Experience the World of Watches: Touch, Try, and Discover at Hands On Horology

A Premier Watch Gathering for Enthusiasts

Oracle Time is thrilled to present the return of its highly anticipated 'Hands On Horology' event, catering specifically to the passionate community of watch collectors and admirers. Scheduled for June 13, 2026, the event will take place at the stylish Protein Studios in Shoreditch, London, UK. This year's gathering promises an even broader selection, featuring an impressive array of over 45 watch brands, ranging from innovative independent labels to renowned global manufacturers. The core philosophy of 'Hands On Horology' remains unchanged: to offer attendees a direct, tactile experience with the watches, enabling them to try on various models and truly appreciate their craftsmanship. For those who find a piece they particularly love, selected watches will be available for immediate purchase, serving as perfect mementos of their visit.

Redefining the Watch Exhibition Experience

The organizers of 'Hands On Horology' are committed to offering a more engaging and accessible event compared to conventional industry trade shows like Watches and Wonders. While major exhibitions are often focused on industry professionals and media, frequently limiting public interaction with new releases to mere window displays, 'Hands On Horology' breaks this barrier. The event prioritizes the enthusiast's perspective, ensuring that everyone has the chance to physically interact with the timepieces they admire. This direct engagement fosters a deeper connection between the watches and their potential owners, revitalizing the passion for horology that can sometimes diminish in less interactive environments.

Exclusive Access and Ticketing Information

To enhance the experience for all attendees, 'Hands On Horology' offers a range of ticket options with varying benefits. Standard early bird admission, priced at £18, includes a welcoming beverage courtesy of Champagne Chalamet, along with a limited-edition art piece from Inkdial. For those seeking a more premium experience, the early bird priority pass, available for £35, provides an additional complimentary drink, a VIP gift bag, and a unique dial-customization session with The Dial Artist. These special early bird prices will be active from March 27th to April 27th, 2026. Following this period, ticket prices will adjust to £25 for general admission and £45 for priority passes.
