, every event offers a different story, a different soundtrack and a different limited edition.

Expect:

Exclusive first access to seven new FounderFest Studio Editions

Live interviews hosted by Time+Tide UK Editor, Russell Sheldrake

Live music throughout the day

The chance to meet founders, collectors and the Time+Tide team

Drinks, great conversation and a celebration of independent watchmaking, music and creativity
