On Friday, September 20th, WatchTime Magazine partnered with Houston’s premier luxury watch retailer, Zadok Jewelers, for their 2nd annual collectors event, kicking off an entire weekend dedicated to watch enthusiasts. As one of only three such events nationwide, this exclusive gathering was the ultimate celebration of horology, drawing over 250 collectors and enthusiasts eager to immerse themselves in the world of luxury watches.
The atmosphere was electric as watch aficionados took over Zadok’s stunning two-story luxury watch store in Houston. Guests had the rare opportunity to meet and mingle with brand presidents and representatives from the world’s leading luxury watchmakers. Attendees enjoyed personal introductions to the latest watch collections from brands such as A. Lange & Söhne, Bell & Ross, Breguet, Bulgari, Cartier, Grand Seiko, Hublot, IWC Schaffhausen, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Montblanc, Panerai, Piaget, Roger Dubuis, TAG Heuer, Tudor, Ulysse Nardin, and Vacheron Constantin.

With personal appearances by Ahmad Shariar (Worldwide President of Breguet), Laurent Toinet (Worldwide President of Roger Dubuis), and François-Xavier Hotier (Worldwide President of Ulysse Nardin), collectors had the chance to engage with the visionaries behind their favorite timepieces. From the intricacies of their latest releases to future innovations, the conversations were as exclusive as the watches on display.
The excitement of the evening centered around several world premieres. The Bell & Ross BR-X5 Racing and the TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Racing Green Limited Edition made their worldwide debut at our luxury watch store. Additionally, many novelties from the 2024 Watches and Wonders event in Geneva were showcased for the first time in the U.S., making the event truly unforgettable for the collectors who came to explore these new watch collections.

As the collectors’ event wound down, the excitement ramped up again the next morning with Coffee & Cars, hosted in collaboration with indiGO Auto Group. Supercars roared into the scene, giving car enthusiasts the chance to check out some of the hottest new releases from InDigoAuto while local “drivers” showed off their own prized vehicles. It was a perfect start to the day for those who love their watches as much as they love their cars.
But the weekend fun didn’t stop there! Later that day, the Zadok biergarten came alive for Watchtemberfest—a celebration filled with luxury watches, beer, and pretzels. Collectors gathered to enjoy the festive atmosphere while continuing to explore the most sought-after timepieces from our extensive new watch collections.
During the weekend, the Vacheron Constantin Road Show made its mark with a special three-day showcase inside the Vacheron Constantin boutique in our Houston showroom. Collectors were able to try on some of the brand’s most coveted pieces, including several variations of the Overseas in pink gold with a striking green dial. One of the standout moments was the display of the limited-edition Traditionnelle Tourbillon Chronograph Collection Excellence Platine, of which only 50 pieces were made worldwide.
