ancaster Watch Weekend is a collaborative event created to honor Lancaster’s place in watchmaking history and to bring together watch enthusiasts from all walks of life. Through partnerships with leading local institutions and national collector groups, the event aims to become a premier destination on the horological calendar.
Lancaster County was once a thriving hub for American watchmaking, and today it remains one of the most unique places in the country for horological appreciation. With its rich history and growing modern relevance, the region is the perfect setting for this first-of-its-kind celebration.
The event is co-hosted by four key local players in the watch world:
- The National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC)
- Hamilton Watch Boutique
- RGM Watch Company
- Brent Miller Jewelers
Together, they’ll present an engaging three-day program featuring exhibitions, horological experiences, an open house, and community gatherings that celebrate both the past, present, and future of watchmaking.
Select events will also be hosted in the historic E.F. Bowman building on Duke Street, a fitting venue with deep ties to Lancaster’s storied past.
Adding to the excitement, national groups RedBar and the Horological Society of New York (HSNY) will also participate, bringing their communities of passionate collectors and watch enthusiasts into the mix.
“This is more than just a watch event,” said Roland Murphy, Founder of RGM Watch Co. “It’s a celebration of craftsmanship, community, and the remarkable horological legacy that lives on here in Lancaster County.”
