Next weekend, on May 17th and 18th, TimeFest will once again take place in Bordeaux, France. This is the second year for the event, and it promises to be even bigger and better than last time. The number of exhibiting brands went up from almost 50 to 65, and because the event moved to the Matmut Atlantique Stadium, up to 3,000 people can attend. Again, there is a nice mix between younger brands, such as Serica, Baltic, and Furlan Marri, as well as more mature ones, like Oris, Sinn, and Citizen. Among the new brands joining TimeFest are names like M.A.D. Edition, Kuoe Kyoto, and Laventure. And the great thing is: it’s still a free event.

Last year, 2,000 watch enthusiasts attended TimeFest, which took place at the Bernard Magrez Cultural Institute. They met with the brands, checked out their watches, and maybe even bought a few. In addition, there were food trucks, talks, and a DJ. Will you attend this year’s edition?

For a watch enthusiast, what’s better than walking around for a day and seeing numerous watch brands, their founders, and, of course, their watches? That’s precisely why Édouard, Jérémy, Aurélien, and Mavrick decided to organize TimeFest. Many of the exhibiting brands only sell their watches online and have no or limited physical presence. TimeFest offers you an excellent opportunity to go hands-on with the watches and buy them if you like.

Next week, the event takes place at the Matmut Atlantique Stadium, or the so-called Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux. There, you can visit all 65 brands, of course, but also walk around the stadium, sit in the changing rooms, and step on the oh-so-green grass. There’s more than enough parking space, and the event is also easy to reach by public transport.
