Event Recap: World Watch Day with Glashütte Original

Posted on October 16, 2025 by Tom Roth

Last Thursday, Feldmar Watch Company proudly hosted Glashütte Original for the very first World Watch Day—a new celebration of watchmaking that takes place each year on October 10 (the date, 10/10, is a nod to the classic 10:10 hand position seen on timepieces in many displays and photos).

Friends, collectors, and enthusiasts gathered for an afternoon filled with fine craftsmanship and camaraderie. Guests enjoyed local beers from Paperback Brewing, served in engraved Glashütte Original beer glasses, and took home gift bags thoughtfully prepared for the occasion. The highlight of the event was an exclusive first look at Glashütte Original’s new porcelain dial watches, a testament to the brand’s dedication to artistry, precision, and heritage.

The warm, convivial atmosphere was made even more special thanks to Stephen, Ali, and the entire Glashütte Original team, whose hospitality and expertise made the evening truly memorable.

Feldmar Watch Company extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us in celebrating the inaugural World Watch Day and we look forward to seeing you on World Watch Day in 2026!
