Easy to look forward to.

Locations will rotate throughout the Pittsburgh area, guided by interest and accessibility.

What to expect

1

Come as you are

Bring a watch, a question, or simply your curiosity. Owning a watch is not required.

2

Know the details

Each event will clearly show its cost, age requirements and cancellation terms before you register.

3

Keep it personal

The venue for our inaugural gathering is listed above. Other exact venues are shared with approved members after registration. Photos require permission, and publication requires separate consent.

4

Make room for others

Capacity limits and waitlists keep gatherings comfortable. An easy cancellation helps someone else join.

Consideration is part of the invitation

Your kind of evening.

Gatherings bring together watch education, conversation and shared meals. Alcohol-free formats belong in the program, too.

Before an event is confirmed, the host will check step-free access, seating, noise levels, dietary options and parking. Tell the host what would help you feel comfortable; availability must be confirmed with the venue.
