Every year at WatchTime New York, we host a number of industry panels throughout the Saturday session. These panels serve as a sort-of bookmark throughout the day and are a great chance to hear watchmakers themselves, industry pundits, and various members of the horological cognoscenti discuss the world of watchmaking as a whole.
Attendees at last year’s WatchTime New York panel moderated by WatchTime Editor-in-Chief Roger Ruegger (center). Returning panelists include Rudy Albers (directly to Ruegger’s right), President of Wempe USA, and Jeremy Roizin (two people to Ruegger’s left), Managing Director of Watch Anish.
In The Future of Watch Collecting, which starts at 12:30 p.m., we have six members of the watch industry in varying capacity scheduled to discuss how they’ve seen the industry, and the collectors inside of it, evolve during their career. We’ve selected these people not only due to their prominent positions in the watchmaking world but also because they will be able to offer different opinions on everything from the desires of contemporary collectors to the differences and similarities between online and physical retail. Moderating the panel is the Editor-in-Chief of WatchTime magazine, Roger Ruegger. Here?s some background information on who exactly will be featured in the second panel of WatchTime New York 2018 (Saturday tickets still available, click here to get yours now).
