About the Horology Forum : Dubai Watch Week 2021 The Horology Forum is an intellectually rigorous forum comprising free-flowing debates between master artisans, captains of industries, visionaries, and seasoned collectors, and is an innovative concept invented by Dubai Watch Week 2021. The Horology Forum, the forerunner of panel-led conversations in the watch business, brings together famous professionals from many sectors to interact in panels positioned to enlighten audiences and participants with their prized insights and unique viewpoints while analysing the topic at hand. Its criteria for choosing participants are unique in that they reach out to industries that aren't related to horology. The level of passion and commitment to excellence shared by all participants is the common thread that binds them together.
