Beyond the Founder: Who Keeps the Brand Beating?


‘Legacy’ is a loaded word in watchmaking. At Dubai Watch Week, we uncover one of horology’s most pressing and often overlooked truths: the quiet crisis of succession.
From family dynasties to founder-led independents, we explore the emotional, strategic, and often uncomfortable realities of future-proofing a brand. Is succession a plan, a gamble, or a myth? And when does protecting the legacy start to choke its evolution?

Happening from 3-4 PM on Saturday, 22nd November, at Dubai Watch Week 2025. Click on link below to add it to your calendar and join us live at Dubai Mall, Burj Park or catch the livestream on YouTube.
