Chrono24’s third get-together took place on June 5th at Manhattan's illustrious Dear Irving on Hudson. We met many Chrono24 users, watch collectors, and friends. If you weren't able to attend, here’s a short recap of the evening.

Find out what happened in our video and let us know how you feel about Rolex!

With technical innovations, bold designs, and strategic product placement, these brands are well on their way to winning over a growing number of watch enthusiasts. What are the models to look out for?
