Sixteen confirmed brands — ranging from heritage houses like A. Lange & Söhne and Omega to independent makers such as Moritz Grossmann and Gerald Charles — will participate.
The schedule of Watch Week Aspen 2025 balances technical horology with lifestyle elements. Attendees can expect, for example, morning hikes with renowned adventurer Jimmy Chin, pickleball sessions with Olympic athletes, and cocktail receptions.
