A Record-Breaking Edition of AuroChronos Festival 2025

A Record-Breaking Edition of AuroChronos Festival 2025

Story
If you've been following me, you know I've loved the AuroChronos Festival since its first edition in 2017. This year, it was back after several shutdowns (damn Covid), and what we can say is that the show was a huge success. More than 1,200 attendees, over 40 brands from around the world, unique timepieces unavailable in mass distribution, and prestigious awards presented by an international jury — this was AuroChronos Festival 2025, the largest event in Poland dedicated to independent watchmaking. This was the first edition of the festival held in Warsaw (Poland) — and also a return after a six-year break. Despite coinciding with an election weekend and the event being ticketed, attendance exceeded 1,200 people, which the organizers unanimously consider a great success and a clear sign that…

Interview Pawel Zalewski – Founder of AuroChronos Festival

Interview
After several years of hiatus, the AuroChronos Festival is back. The show will take place in Warsaw on May 17th and 18th 2025. As some of you know, I participated in the last three editions, both as a brand representative and as a jury member. To give you a little more context, initiative of this festival came from two friends who love watches. Maciej Mazurkiewicz – a professional doctor specializing in oncology, and Paweł Zalewski – a translator and lecturer with over 13 years of experience in business training. The first edition took place in 2017, and as I said at the time: "I have participated in a lot of watch events but honestly, Aurochronos is in the top 5. The crew was really cool and everything has been well…

Aurochronos – Microbrands Festival in Poland

Aurochronos – Microbrands Festival in Poland

News
We are thrilled to present to you an interesting and still quite an “exotic idea” of a festival that promotes micro brands and independent watch producers. The International Festival of Independent Watch Manufacturers Aurochronos originated in Poland, a country in the central part of Europe. In our opinion this one has a good chance to fill a niche which really need exposure. It's a good initiative to promote uncommon and less-known watch brands. The event will take place from September 30th to October 1st, 2017 in Łódź, Poland, at the modern venue of Expo-Łódź; the largest exhibition center situated in the heart of the city. We believe that this will be a fantastic and unique experience with a chance to meet a wide group of independent watch manufacturers both from Poland and from…
