From its beginnings ten years ago Dubai Watch Week has operated on a more is more philosophy: More content, more panel talks, more interaction, more inclusivity, and, of course, the best of the best timepieces.
For Ahmed Seddiqi, the 75-year-old leading luxury watch and jewellery retailer in the Middle East with 100+ brands sold across over 50 boutiques, it was always important that Dubai Watch Week is free and open to the public. Thus, it has become a global calendar event for luxury, culture, and horology that is all about education, knowledge, sharing, community – and having fun.
The 7th edition marks a 46% increase in brands participation from the 2023 edition (which drew 23,000 visitors.) Among the 90 brands, Rolex exhibits alongside major, independent, and micro brands including Bvlgari, Chopard, Czapek, De Bethune, Ferdinand Berthoud. H Moser & Cie., Hublot., Kross Studio, Louis Vuitton, TAG Heuer, Trilobe, MB&F, and Hermès.
This year, larger than ever, Dubai Watch Week will run until Nov 23 and occupy 20,000 square metres in the Burj Park at Dubai Mall. Here you will find brand exhibitions, masterclasses, panel talks, and many other immersive surprises and activations that are bound to entice audiences. “We are incredibly excited to welcome guests to a new and bigger venue for the 7th edition as we celebrate 10 years since our establishment in 2015. Our goal is to create a memorable experience for guests by refreshing our programming concepts and curating activations that will continue to inspire the industry and visitors from across the world,” commented Hind Seddiqi, CEO of Dubai Watch Week.
