The event wasn’t just about learning though—it was also a celebration of horology and a platform for like-minded individuals to connect. After Ho’s presentation, he opened the floor to questions from members of the audience. Curiosity about shadow play, colour schemes and how to shoot dome watches kept the conversation flowing over champagne and canapés, and Peter Young undoubtedly asked the most important question of the night: how to get the perfect group watch shot—a favourite snap to take among watch club members.
