From January 9 (Friday) to January 12 (Monday), 2026, the AHCI is pleased to invite you to “Masters of Horological Craftsmanship”, a special gathering of the world’s leading watchmakers, held at SAI, RAYARD MIYASHITA PARK in Shibuya, Tokyo.
This exceptional event brings together independent master watchmakers of the AHCI—often celebrated as the true “God Hands” of contemporary horology—alongside Japan’s Contemporary Master Craftsmen, laureates of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG), and recipients of other prestigious international distinctions.
It is a rare opportunity to meet these remarkable creators in person, witness their artistry up close, and experience their timepieces in an intimate and inspiring setting.
The AHCI warmly welcomes watch enthusiasts, professionals from Japan’s manufacturing and creative industries, and the next generation of aspiring watchmakers to join us for this unique celebration of independent craftsmanship.
