A celebration of artisanal independent watchmaking

Twenty years ago, The Hour Glass boldly launched “Tempus—The Great Watchscapade”, one of the first events dedicated to watch enthusiasts. However, Michael Tay, group managing director of The Hour Glass, emphasises that IAMWATCH is different from other events because he aims to innovate rather than replicate. Tay hopes to bring freshness to the global watch industry, which is where the idea of IAMWATCH originated.
