Dubai Watch Week and Christie’s have partnered to bring the first International Horology Forum to London on September 11–12, 2018.

The overall theme centers around bridging the gap between innovation and tradition, though the planned discussions tend to be wide ranging.

"Innovation & Technology" Discussion panel moderated by Ian Skellern at Dubai Watch Week 2017, with Stephen Forsey (Greubel Forsey), Felix Baumgartner (Urwerk) and Alexis Georgacopoulos (ECAL)
