Dust off those pocket watches and polish those grandfather clocks.

The National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC)’s Arizona Sunshine Chapter 112 recently announced the return of the Arizona Sunshine Regional Watch and Clock Show.

This two-day event, taking place Friday and Saturday, March 7-8, promises to be a haven for timepiece enthusiasts of all levels, according to a press release.

Set at the Fountain Hills Community Center, the show caters to both seasoned collectors and curious newcomers. Friday is a members-only day, a chance for NAWCC members to delve into the world of horology through exclusive mart sales, auctions and a banquet.

Non-members can join the NAWCC at the door for $98.

The real magic unfolds on Saturday when the show welcomes the public from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is $5 and youth under 18 enter free.

This day promises a treasure trove of experiences, making it a perfect family outing or a solo adventure for the watch aficionado.

Explore a sea of timepieces

The main attraction is the expansive mart where collectors and dealers will showcase modern and antique timepieces. From elegant pocket watches to intricate grandfather clocks, attendees will discover a selection catering to diverse tastes and budgets. Watch parts, tools, and literature will also be available.

The show will also feature a “Clock and Watch Roadshow,” on Saturday where participants can bring their family heirlooms or that curious antique found tucked away in the attic.

Experts will be on hand to provide verbal appraisals, potentially unlocking the history and value of treasured timepieces.
