That will be followed by collector and watch industry insider Jeff Kingston taking guests on a tour of the show floor at 11:30 a.m., pointing out notable new watches and giving insights into the culture and background of each exhibiting watch brand.
At 12:30 p.m., a panel of watch industry experts will offer their perspectives on the industry, from the changes surrounding Baselworld to the future of traditional watchmaking.
