Bauche, Ubiq, Konnii... You may not know these brands, but it seems that's just a matter of time. The first two are newly founded by Singaporean working professionals with an inventive take on materials and colours, while the third is a Malaysian specialist in timekeeping automatons.

Discover these watchmakers among 45 independent and predominantly microbrands at Spring Sprang Sprung (SPRG) 2024. Held from October 18 to 20 at the Level 3 foyer of the National Library Singapore on Victoria Street, this event is now in its third iteration.

It showcases brands from more than 15 countries, including 25 returning exhibitors from the past years and 20 new to the show. Ten are proudly home-grown.

This is good news for the watch community: SPRG is the same week as The Hour Glass' IAMWATCH. As the fair's co-founder, Yong Keong Lim, reveals, that is no coincidence. "We had a discussion with The Hour Glass on creating a 'Singapore Watch Week' kind of synergy so that the big boys of watchmaking, the large independents, and the micros are all represented."

BIGGER THAN EVER

Beyond seeing the latest timepieces at SPRG, collectors seeking exclusive creations would be pleased to know that several recently established brands are set to launch their debut models there. Expect all watches to be priced in the $300 to $6,000 range.
