Adam Bykowski is a Wealth Management Advisor at Cane Financial Group, serving clients across the United States. With a degree in Economics from Temple University, Adam specializes in working with high-net-worth individuals, including CPAs, attorneys, and entrepreneurs, in the areas of wealth management, tax planning, and financial planning.

Over the years, Adam noticed a common thread among many of his clients: a shared passion for watches. That passion runs deep for Adam, rooted in childhood memories of his father, Richard, who would explain the inner workings of a timepiece and marvel at how something so small could be so precise and complex.

That early fascination turned into a lifelong interest and, ultimately, into a gathering.

What began as a small appreciation event has now grown into Watches & Whiskey, an annual evening where collectors, professionals, and friends come together to share their love of fine timepieces, curated whiskeys, and meaningful conversation. As the event evolved, Adam noticed another common thread among attendees: generosity. Many shared not just a love for craftsmanship but also a deep commitment to giving back.

That spirit of philanthropy inspired a connection with the NEPA Invitational, a charitable golf tournament founded by Adam’s close friends Brandon and Danielle Matthews. The event has raised over $600,000 to date, benefiting the Janet Weis Children’s Hospital, broader children’s health initiatives, and the growth of golf at all levels. Adam and Brandon’s friendship began years ago at Pittston Area High School and continued at Temple University, and now the opportunity to give back to the place they both came from is a dream realized.

For Adam, the work he does — whether through wealth management or hosting Watches & Whiskey — is rooted in connection, purpose, and helping others create something lasting.

Watches & Whiskey started with a simple Zoom call...

In 2023, during a client meeting, Adam noticed a unique watch on the client’s wrist. A shared passion quickly turned into something bigger. That conversation sparked an idea: create a space where people could connect over a love of timepieces and whiskey in a relaxed, meaningful setting.

 

The same client later introduced Adam to the team at WatchBox, now the 1916 Company, and from there, Watches & Whiskey began to take shape. Now entering its third year, the event has grown from a casual gathering into a true tradition. It brings together collectors, professionals, and friends for an evening of craftsmanship, conversation, and curated pours with a deeper purpose.

Starting in 2025, Watches & Whiskey proudly supports the NEPA Invitational, a charitable golf tournament founded by Brandon and Danielle Matthews. The event directly benefits the Janet Weis Children’s Hospital, along with other initiatives aimed at improving children’s health and expanding access to care. Funds also help support the growth of golf at all levels, from junior development to community programs.

 

Watches & Whiskey is more than just a night out. It is a chance to give back, connect, and celebrate the things that bring us together.
