Take a look at our first event with watch enthusiasts all coming together - Want to attend the next one?

Over the past 10 months, Ben and I have been to numerous watch events and get-togethers across the UK. One of the most noticeable parts of these get-togethers is the overriding passion people have for watches which is matched by their authentic enthusiasm.

The watch community is a relatively small one which, depending on how you look at it could be regarded as a good or bad thing. Many watch fans only know a small handful of others at a maximum, meaning passion and researched information ends up being kept to themselves. This is where watch events come in. With businesses such as RedBar, collectors and fans can all come together in one secure place to exchanges watch collecting stories and share passions. This is something Ben and I really enjoyed about the events we attended and was something we wanted to re-create for WatchGecko.

When we would return from these events, we'd share our experiences with the rest of the WatchGecko team. This, among other motivations, was the catalyst which started our plans for our very own WatchGecko event.

'An Evening with WatchGecko' was an opportunity for customers to not only experience and try on our products in person prior to ordering, but also meet with members of the WatchGecko team from website creators, to photographers, to the packing team and the man who started it all! We also wanted the evening to offer collectors and passionate watch enthusiasts the opportunity to share not only their knowledge but also their own watch collection.

Of course, we didn't come alone, we decided to bring a few products for people to enjoy. A selection of popular watch strap types was on display including our durable rubber straps, Italian leather straps and a wide range of Military Nylon straps.

Both long-running models such as the K-01 and C-01, along with some exciting new additions to the Geckota range of watches were available for handling. It was great to see many of you experience our products in person and have in-depth conversations about all things watches.

We'd like to take this moment to thank everyone who came along and supported our first event. We hope you all enjoyed the opportunity to experience our products and meet the WatchGecko team as much as we enjoyed hosting the evening.

Check out the rest of the images from the evening below, enjoy!
