Last year, beginning in San Francisco, the Windup Watch Fair introduced a new feature to the show, highlighting a select grouping of brands from adjacent categories to the world of watches that we affectionately referred to as EDC Alley. This year in San Francisco, we’re leveling up this area of the fairs to what is now called EDC Expo. This specially curated section of the show will be presented by our good friends at Carryology. Carryology, the leader in reviewing and covering carryable gear, is a worldwide publication and community. Their design and creative team works with the finest global brands to deliver the most sought-after limited-edition carry products in the industry. Some of the brands that will be showing at EDC Expo include: Bellroy, Camera West, Giant Mouse, Leica, NOMATIC, Topo Designs, and Triple Aught Design.

Visitors to the Windup Watch Fair in San Francisco will be able to enjoy a host of additional activities. There will be a full roster of panels and programming across all three days of Windup. For you cyclists out there, we’re also excited to announce a special group ride with our friends at The Radavist. It will begin at 9:00 AM on Saturday, May 4th at the Ornot Shop and end at the Windup Watch Fair. On Saturday morning around 11:00 AM, Camera West will be hosting a one-of-a-kind photo walk experience with hands-on access to some of the newest Leica photographic equipment available. You can sign up for this class on Friday at the Camera West/Leica booths in EDC Expo. And then join in on Carryology’s official meetup, on Saturday the 4th at 4:00 PM.

There will be so many more exciting moments happening across these three days. Please sign up here for updates on how and when to register for these exciting experiences happening around the show. Come and join us down by The Bay and Experience Enthusiasm™ in a whole new way.
