Taste of Time 2025 was an independent-watch event held in Oudewater, Netherlands, on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 May 2025. Reijersen Juweliers organized it in collaboration with Monochrome, and its theme was “Unseen”: a selection of watches that had not previously been shown to the public. The event is over. The available coverage, a 0024 Horloges editorial report published in 2025, does not state any future dates, so this article treats the 2025 edition as a completed event.
Key facts about the 2025 event
- Dates: Friday 23 May and Saturday 24 May 2025
- Location: Oudewater, Netherlands, with brand presentations at a second nearby location
- Organizers: Reijersen Juweliers, in collaboration with Monochrome, according to the event report
- Theme: “Unseen,” built around watches not previously shown to the public
- Not established by the source: attendance figures, ticket prices, and any future edition
The “Unseen” theme
The theme was the organizing idea of the event. The 0024 Horloges report describes it in Dutch as a theme that was “perfectly translated” into the selection of watches that had not yet been shown to the public. In English, that means the programme was built around premieres and first public viewings rather than around established collection pieces. The report describes many of the watches on show as premieres, which is the main thing that set the 2025 edition apart from a general watch fair.
Featured watchmakers
The report names the following brands among those featured:
- Angelus
- Arnold & Son
- Czapek
- HYT
- Holthinrichs
- Ressence
- Laurent Ferrier
- Christiaan van der Klaauw
- Speake Marin
- Breva
The report also states that Reijersen became Breva’s exclusive dealer in the Netherlands. This is a claim made in the event coverage. It has not been independently confirmed as current dealer information, so readers who need to know who sells Breva in the Netherlands should check with the brand or the retailer directly.

Hospitality and the driving experience
The report credits Restaurant De Burgemeester with serving amuses and small dishes, and it mentions a coffee stand nearby. Bentley Rotterdam provided transport and a driving experience in a Bentley Continental GT. These details describe what the 2025 event offered. The source does not establish whether any of these experiences can be booked now or whether they will be repeated.
