This time, I packed my camera and headed to Bucharest to discover WARO — Watching Romania, a gathering bringing independent watchmaking and the people behind it into the spotlight. From a self-taught watchmaker crafting his own timepieces in his garden workshop to an artistic newcomer launching his first brand, Romania’s first watchmaking school and the country’s very first watch fair, there’s a lot more ticking in Bucharest than you might expect! We meet the people making it happen, discover some unexpected horological gems, and join thousands of enthusiasts celebrating their shared passion for mechanical watchmaking.
