Couture Time is a carefully curated selection of some of the world’s finest timepieces. The brands here represent both accessible, well-made pieces as well as unique architectural watches made for the “uber-collector.”
The watch companies will be exhibiting on our salon floor as well as in our suites and villas. Retailers can make appointments to visit these brands by stopping by the Couture Time Appointment Desk in Alsace 2. We look forward to seeing you in Las Vegas!
Couture, through a partnership with consumer publication Watch Journal, has launched "Couture Time," a significant collection of fine watch and clock brands that will be integrated into the show's exhibitor base at it's approaching edition, scheduled for June 2-6 at the Wynn Las Vegas.
Brands will include Armin Strom, Ball Watch USA, Bedat, Bell & Ross, Bremont, Christophe Claret, Ellicott 1738, Ernst Benz, Franc Vila, Gergé Swiss Timepieces, Giuliano Mazzuoli, Hautlence, Ladoire, Linde Werdelin, Montres Venus, SEAH, Speake-Marin, TF Est. 1968 and Tutima.
Located throughout the show floor at the Wynn, in the Fairway Villas or in the “Timepiece Suites” in the Wynn Tower Suites, the exhibit spaces will offer retailers quick access to these brands. As an added convenience for retailers, appointments can be made with all watch brands at the Couture Time Appointment Desk, which will be located at Couture registration.
“We’re thrilled to bring this important addition to our community,” says Lee Arevian, director of Business Development for the Couture Show. “Our goal in establishing Couture Time was to select companies that embody the best in manufacturing and craftsmanship, while also representing a diversity in style, design and price point.”
“Couture is the premier high-end event for the finest retailers,” says Glen Bowen, editor of Watch Journal. “With Couture Time, we’re bringing together some of the world’s best watch brands with America’s top retail community to do business in an exclusive and luxurious setting.”

The September fashion magazines have arrived! Hitting the desks in the middle of the August slow-down (when it seems as if everyone is checking out), stylists, editors, buyers, and consumers are perking up, taking notice, and getting down to study all of the fashions and trends packed into these massive issues. These bone-breakers are upwards of 4 pounds, and contain all of the brands that will be in fashion for the coming season and beyond.
Couture brands received serious overage, adding their own heft to these already weighty issues. Couture jewelers have many many mentions, placements, as well as a few features in some of the most influential magazines, including Vogue, W Magazine, and InStyle.
In W, Couture designer Milus was included in a piece about new watch trends, with Milus's rose gold and diamond watch with mother-of-pearl face tagged as a "chic design." Also in W's "Accessories Flash," necklace trends were illustrated with three Couture designers Melissa Joy Manning, Andrea Fohrman, and Jude Frances. Additionally, Monic Rich Kosann's keep-sake necklaces and home items were highlighted.
Couture designers Daniel
K and Kwiat were also placed in
an editorial spread by much acclaimed, bad-boy photographer Juergen Teller.
As if all that weren't enough, InStyle was absolutely brimming with Couture designers. It seems as if writers and editors have Couture at the top of their lists for jewelry placements.
Some of the designers included in InStyle were David Yurman, Stephen Dweck, Stephen Webster, and Philip Stein Teslar. Designer Robert Less Morris's designs were featured in a profile on Mary-Kate Olsen's new fashion line, Elizabeth and James, to which he contributed.
InStyle also devoted a whole page to Stephen Webster in their "Shop it! Jewelry" section.
Also featured was Kimora Lee Simmons for Hello Kitty in a four page feature, in which she describes her life-long love of diamonds.
These fashion bibles have a huge impact, and we're so pleased that Couture designers are making a such a splash this season!
