Fresh Eyes on Old Dials: A Critique of the Watch Industry


The symptoms are familiar: declining relevance, aging audiences, and a stubborn refusal to adapt. But what’s the real diagnosis? This talk dissects the watch industry like a cultural pathologist, examining where legacy has become liability.

With the fresh perspective of an outsider and watch veteran, we investigate the cultural blind spots, stale strategies, and missed opportunities that keep horology speaking to the same audience. Is the problem taste, relevance, or risk aversion? And what would it take to make watchmaking truly modern not just cosmetically so?

Happening from 5-6 PM on Thursday, 20th November, at Dubai Watch Week 2025. Click the link below to add it to your calendar and join us live at Dubai Mall, Burj Park or catch the livestream on YouTube.
