This past weekend, the Toronto Timepiece Show returned to Canada's largest city for its second year. While the Timepiece Show offering quickly expanded to Vancouver in April of this year, and Montreal has recently been announced for 2026, the show's first installment was in Toronto. The 2025 program featured a new location at the Meridian Arts Center in Toronto's North York area, enabling a wider range of exhibiting brands and providing more space for the show-going public.
With more than 80 exhibiting brands, thousands of attendees, and the addition of the novel Timepiece World Awards (for which I was part of the jury), the 2025 outing of the show drew ample crowds and featured a wide selection of great watches. I roamed the show with my camera for much of Saturday (it was packed) and a portion of Sunday in an attempt to capture both some of the watches on display by exhibitors and those carried on the wrists of attendees.
The variety was impressive, ranging from classic sport watches to independent darlings and glow-in-the-dark G-Shock Crocs, as well as some brand-new releases. Scroll on for just a sampling of the watches from the 2025 Toronto Timepiece Show.
