WatchTime Reveals Some of the New and Featured Watches Coming Soon to the Watch Enthusiast Event
Get ready for a weekend-long celebration of mechanical wristwatches as WatchTime New York returns for the watch collector event’s eighth edition, October 20-22, at Gotham Hall in Midtown Manhattan. The unique collector-driven event concept offers three full days of first-time product reveals, insider insights, and opportunities to try on fascinating new timepieces. WatchTime New York pulls back the industry curtain to welcome watch collectors and consumers to engage directly with watch brand executives, famed watchmakers, and key tastemakers for the first time. Since its debut, America’s most important event dedicated to watch collectors and enthusiasts has only grown in stature and remains the anchor of New York City’s unofficial watch week. Thirty-four leading watch brands have already signed on to exhibit their latest timepieces at WatchTime New York 2023, including: Armin Strom, Arnold & Son, Bell & Ross, Blancpain, Bovet, Breguet, Bremont, Carl F. Bucherer, Chopard, Chronoswiss, Cyrus, Czapek, Frederique Constant, G-Shock, Gerald Charles, Glashütte Original, Greubel Forsey, H. Moser & Cie., HYT, Laurent Ferrier, Louis Erard, MB&F, Moritz Grossmann, Norqain, Oris, Parmigiani Fleurier, Perrelet, Piaget, RGM, Roger Dubuis, Speake-Marin, Ulysse Nardin, Voutilainen, and Zeitwinkel. The brands will present their latest timepieces, some world-first launches live from the floor of WatchTime New York (to be announced) and many more, fresh from their world debut overseas. Historically, the show has offered the first chance for North American collectors to get hands-on experiences with these rare wristwatches.

Pack nicotine alternatives
Smoking cessation isn’t a one-and-done thing; being out with friends—especially smokers—might exacerbate your cravings. Instead of giving in and asking for a smoke, tobacco-free alternatives can help tamp down those urges. Nicotine pouches are a great product for a night out. Most nicotine pouches come in cans, which allow users to experience nicotine satisfaction on the go. Another great option is nicotine patches, which have been around for decades as a quitting aid. Brands like Habitrol nicotine patches come with two or three-step programs over eight or twelve weeks, gradually lowering the nicotine dose after some time. all images ©
