Wednesday 3 June
High Complication Showcase – James Purdey & Sons, Mayfair
The week opens with authority. Hosted within the historic surroundings of James Purdey & Sons, the High Complication Showcase brings together an exceptional line-up of maisons including A. Lange & Söhne, IWC Schaffhausen, Montblanc, Panerai, Piaget and Vacheron Constantin.
Expect tourbillons, minute repeaters, perpetual calendars and rattrapantes—each piece representing the outer limits of mechanical watchmaking. This is a rare opportunity to experience high horology up close, away from the usual trade-show environment.
London Watch Week Launch Night at The Subdial Clubhouse
Later that evening, the tone shifts from formal to social.
In partnership with Subdial, London Watch Week officially opens at the Clubhouse, as part of the brand’s Summer Watch Meet. Collectors, media and enthusiasts come together in a relaxed setting designed for conversation, discovery and hands-on interaction with highly collectible references.
Thursday 4 June
London Watch Week Gala Reception with Zenith – BMW Park Lane
Thursday delivers the week’s centrepiece.
The London Watch Week Gala Reception, held in association with Zenith, brings together collectors, industry figures and cultural voices for a large-scale evening celebration.
Set within BMW Park Lane, the event blends automotive precision with horological excellence, an alignment that feels entirely natural. Combining automotive prestige with horological excellence, the evening promises to be one of the defining moments of the 2026 programme.
Friday 5 June
The London Watch Week Townhouse – Electric Space, W1
Across Friday and Saturday, London Watch Week takes over a five-storey townhouse at Electric Space.
This is where independent watchmaking meets the secondary market. Expect a curated mix of brands including Andersen Genève, Laurent Ferrier, Mermont and Artisans de Genève, alongside respected pre-owned and vintage specialists such as Somlo London and Watch Collecting.
More than a showcase, the space is immersive, combining exhibition, retail and a cultural programme of talks and installations.
Style and Watches on Savile Row
Friday evening moves to Savile Row with Style and Watches on Savile Row, a refined event that explores the relationship between fine watchmaking and British tailoring.
Here, watchmaking meets British tailoring in a multi-location event that invites guests to move between venues across two timed sessions. The connection is deliberate, precision, craftsmanship and heritage sit at the core of both disciplines.
Additional Programme Highlights
Alongside the headline programme, London Watch Week will host a number of brand-led activations, offering collectors more intimate and specialist experiences throughout the week.
Oris brings the spirit of Holstein to its London boutique, with a focused showcase exploring its heritage and in-house calibres, alongside a hosted discussion offering deeper insight into independent Swiss watchmaking.
Meanwhile, British jeweller Pragnell presents the Pragnell Bray Origins Clock in Mayfair, a remarkable piece inspired by John Harrison’s H1 Marine Chronometer. Designed by Charlie Pragnell and realised by master clockmaker Bob Bray, it stands as a statement of British horological craft.
Further collaborations and boutique events will be announced in the lead-up to June.
London Watch Week continues to unite an exceptional range of brands with a fast-growing new generation of collectors, reinforcing London’s position as a major force on the global horological stage.
