Updated March 1, 2026, to reflect the final brand roster. Also note that VIP admission and Saturday general admission are now sold out, but Sunday general admission tickets are still available.
District Time will return to The Showroom in Washington, D.C. on March 7-8, 2026, with an amazing array of watch brands. Tickets are available now.
Ten years ago, Bill McDowell approached me with the idea of hosting a watch show. It wasn’t supposed to be a big thing, just a way to turn out D.C. area enthusiasts and introduce them to some small watch brands we liked. Back then, neither of us had even attended such an event, let alone organized one, but undeterred by our ignorance, we did it anyway. I’m glad we did. Our little gathering evolved into a respected watch fair. Every year, I look forward to meeting new watchmakers and watch fans at District Time, many of whom are now my good friends.
As always, general admission is free. You can also purchase early access to a limited-attendance VIP hour for just $25 per day. Regardless of which you choose, you must get your ticket in advance. Unlike past years, we will not allow registration at the door. This will allow us to better manage occupancy and security. You can get your tickets here. They’re free, but please, don’t be a ticket hog. Only register for what you will actually use.
Head over to DistrictTime.com for all the details. You’ll find ticket links, venue info, and of course, links to all of our fabulous sponsors and exhibitors. We may have one or two surprises to come in the next few weeks, too.
We can’t wait to see you!
