Dates: 14–15 Nov 2026 · daily 11am to 6pm
Most watch shopping in Singapore happens behind the glass counters of Orchard Road boutiques. Spring Sprang Sprung is the opposite: a free weekend where you meet the founders of small independent brands across the table. The organisers say conversations come before transactions, so come with questions.

Why go?
It’s free, and it’s the only fair in Singapore dedicated to independent watchmaking. The organisers say it has grown from 22 brands at its first edition in 2022 to more than 70 this year.
The founders are often the ones at the table, so you can ask about movements, straps and lead times directly.
There are panels and workshops on top of the stands, so even a non-buyer can spend an afternoon learning.
What to do
01 · Do a lap before you talk shop
Walk every row once and note the brands you want to come back to. Then spend real time at three or four tables rather than a minute at twenty (suggestion).
02 · Join a panel or workshop
The organisers run discussion panels and workshops alongside the fair. Check the official channels nearer the date for the schedule.
03 · Bring the watch you love
Collectors at independent fairs like comparing pieces. Wearing your favourite is an easy way to start a conversation (suggestion).
