From an enamel master to a third-generation publisher and editor, they have forged careers in a sector that hasn’t always acknowledged women’s work.

Women have always been active members of the watch community, even during periods when their contributions were not all that easy to discern.

But today, it is obvious that women are among the executives who direct the brands, the artisans who create the timepieces, the media that chronicles the industry and the customers whose purchases keep it thriving.

She said that during a previous edition of Dubai Watch Week she met many knowledgeable women. “They know their things. So many interesting women who know what they’re talking about.”
