Attention! We have more information about District Time 2023, Sponsored By Tsao Baltimore. We’ve added more exhibitors, more prizes, and another media partner.
The key stuff is the same. The show is free and open to the public and will take place March 4-5, 2023, from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm, at the District Architecture Center, at 421 7th Street NW, Washington, D.C., but since the last post, our participant list has grown to over 30 brands. Since the last update, we’ve added Delma, Mark Carson, and Troubador. Davosa has sent an awesome watch for our giveaway. The League of Microbrands Facebook Group has come on board as an additional media partner.
Bill McDowell and I have organized these events since 2016, and they have always been a fun, casual way to shop for and learn about uncommon, independent brand, and microbrand watches. After years of reviewing watches, I firmly believe you can’t really understand a watch until you have held it in your hand. At District Time, you have the opportunity to do just that and even chat with the designers themselves.
We have an amazing selection of watches at District Time 2023. The brands come from all over, but many of our visitors are surprised to learn that there are watch companies right here in Maryland and Virginia. When you visit the show, you will see watches that you probably won’t find just anywhere, and you will learn about the growing network of watch businesses right here in your backyard. Towson Watch Company, E. Stohlman, Hager, McDowellTime, Maryland Watch Works, and of course, Tsao Baltimore, all are based in Maryland, while Winfield, Lesabilier, and Richard-Harvey will be representing Virginia. Other brands will be coming in from all across the continental U.S. and Hawaii, Asia, and Europe.
