Next month, Singapore will host a significant exhibition, “George Daniels 100: The Genesis of Artisanal Watchmaking,” commemorating the centenary of the legendary British watchmaker. At the heart of the showcase, two iconic pocket watches—Space Traveller I and II—will be displayed together for the first time. Featuring 22 pieces from Daniels’ prolific career, the exhibition highlights his profound impact on independent horology. A documentary on his influence will premiere during the event, further celebrating his legacy in the world of watchmaking. The exhibition runs from November 12 to 15, before moving to London in 2027.

François-Henry Bennahmias, former CEO of Audemars Piguet, has taken on a consulting role at Hublot amid a tumultuous period for the Swiss luxury watch brand. Following a staggering 38% drop in turnover, Hublot’s output has nearly halved, reflecting declining demand in key markets. As the company seeks to navigate these challenges, experts suggest Bennahmias should implement strategies to create scarcity and enhance desirability within its product lineup. With an eye on its 50th anniversary in 2030, Hublot aims to revitalize its brand presence and rejuvenate its status in the competitive watch market.

Engaging panel discussions on collecting trends underscored the evolving landscape of the watch industry, highlighting the growing enthusiasm for both traditional and neo-vintage timepieces.
