Servants of Serpents - The Horology Forum 2020

A panel about conspiracy and authenticity and whether the heart of the luxury industry beats in an organic market or is wound-up and coerced into ticking by specific entities. Organized by Dubai Watch Week, the Horology Forum creates a virtual gathering with experts from across the world to discuss the infrastructure of the luxury industry.

Joining us are Ali Khadra, Marie-Cécile Cisamolo, Ian Skellern and Gary Getz.

What is the truest way to find out if a piece/art is actually good or not? - 0:35:54
Are you a follower or a leader? - 0:45:09
What do you think of the notion: another word for contemporary art is hard work ignored while trash is celebrated? - 1:01:28
Have you ever been in a position where you liked something no one else did publicly? - 1:12:12
