The Horology Forum is an intellectual space comprised of free-flowing discussions between leading watch curators, pioneers, authors, historians, collectors, brands and industry professionals. This year marks the 5th edition dedicated to the transfiguration of horology under the theme ‘Innovation & Technology’, where attendees will observe informal conversations between linchpins of the industry, divulging their perceptions and rationalizations of the status quo and sharing their formative experiences that molded them into the revered figures we know today. Each panel will conclude with a 15-minute Q&A between the attendees and panelists.
