Faheem Khan and Neeshu Hajra of The Escapement give us the lowdown on why they moved the gathering to Las Vegas from Abu Dhabi, who is behind the group running the event, and why there is most definitely room for another watch show.

While much of the watch industry is looking to India as the next big growth market, Bangalore Watch Company aims to bring watches designed and assembled there to an international client. Co-founder and CEO Nirupesh Joshi gives us the lowdown on where BWC has been and where it wants to go.

This watch executive sees two sides of the industry from his position as the head of the brand Formex and a senior leader at component producer and supplier Dexel.

Strap in for an in-depth discussion on the decade-long adventure that the revived Czapek brand has driven. Xavier de Roquemaurel discloses the highlights, the dark periods, and where he hopes to take the historic independent marque next.
