Discover the highlights of the 2025 Original Miami Beach Antique Show, featuring vintage watches and unique collectibles.

The Original Miami Beach Antique Show has become more than just an antique show for watch enthusiasts. The event, which took place in early-to-mid January, attracted attendees and exhibitors from all over the world. The show has grown significantly in recent years, with more dealers and watch collectors attending than ever before. It has become a must-visit event for watch enthusiasts, thanks in part to the presence of influential watch world personalities.

The show features a wide variety of watches from dealers and antique proprietors. However, it is not just about buying and selling watches. It is a gathering of the watch community, where enthusiasts come together to admire and discuss their passion. One of the key figures behind the success of the show is Adam Golden, also known as "Menta." With his booth at the convention center, Golden has created a hub for watch enthusiasts and collectors.

While watches are a major attraction at the show, there is also a diverse range of other treasures on offer. Visitors can find gems, vintage jewelry, antique furniture, art, and more. The show appeals to a broad audience, with many attendees being watch-literate but also interested in other types of collectibles. It provides an opportunity for dealers to engage with new buyers and introduce them to the world of watches.

The show featured many standout timepieces, including a 1969 Cartier London Maxi Oval, a Patek World Time pocket watch with a North American enamel dial, and various Audemars Piguet models. There were also unique collectibles, such as a turn-of-the-century bird box in the shape of a rhino. The event was a showcase of rare and valuable items.

In addition to the watches and collectibles, there were also interesting interactions between buyers and sellers. One memorable exchange involved a well-dressed man showing interest in a rare Rolex Paul Newman Daytona. When presented with the asking price, the man responded that he would have to sell his Ferrari 250 GTO first. It was a reminder that watches are not just accessories, but objects of desire and status.

The 2025 Original Miami Beach Antique Show was a successful gathering of watch enthusiasts and collectors. It provided an opportunity to discover rare timepieces and unique collectibles, as well as to connect with other members of the watch community.
