Dubai Watch Week is the ultimate event for lovers of all things horological. Running 16 – 20 November, the event brings together stakeholders from across the watchmaking world, highlighting the creativity, community and traditions of the watch industry.
Under the patronage of Her Highness Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the 6th edition of Dubai Watch Week will take place at The Gate, Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). With a range of satellite events and with its celebration of creatives, leading brands, and innovation, Dubai Watch Week is the ultimate place to discover a vibrant community and to engage in creative exchanges and networking.
This year’s event is set to be the largest yet with an engaging program of events and activities intended to drive awareness and bring in the crowds. With over 55 brands confirmed, 2023’s event is pushing the boundaries and cementing its place at the head of the global luxury and horology industry.
In a space of over 100,000 square feet, leading global brands such as Rolex, Audemars Piguet, TUDOR, Hublot, Chopard, Ulysse Nardin, Girard-Perregaux, Van Cleef & Arpels, CHANEL and WatchBox will be present in stand-alone spaces and will present a range of immersive experiences. The exhibitor list is extensive and participants include Breitling, Bremont, Laurent Ferrier, Louis Erard and many, many more.
“The 6th edition is shaping up to be the largest iteration of the event yet, underpinned by collaboration and cultural elements, as we celebrate Curious Confluence and the intersection of industries further. Our core objectives will continue to spearhead what to expect on-site, and as the event transcends horology, we are keen to expand our offering, thus appealing to a wider audience. We are grateful to our partners and the brands participating this year, we look forward to collaborating with them to create the most unique and immersive edition yet,” said Hind Seddiqi, Director General of Dubai Watch Week.
“Dubai Watch Week, a movement in horology, will continue to pioneer rising players across key fields and support initiatives that further elevate our industry, and cement Dubai as a global centre for culture in line with the nation’s vision,” added Seddiqi.
Alongside the exhibitors will run a series of events including a Horology Forum, Creative Hubs, and Masterclasses along with new watch launches and debates designed to foster discussion and to provide visitors with a unique experience. New F&B concepts will debut at the event alongside entertainment, craftsmanship and tech-driven events along with unique MB&F M.A.D Gallery pieces in the Brands Exhibition. There’s no doubt, Dubai Watch Week will be the place to be.
