Join the ‘Masters’ of the watchmaking world for the 2025 International Festival of Time!
There is no better location for showcasing handcrafted artisanal haute horlogerie than Waterford, home to the only museum dedicated to watches and clocks in Ireland. This city is just a short distance from New Geneva, where Genevan watchmakers began their craft in 1783. Had this venture succeeded, it could have profoundly changed the industrial history of Ireland.
Exhibitiors confirmed for 2025 so far include John McGonigle (IRL), Stephen McGonigle (IRL), Bryan Leech (IRL), Albert Edelmann/Zeitwinkel (CH), Patrik Sjögren (SW), Rune Bakkendorff (DK), Vianney Halter (F/CH), Shona Taine (CH), Bastien Vuillomenet/Lundis Bleus (CH), Cyril Brivet-Naudot (F), Sylvain Pinaud (CH), Felipe Pikullik (DE), James Thompson/Rob Nudd Arcanaut (SW/DK)
