Did we learn anything? No. Just some advertisements one after the other…

This could be a mini-series!

This is non horological. Her own conclusion says the "connection is hard to see" after she exlained it for an hour.. brutal

Malaika is doing a great job bringing in new perspectives in this male dominated horological world. I like the way she is doing it, she has character. Something many people are missing, especially in the comment sections of content she is publishing.

What does this have to do with horology? It’s all pictures, ads and unverified opinions.

I want to try and find value - if for no reason other than justfying sitting through this thing. The topic was perhaps too broad and lead to the feeling of being jerked around by a presenter that felt like they just were winging it and pulling images from instagram. A more specific topic - hiphop, fashion, watches (something she seems to care about), humor/silliness in fashion/watches, perminenace vs obscellence, lack of variety (in watches vs fashion) - anything more targeted, might have been interesting.

this lecture needs to be appreciated for the absolute accuracy of the visual material - not just the verbal presentation. anyone with a modicum of design sensibility or visual literacy should be able to learn a LOT from the material malaika has assembled, curated and juxtaposed here. perhaps she is trying to do the impossible by inserting her perspective smack bang in the middle of the watch community. but as we know, as wirh all ugly ducklings, it's just a matter of time and context. the brands are already starting to get on board - hello vacheron, piaget and AP. respect, ms. crawford - keep on keeping on.

You may not like some of the watches but you gots to recognize the cultural significance of the movement. No not the caliber you fools.

Really don't understand some of the negative remarks here ! Like ' this is not horlogerie' , 'did we learn anything',... Sorry to say but I found it very interesting to hear that point of view and discover what influence fashion had on watches during 100 years. Talking only about complications and finishing all the time is a bit narrow minded, I'm always open to broader my knowledge and this gave me an EXTRA point of view.

What question did it ask? And was it answered? How can we use this to adjust our frame of reference and guide us in understanding the past and help predict the future. This lecture does not 'hang' together as it does not address the above. Not that it's not interesting just as a lecture it fails.
