I hope you’re ready for District Time 2025 because we sure are! We’ve got a new look, a new venue, and, most importantly, about 50 brands ready to bring their best watches and accessories to the Washington, D.C. watch community on March 8-9, 2025.
Bill McDowell and yours truly, Loren Sciurba, started this show back in 2016, and since then, it has evolved into one of the premier watch events in North America. Every year, District Time features a wide array of exhibitors, from vintage dealers to emerging microbrands to established independent watchmakers. Each year, the lineup includes a mix of returning favorites and new participants, ensuring that there’s always something fresh to discover. The show is free to attend, making it an accessible event for all who appreciate the art and craftsmanship of watchmaking.

We have made some changes for 2025. Perhaps the biggest is our move to The Showroom, an expansive space located at 1099 14th Street, NW, Washington, D.C., just a few blocks from the White House and steps away from the McPherson Square Metro Station.
We didn’t secure a large venue so we could pack in more tables; rather, we wanted to make the experience more enjoyable for everyone. To this end, we will now require all attendees to RSVP through an online ticketing system you can access here. General admission is still free, and you can also purchase access to our limited attendance VIP hour on Saturday morning for just $25.
Finally, we have launched a brand new website at DistrictTime.com with all the information you require, including the brand roster, schedule, contacts, and links to ticketing. Be sure to check it out. I know there will be a couple more brands joining us soon. Will there be more news about cool stuff at the show in the coming weeks? Maybe…
We can’t wait to see you!
