Hickory Street Annex
Dallas, TX
We’re excited to announce that Windup is headed back to Dallas and staying for an extended weekend! We will be returning to our beloved venue, Hickory Street Annex, nestled near Downtown Dallas. The Annex was originally a distribution center for Gulf Oil Company. Constructed in 1921, this two-level venue space has classic charm with an updated industrial style finish that brings watch conversations to a whole new level. We’re looking forward to seeing you there for our first three-day event in this city!

May 1 – 3, 2026
Fort Mason – Gateway Pavillion
San Francisco, CA
We can’t wait to return to Gateway Pavillion on San Francisco’s Pier 2 at the Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture. With its stunning views of The Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island, this naturally-lit, architecturally renovated space is an idyllic spot to gather, meet new brands, try new products, and experience enthusiasm together. It comes complete with breakout spaces for activations, panels, and live podcasts, and our ever-growing EDC Expo. You won’t want to miss this iconic San Francisco experience.
Windup Watch Fair Chicago
July 10 – 12, 2026
*NEW VENUE*
Morgan Manufacturing
Chicago, IL
For our fifth year in Chicago, we are heading to a new location: Morgan Manufacturing in the West Loop. With more enthusiasts attending every year, we can’t wait to welcome them to an upgraded experience with 30,000+ square feet of open space and natural light. We couldn’t be more excited to start this new chapter of our Chicago presence.
Chicago is a key city for American manufacturing as well as a hub of activity in the midwest, and Windup Chicago has become a homebase for the watch enthusiast community. This new space will also make room for an official EDC Expo area for the first time in this city as well!
Windup Watch Fair New York City
October 16 – 18, 2026
Center415
New York, NY
In 2025, we pushed the limits and delivered what was without a doubt, the biggest watch fair in the world. With well over 140 brands in attendance, more than 11,000 enthusiasts flocked to the Fair over the course of three days. We’ll be returning to Center415 on 5th Ave, just a couple blocks north of The Empire State Building. This iconic location will continue to include space for our EDC Expo, our panel and podcasting area, a full bar and lounge, and special activation areas, bringing engagement at the show to a whole new level. Additionally, we have always coordinated with our friends behind the WatchTime New York event at Gotham Hall to present our shows on the same weekend. This year, we’ll take that coordination a step further by integrating programs and highlighting multiple events happening across industry in NYC. It’s sure to be a full week dedicated to watch enthusiasts and collectors like never before in the US.
We can’t wait to see you at the Windup Watch Fairs this year! They will continue to reflect our passion for thoughtfully crafted products and brands that elevate our daily adventures, foster relationships, and provide enduring value. Meanwhile, we hope the fairs will be a place for you and our amazing community to discover what’s new and experience enthusiasm at our Windup Watch Fairs.
