On October 6 and 7, watch fans will be able to go to the Paluet on Passeig de Gràcia, headquarters of theII Edition of the Barcelona Watch Market, the leading second-hand and collectible watch fair in southern Europe, which is establishing itself as one of the most valued events by both specialized tourism and the local public who are fans of watchmaking.
This second edition will experience a large increase compared to the one held last April. It will have 60 exhibitors, mostly international, including renowned professionals from Germany and Italy, as well as a representation of top-level North American exhibitors.
Thus, lovers of Fine Watchmaking will be able to find a wide variety of opportunities, from discontinued pieces or collectibles and antiques, to second-hand watches in perfect condition and with all purchase guarantees.
Another novelty of this second edition is that it coincides with Barcelona Jewelery Week, the Barcelona Jewelery Week, which will take place the same weekend and includes two parallel events: JOYA, an artistic jewelery fair that will be held at the Arts Santa Mónica centre, and the ESPAI JOYA, with a more commercial and professional nature, which will take place at the Reials Drassanes in Barcelona.
The organization of theII Edition of the Barcelona Watch Market ha previsto que se pueda asistir a estos tres eventos con un mismo ticket.
The sector of second-hand and collectible watches, an upward trend
New consumer trends have also reached the luxury sector and particularly fine watchmaking. Currently, antique and collectible pieces are highly valued and are beginning to be the subject of auctions, which has begun to involve a very specialized subsector within watchmaking.
Las series limitadas y productos descatalogados también mueven a un público muy especializado y entendido en el sector, que puede disponer de pequeñas colecciones que desea ampliar o buscar cierta especialización incorporando determinadas piezas únicas. Se trata, por lo tanto, de un público que se mueve en foros y eventos muy especializados, y para el que resulta muy atractivo participar en estaII Edition of the Barcelona Watch Market.
An initiative under the Barcelona Watch Experience
The Barcelona Watch Experience (BWE) was held last April in Barcelona with great participation, and had the support of various companies, specialized media and entities such as Barcelona Turisme and l'Associació de merchants Amics del Passeig de Gràcia. This model, apart from the collectibles market, also included a conference and other parallel activities organized with the collaboration of local specialized establishments.
Thus, the interest aroused by the Barcelona Watch Experience in the watch buying and selling sector has led to the celebration of this satellite and more specialized event, theII Edition of the Barcelona Watch Market.
In this way, Barcelona has established itself as one of the most prestigious specialized tourism destinations for professionals and enthusiasts of Fine Watchmaking in Europe. And this has only just begun; We are sure that in future editions the success of attendance will be even greater and proposals like this will become a regular meeting point for the leading representatives of the watch sector worldwide.
