We’re back in Chicago and we feel it! From July 10–12, Windup Watch Fair Chicago returns for its fifth year, bringing together over 70 watch brands, thousands of enthusiasts, and some of the best conversations in watch collecting. This year, we’re excited to welcome everyone to an all-new home: Morgan MFG, a stunning industrial event space located just steps from Chicago’s vibrant Fulton Market district.

The move to Morgan MFG marks an exciting new chapter for Windup Chicago. The venue offers significantly more room to explore, gather, and discover, along with something every watch enthusiast appreciates: incredible natural light. Whether you’re photographing your latest find, evaluating a new release, or simply enjoying a weekend surrounded by fellow enthusiasts, Morgan MFG provides an ideal backdrop for what promises to be our biggest Chicago event yet.

As always, admission is free and open to everyone, making Windup the perfect place for seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers alike to get hands-on with watches they may have only seen online.

We’re also thrilled to announce our lead sponsors for Windup Watch Fair Chicago 2026: Atelier Wen, Christopher Ward, Citizen, eBay Live, and Oris. We’re so grateful to our returning Lead Sponsors with their enthusiast-tuned collections. Stay tuned for more info around the new pieces they’ll be showcasing. And here’s our full list of sponsors:

We’re honored to have Miyota join us this year as the Official Movement Sponsor of Windup. Visitors will have the chance to learn more about their expertise and approach to watchmaking. Be sure to stop by the Brew Watch Co. booth, where you cannot only check out some amazing timepieces, but can get caffeinated too as they will be sponsoring our coffee bar as well.

But that’s not all. Our pals at Omologato have partnered with Chip Ganassis Racing, arguably one of the most historic Indycar Series racing teams in the world. We are delighted that CGR have kindly leant us the 2025 IndyCar Championship winning racecar number 10 driven by Alex Palou, which will be on display for the entirety of the Windup weekend!

Of course, the watches are only part of the story. Windup has always been about bringing together a passionate community of enthusiasts, and we’re already hard at work planning additional activities, gatherings, and special events throughout the weekend. Stay tuned in the coming weeks as we announce more opportunities to connect, celebrate, and experience Chicago’s thriving watch community.
