Next weekend, the watch world will be on Texas time as two free public events bring an array of micro, independent, and boutique brands to the state’s capital.
Intersect
After events on the East Coast (Atlanta) and the West Coast (Los Angeles), Intersect will take on the Southwest at 800 Congress Avenue, Austin, on Saturday, November 16, 2024, from 12:00-5:00 pm.
Organized by Wes Kwok of Nodus, Markus Wälchli of Formex, and Peter Cho of Jack Mason, and featuring a total of 27 watch brands, Intersect is a collective effort in which the exhibitors are curated by the brands to ensure they share the same values and standards.
General admission is free, but you must RSVP in advance and if you want to take advantage of the open bar, a drinks ticket is $25. For those who would like more interaction with the brands, Intersect offers an early access VIP ticket for $40 that gets you an extra hour and a half with limited crowds.
