One of our favorite watch forums, Watchuseek.com and Horloges Magazine are teaming up for a two day watch fair for independent (read: small/boutique) watch brands. Watch 2008 will be held on December 6th and 7th at Castle Hoogenweerth in Masstricht, Netherlands. I am particularly excited about this conference because it features brands that are obscure even to many watch aficionados. Besides being able to meet representatives from brands such as Anomino, Limes, and my current favorite Stowa, attendees can participate in round table meetings on interesting subjects such as how to recognize counterfeit watches. Tickets are EUR 35.00. If you’re interested in attending, please visit watch2008.nl for more details.
