IWJG Show Highlight From DCWC Members |
|
This year’s 2nd IWJG International Watch and Jewelry show held on March 8-9th.
It was a highly anticipated and positively received event.
As per usual, like past IWJG shows, a line of eager awaited members entered through the ballroom doors of The Hilton Miami Downtown Biscayne. Dealers were finally, after more than a year of no official trading shows able to safely purchase and make transactions happen. One dealer mentioned he was happy to “finally able to buy my bread and butter items I was not able to during covid.”
The next show is scheduled back in Miami from April 12-13, 2021.
We all look forward to returning to normality when trading shows around the country and abroad resume to their regular schedule.
