In November 1019, GaryG moderated “Apocalypse II,” A Horology Forum discussion panel at Dubai Watch Week (DWW) 2019 discussing the impact of connected watches on the mechanical watch industry. The panelists constituted Benoît Mintiens (Ressence), Stephen Forsey (Greubel Forsey), and Lucien Vouillamoz (HYT).

Here DWW’s Dominique Mahoney asks Gary to share his thoughts on if/how the impact of COVID-19 has affected some of the issues that were brought up then. And as a bonus he shares his Patek Philippe Reference 1526, the world’s first serially produced perpetual calendar.
