Well that was an insanely good weekend!! To give a bit of a back story, I decided to put on my own watch exhibition in my home town of Dublin and managed to get 20 brands to join me including FORTIS Christopher Ward DOXA Oris Nomadic and lots more. On top of that I managed to persuade Rikki from Scottish Watches to hope on a plane and join us for a live taping of the podcast. The event went smoothly with hundreds of watch enthusiasts joining us in the stunning Smock Alley Theatre which dates back to the 1600’s. I created a 44 glossy magazine for the event to highlight the local talent as well as showcase the brands that supported and exhibited at the event. During the day we had “Watch Talks” sponsored by Paul Sheeran Watches where they launched the new Gallet brand with the MD of Gallet, we also had previews of the latest watches from fortis before they launched globally on the 13th of October, there was even a limited edition Oris dive watch with a hand painted map of Dublin by Chris Alexander . I managed to arrange all of this in less than 6 months which seems to be an impressive achievement and the cherry on top was being able to raise over €3000 for the Irish Cancer Society’s Breast Cancer fund. It was also the first time I got to exhibit the Puzzle concept face to face with collectors. The feedback was fantastic. The planning has already begun for 2027. Stay tuned for more…
