The day is nearly upon us! The 2017 Microbrand Meetup is next Sunday, November 19. Head to the District Architecture Center, 421 7th Street NW, Washington, DC between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM to shop microbrand watches from around the world, hang out with fellow watch nerds, show off your own collection, and if you hang around you might even win something…
Prizes include: (2) Borealis diving watches, (1) 1970’s vintage Seiko 5 on a new nylon NATO strap from DC Vintage Watches and Clockwork Synergy, (1) ArmourLite Tritium Officer’s Watch, (2) Art of Horology watch prints from DC Vintage Watches, Hemel watch rolls, (6) Isofrane straps, and The Time Bum will give away a Mahi Harvard leather satchel and Spinnaker and Avi-8 watches. In addition, Janis Trading Co., Doxa, and others will likely bring some sweet swag.
The lineup has changed a bit since we first announced but we now have 30 brands and vendors represented including ArmourLite, Aquadive, BOLDR, Borealis, Brew, Carpenter, Clockwork Synergy, Collins, Doxa, DC Vintage Watches, Elliott Brown, Gorilla, Gruppo Gamma, Heitis, Isofrane, Jenny, Lew & Huey, Maison Celadon, Manchester Watch Works, McDowell Time, Melbourne Watch Company, Mercer, NTH, Ocean Crawler, Szanto, Tsao Baltimore, Variant, Ventus, Vortic, Watch Gauge, and Zelos.
But wait! We’ve just added Maryland’s Little Treasury Jewelers will be there with watches from Bremont, Orion, Grand Seiko and more. (Yes, I know Seiko isn’t a micro, but are you really going to say no to a GS?)
This is going to be awesome.
