Madison Avenue, the famed New York City shopping destination synonymous the world over with luxury, is set to welcome in the luxury watch industry. The industry’s leading watchmakers with boutiques on the prestigious stretch between 57th and 86th are hosting their 3rd annual Madison Avenue Watch Week. From April 8-13, brands will preview their timepieces at in-store receptions, host exhibitions, and even stage seminars by watch-making experts.

One of the most highly anticipated events of the week is the Important Modern & Vintage Timepieces auction being hosted by Antiquorum on Wednesday, April 10. Watches and clocks from brands like Asprey, Blancpain, Breguet, Chopard, FP Journe, Fabergé, Girard-Perregaux, Hublot, Montblanc, Porsche Design, and Vacheron Constantin will go under the gavel during the auction.

Each store will schedule a private, by-invitation only event as well as a preview watch exhibition that is open to the public.
