Share

Tucson is over, but the sun is still shining, especially in Palm Beach, where many industry pros will be shopping for estate pieces and one of a kinds later this week. Meanwhile, New York Fashion Week starts on Wednesday, so be sure to scan the runways for spring-summer 2026 trends. There’s also a watch exhibition in the Far East and a podcast episode you can listen to a little closer to home (in the air, in your car, or at your desk).

The warmth of Florida beckons in more ways than one this time of year—all the more reason to head to this annual art and antiques show at the Palm Beach County Convention Center in West Palm Beach. Exceptional jewelry is always a highlight of this event; this year’s stellar lineup of exhibitors includes galleries and dealers such as Aaron Faber, Camilla Dietz Bergeron, Provident Jewelry, and Treasure Fine Jewelry, plus designers Alexander Laut, Lydia Courteille, Yvel, and more.

“150 Years of Refined Elegance” Exhibition: Through mid-2026 (in person)

Last month, Audemars Piguet opened a special exhibition at AP House Singapore located in the historic bar and billiards room at Raffles Hotel. Produced in honor of the Swiss luxury watchmaker’s 150-year anniversary, the event showcases archival rarities from the 19th century and the 1920s, and also explores the evolution of the iconic Royal Oak watch from its initial release in the 1970s to its many modern-day iterations. Appointments recommended.
