Miami Watch Summit 2025 Redefines Horological Excellence

The inaugural Miami Watch Summit transformed the Design District into the epicenter of haute horology, uniting collectors, brand presidents, and cultural visionaries for two extraordinary days of celebration and innovation.

The summit launched Wednesday evening with an exclusive VIP dinner at Cipriani, presented by Ulysse Nardin and honoring Terence “Bud” Crawford for his Haute Time cover. The undefeated champion embodied the precision and mastery that would define the weekend ahead.

Day one at The Moore Miami featured “Masters Behind the Brand,” with Pierre Halimi Lacharlotte of F.P. Journe, Brice Le Troadec of Grand Seiko, and Naya Aldias of Bulgari sharing insights into modern horology, moderated by Eric Wind of Wind Vintage. The afternoon’s “Legacy & Innovation” panel explored how Swiss watchmaking embraces new materials and cultural collaborations, culminating in a fireside chat between François-Xavier Hotier of Ulysse Nardin Americas and Chad Alexander, moderated by Kamal Hotchandani, CEO of Haute Media Group.

Day two elevated the experience with an invitation-only Collector’s Lunch presented by HYT, featuring a Macallan tasting. Artists Perri Dash, Saint Jhn, and Adam Golden explored how rhythm and precision intersect. The evening showcased exclusive Design District boutique activations, including an intimate cocktail reception at Hublot’s Miami boutique.

The summit concluded with a spectacular rooftop soirée at The Moore—a celebration of craftsmanship, community, and Miami’s emergence as a premier destination for horological excellence.
