REDBAR

Redbar is a globally recognized watch enthusiast group, founded in New York City, that has grown to over 85 chapters worldwide — built on a foundation of inclusivity, camaraderie, and a shared passion for horology.

REDBAR

Redbar began as a modest gathering in New York City, founded by Adam Craniotes and a few dedicated watch enthusiasts. The mission was simple: create a judgment-free, pretentious-free space for people to bond over their shared love for watches, enjoy drinks, and form lasting friendships. Initially, small, informal meetings were held at a bar that gave the group its name.

Over time, the gatherings grew, and with the help of social media, Redbar's popularity soared, attracting members from various walks of life. Today, Redbar NYC meets monthly, inspiring the formation of chapters in cities like Toronto, London, Bombay, Edinburgh, and Dallas/Fort Worth. With over 85 chapters worldwide, Redbar continues to maintain its core values of inclusivity, camaraderie, and a shared passion for horology, offering a welcoming space for both seasoned collectors and new enthusiasts to explore the world of watches.
