“The first Miami Watch Summit exceeded every expectation and instantly established itself as the new pinnacle event for the global watch community,” said Kamal Hotchandani, the CEO of Haute Media Group. “For 2026, we are raising the bar again: higher curation, deeper access, and new surprises that will make November 6–7 the most anticipated weekend on every serious collector’s calendar.”

A NEW ERA FOR THE MIAMI WATCH COMMUNITY

In its debut year (2025), the Summit welcomed over 250 ultra-high-net-worth attendees and featured unprecedented access to the leaders of Vacheron Constantin, F.P. Journe, Roger Dubuis, Ulysse Nardin, Hublot, Bvlgari, Grand Seiko, HYT, NORQAIN, and more. Highlights included intimate panels with living legends of watchmaking, a cover-launch dinner with undefeated boxing champion Terence “Bud” Crawford and Ulysse Nardin, rare whisky and cognac tastings with The Macallan and LOUIS XIII, and a VIP rooftop closing soirée alongside the Miami Watch Club.

The inaugural event was a sold-out event series with massive media coverage across horology and lifestyle outlets, and unanimous agreement: the Miami Watch Summit catapulted the Miami watch community into a new era. 

The distinguished 2025 partners included Vacheron Constantin, Roger Dubuis, F.P. Journe, HYT, Ulysse Nardin, Hublot, Bvlgari, Grand Seiko, NORQAIN, The Macallan, El Cristiano Tequila, LOUIS XIII, and Miami Watch Club.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2026

This elevated two-day event is invitation-only, prioritizing exclusivity and fostering meaningful connections among the most discerning participants. Attendees—limited strictly to the world’s most influential collectors, industry leaders, CEOs, independent watchmakers, celebrities, and top-tier enthusiasts—will enjoy intimate lunches, dinners, and curated experiences that foster genuine dialogue rather than superficial encounters. The program features never-before-seen panel discussions that seamlessly blend horological mastery with contemporary culture, offering fresh perspectives at the intersection of tradition and innovation. Exclusive activations will unfold throughout Miami’s Design District and select locations beyond, creating immersive moments reserved solely for this elite group. Above all, the event delivers unmatched networking opportunities, enabling direct, unhurried access to the individuals who truly shape the future of watch collecting and luxury horology.
