We missed the last fortnightly roundup…it was intentional. We were in the midst of the post Watches & Wonders writing frenzy, that we thought we’d bring you the good stuff from Hong Kong first, and delay the roundup and roll it up to one for the month. In this roundup, we will cover the events for the whole month, but will leave out the double and triple daily events in Hong Kong around Watches & Wonders.
Roundup of horological events for the month ending 18 October 2015
We begin with the showing of a special IWC
