Published on November 12, 2025 ![](/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fa.storyblok.com%2Ff%2F321609%2F2048x1536%2F670642e147%2Fp1181169.jpg&w=3840&q=75) We are delighted to report that [this year's Manchester Watch Show](/the-manchester-watch-show) was a huge success! We welcomed over 850 people and 38 brands to the [Bridgewater Hall](www.bridgewater-hall.co.uk), and they had a fantastic time; from minute one people were trying on watches at every stand, making purchases, and delighting in seeing great timepieces for the first time. As soon as people started queuing outside well before we opened, we knew it would be a great day. There was some disappointment as a couple of brands could not attend due to ill health, but fortunately the effort from the remaining exhibitors more than made up for it! ![](/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fa.storyblok.com%2Ff%2F321609%2F2048x1152%2F1cfd3ac536%2Fp1039332-mov-11_55_13_16-still001.jpg&w=3840&q=75) Show Attendees patiently waiting for it to open! Spread over three floors, the range of brands was incredible. At the café/bar people took a chance to relax and discuss their purchases and compare what they wore to the show. Doing a fine job selling her books was [Rebecca Struthers](www.rebeccastruthers.com), one of the world's leading female watchmakers based in the North of England. The team from [Horologium](www.horologium.uk) were there to help answer people's questions about servicing and starting a new watch brand. We at The Watch Collectors' Club loved meeting attendees and hearing about their collections and what they were most excited about on the day. ![](/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fa.storyblok.com%2Ff%2F321609%2F2048x1152%2F5dbb1b15cb%2Fp1039365-mov-11_59_44_25-still001.jpg&w=3840&q=75) ![](/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fa.storyblok.com%2Ff%2F321609%2F2048x1536%2Fafc4205086%2Fp1181168.jpg&w=3840&q=75) ![](/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fa.storyblok.com%2Ff%2F321609%2F2048x1536%2F670642e147%2Fp1181169.jpg&w=3840&q=75) ![](/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fa.storyblok.com%2Ff%2F321609%2F2048x1152%2F5eaf8c209a%2Fp1039493-mov-12_23_14_26-still001.jpg&w=3840&q=75) After the show closed many of the local attendees from the Manchester watch community piled in to a nearby pub with some of the exhibitors and continued the watch chat well into the evening. Days like this are incredibly good fun for watch enthusiasts. You see great watches, meet great people, and have the chance to explore your passion with like minded people. The community is friendly, inclusive, and loves to explore new brands and watches. Our [Events](/events/) prove this time and time again. ![](/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fa.storyblok.com%2Ff%2F321609%2F3000x4000%2F2cfdd1b14b%2Fteamshotmanchester2025.jpg&w=3840&q=75) The Watch Collectors' Club Team celebrate a successful day at the show!
