Earlier this year the first WindUp Watch Fair of 2024 got underway in New York, and this month it’s Chicago’s turn.
Set to take over Venue West for three full days of horological excellence this weekend, WindUp returns once again to spoil us with another exciting in-person shopping event.
Now visiting Chicago for a third time, WindUp brings with it over 40 attending brands, including this year’s key sponsors Christopher Ward, Citizen, Fortis, G-SHOCK, and Oris. You can find out who the key and premiere sponsors are here, as well as sneak a peek at the full brand roster: www.windupwatchfair.com.
WindUp has become the most popular consumer watch event in America, and everyone is welcome. From the connoisseur to the first-time buyer, watch fairs are a great opportunity to chat with likeminded watch geeks and also to get hands-on time with typically online-only brands. Beware though, if you’re hoping to get your hands on one of Studio Underd0g’s notorious Pizza Party watches, you’ll need to get in there quick as these hand-delivered treats are sure to be snapped up fast.
As always, the event is free and open to the public. This year’s WindUp Watch Fair Chicago will take place:
- · Friday, July 12 th : 12pm – 6pm
- · Saturday, July 13 th : 12pm – 6pm
- · Sunday, July 14 th : 12pm – 6pm
Having scoured the brand list already, we’ve got our eye on a few of our favourite microbrands.
You can join us back here tomorrow to find out who makes it to my Top 5 brands at WindUp Chicago…
