TimeCrafters Announces Dates for the Third Annual Luxury Watch Show in Manhattan
Following its great success in 2011 and 2012, TimeCrafters returns on May 16 – 18, 2014 to the Park Avenue Armory in New York City, where it will once again stage a grand celebration of the Watchmaker's fine art. Tag Heuer, Audemars Piguet, Hublot, Frédéric Constant, Richard Mille and Lange & Soehne are among many of the industry paragons who will be showcasing both their newest innovations and most iconic designs.

American horological aficionados once had to travel all the way to Europe to feast their eyes and tickle their imaginations with so comprehensive a collection of the world's newest and finest work. Now they can gather in the beautiful and historic Park Avenue Armory over three event-filled days that will include private breakfast viewings for VIP shoppers and buyers, a charity benefit event to be announced, and of course general admission viewing.

Christie's is proud to be a sponsor of this year's TimeCrafters watch exhibition, where the prestigious Auction House will be on site with its Private Watch Sales division to help guests navigate the transition from admiring the masterpieces on display to purchasing their own new and vintage treasures.

True enthusiasts will also find unique opportunities to get even more intimate with the craft. Master artisans from a number of brands will be on hand to give rare demonstrations of every stage in the process from gears to enamel, and engraving to setting gems. Seminars, included select ones hosted by Christie's Watches' VP, Director of Private Sales, will be planned as well over the course of the show.

TimeCrafters will be open for general admission May 16, 17 and 18 from 11:00am-6:00pm. Advance registration is now open on the website. Registrants will receive $10 off when they pre-register online. TimeCrafters' entrance fees are $10.00 online in advance or $20.00 at the door.

The Park Avenue Armory is located in New York City at 643 Park Avenue between 66th Street and 67th Street.
