The 18th Annual Nashville Watch Fair Returns to King Jewelers

Ten days of horology, hospitality, and the year's most coveted releases — all under one roof in Green Hills.

For 18 years running, the Nashville Watch Fair has been the South's premier gathering for collectors, enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the quiet artistry of fine watchmaking. From June 11 through June 20, 2026 — closed Sundays — King Jewelers in Green Hills will once again open its doors for ten days dedicated to the brands, the people, and the timepieces that make horology one of the most enduring crafts on earth.


This year's fair is shaping up to be the most ambitious yet — with more than 35 of the world's most respected watch brands on hand, the headline-grabbing Watch Time Passport experience, an autographed prize package from the Nashville Predators, and a curated selection of Watches & Wonders 2026 releases that collectors have been waiting all year to see in person.


Whether you're a seasoned collector tracking a specific reference or someone new to the world of luxury watches, the 2026 Nashville Watch Fair is the kind of event where you can examine a Patek Philippe, try on a TUDOR, ask an Audemars Piguet specialist a question about movements, and walk away with a story — and possibly a watch — to remember.

It is widely considered the most significant watch event in the Southeast.

The Watch Time Passport Experience

New this year and presented in partnership with WatchTime — the fair's official media partner — the Watch Time Passport turns one evening of the fair into an interactive collector's journey. The Passport Experience runs from 5:00 to 7:30 PM on Friday, June 12th.


Each guest receives a Watch Fair Passport upon arrival. Visit a participating brand's table, learn about a new release, and collect a stamp. Fill your passport and you'll be entered into drawings for an exclusive lineup of prizes (announced on the night of the experience).


It's a playful, hands-on way to explore brands you might not have considered — and the kind of memento collectors actually keep.

Watches & Wonders 2026 Novelties — See Them First

Each spring, the global watch industry gathers in Geneva for Watches & Wonders, the year's most important new-release event. Many of the novelties unveiled there don't reach retailers for weeks or months. The Nashville Watch Fair is one of the rare opportunities to see — and in many cases try on — those new releases in the United States within weeks of their announcement.


Expect to see this year's most discussed pieces from brands like TUDOR, IWC Schaffhausen, Zenith, Hublot, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and Patek Philippe, alongside boutique-level limited editions from independents like Armin Strom and Schwarz Etienne.

Exclusive Collector Gifts & Tiered Incentives

Part of what has made the Nashville Watch Fair a tradition is the generosity of the brands themselves. This year's offerings include:

Roman Josi–Signed Predators Jerseys (Limited to Six) — The first six purchasers of a NORQAIN Wild One during the fair will receive an official Nashville Predators jersey autographed by team captain Roman Josi. A genuinely rare crossover for fans of horology and hockey alike.

Complimentary Branded Collector Gifts — Caps, backpacks, accessories, posters, and stickers from participating brands including IWC, DOXA, Blancpain, Hublot, and Zenith, available with qualifying purchases.


Tiered Purchase Gifts:


$2,500+ — Single-watch travel roll

$10,000+ — Single watch winder

$25,000+ — Eight-watch storage box

These aren't trinkets. They're the kind of accessories serious collectors actually use, from WOLF Designs that specialize in protecting and presenting fine watches.

Pre-Owned Rolex, Cartier, Patek & More

For collectors who follow the secondary market, King Jewelers will also showcase a curated selection of pre-owned timepieces during the fair — including Rolex, Cartier, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Omega, and Panerai. Each piece has been vetted by our in-house team, and our specialists will be available to discuss provenance, condition, and current market context.
