The Penthouse at The Singapore EDITION was packed on Friday morning, 13 November 2026, as collectors and enthusiasts alike gathered for the first program at IAMWATCH 2026: GTG (get-together): The OGs. There was coffee, a small breakfast, and the chance to meet some of independent watchmaking’s most established figures. And it clearly proved the best way to begin the event’s first public day.

The OGs line-up featured Felix Baumgartner, Maximilian Büsser, Martin Frei, Vianney Halter, Sylvain Pinaud, Roger W. Smith, Andreas Strehler and Kari Voutilainen.

The mood was refreshingly relaxed and easy-going, with many visitors keen to meet the makers, take wrist shots and spend some time together. For anyone who has followed a watchmaker’s work from afar, meeting them in person offers a chance to ask questions and put a face to the name that’s on their wrist every day.

We joined the morning’s gathering to capture some of the action, people and watches in the Penthouse. Take a look through the gallery below for some scenes from our morning with the OGs.
