Highlights & Host Spotlights
Brent Miller Jewelers & Goldsmiths
A premier fine jewelry and watch retailer in Lancaster, Brent Miller Jewelers offers luxury brands alongside expert services. The Bowman Technical School building they own now houses Hamilton’s boutique, preserving local horological heritage.
Hamilton Boutique
Hamilton returns to its roots in Lancaster! Their U.S. flagship store is housed in the former Bowman Watchmaking School, rooted in their 1892 origins. The venue not only sells watches but also showcases Hamilton’s storied legacy in rail and military timekeeping.
NAWCC Museum
The National Watch & Clock Museum, in historic Columbia PA, preserves America’s horological history. It offers rich educational opportunities and special presentations during the weekend.
RGM Watch Co.
Founded in 1992 by master watchmaker Roland Murphy, RGM is one of America’s few manufacturers to produce watches—and their movements—in-house. Their Mount Joy studio emphasizes traditional craftsmanship and American-made quality.
RedBar Gathering at E.F. Bowman Building
RedBar is a global community of watch enthusiasts. Their event at the historic Bowman Building (also tied to Lancaster’s watchmaking legacy) offers a chance to mingle and geek out about horology in a meaningful setting.
