A Decade of Dialogue and Discovery

Since 2015, Horology Forum has evolved into an essential platform under Dubai Watch Week, dedicated to advancing discussions on watchmaking, innovation, and craftsmanship. Over the past ten years, it has featured 90 panel discussions with over 270 speakers, from revered watchmakers to industry leaders, creating a unique forum for the exchange of ideas and insights that shape the future of horology.

Why Hong Kong? Embracing the Rich Heritage of Asian Collectors

Dubai Watch Week chose Hong Kong as the location for HF10 to honour the region’s vibrant watch-collecting culture and its esteemed status as a luxury hub. Hosting the forum in Asia for the first time reflects Dubai Watch Week’s commitment to connecting diverse global communities, extending its reach, and celebrating the unique perspectives that collectors in the region bring to the world of horology.

Trust and Tradition: Rooted in Legacy, Shaping the Future

Founded by Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, Dubai Watch Week is grounded in a legacy of authenticity, integrity, and passion for horology. These values are woven into the fabric of every Dubai Watch Week initiative, from community building to innovation. HF10 was a celebration of this enduring promise—a testament to our dedication to not only preserving but also advancing the art of watchmaking through thoughtful engagement and education.

Looking Ahead: Honoring Tradition, Inspiring Innovation

As we reflect on the success of HF10 in Hong Kong, Dubai Watch Week remains inspired by the journey ahead. With a vision to create ever-more enriching platforms for horological exploration, we’re committed to honouring the traditions that define horology while embracing the innovations that propel it forward.
