The Southend-on-Sea Time Show: The Ultimate Festive Horology Lounge

​Looking for the perfect way to wrap up the year in style? On Saturday, 21st November (11 AM – 4 PM), Driven by the Dial and A2Z Watch Club are taking over the breathtaking Ballroom at The Royal Hotel for an exclusive, festive watch experience like no other.

​Overlooking the world’s longest pleasure pier, we’re transforming this stunning venue into an intimate, high-vibe horology lounge. Whether you're hunting for a rare addition to your collection or looking for the ultimate festive gift for a loved one, this is where you need to be.

​

• ​Festive VIP Hospitality: Enjoy a private bar, premium refreshments, and continuously passed hors d'oeuvres while you talk watches.

• ​The Collectors' Lounge: A dedicated, relaxed space to sit down, swap stories, hang out with fellow enthusiasts, and safely try on incredible pieces.

• ​Exclusive Atmosphere: Strictly limited to 300 attendees, giving you unprecedented, hands-on access to the brands and creators without the trade-show crowds.

• ​The Perfect Location: Right in the heart of the newly crowned City of Southend-on-Sea, just a 2-minute walk from Southend Central Station (and only 45 minutes from London Fenchurch Street). With two large Car  Parks and a number hotels within 2 - 5 minutes walk.
