Helsinki Vintage Watches 2025

Helsinki Vintage Watches, which was held for the first time last year, received a lot of positive feedback, and we were motivated by this to organize the event again.

In organizing an event, its visual materials play a very important role. For this year's event, we organized a competition for talented students of LAB Design Institute.

In addition to a small cash prize, the winner's work was used in the event poster and marketing materials. There were a lot of great works and choosing the winner was definitely not easy. Congratulations to Andressa Moro for winning the poster design competition! The concept turned out to be very functional and received praise, so we will definitely continue to collaborate with LAB students.

The venue was chosen to be at Magito Studio, which we knew from last year, and its facilities were perfect for our event. We scheduled the event for the same weekend as the Watch Show Finland, which was being held next door, so that enthusiasts coming to Suvilahti from near and far would have two different events instead of one. Like last year, the event was again free for visitors. Participating in events can seem a bit intimidating at first for some new enthusiasts, so free and flexible entrance to the event significantly lowers the bar for participation. It was great to hear from several participants that our event was their first, but certainly not their last.

The event, which was held from 9 am to 1 pm, attracted around 400 visitors this year, so the number of visitors doubled from last year. Especially between 10 am and 12 pm, there were so much visitors that the space got crowded. Although such events are always social events that create an opportunity for meeting new and familiar enthusiasts and exchanging ideas and thoughts about this beloved hobby, like last year, trading was also busy. Goods changed hands and several visitors got to acquire their first vintage watch, which will hopefully lead them even deeper into this wonderful hobby.
