Open to the public and taking place once every other year, Dubai Watch Week is the premier horology event in the Middle East, and its inclusive and educational format makes it different from any other large-scale gathering within the watch industry. For 2023, Dubai Watch Week will be returning for its 6th edition, and with more than 55 participating brands confirmed for the event, this year’s show promises to be the biggest one yet.
Founded in 2015 by Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, Dubai Watch Week is unique among the major industry events in that it is more about celebrating the creativity and passion within the watch industry, rather than just being a place for brands to present their latest models. While a number of watch events are now starting to open their doors to the public, accessibility to collectors and enthusiasts has been part of Dubai Watch Week’s core agenda since the very beginning. This is reflected in the educational and immersive format of the event, which incorporates a number of workshops, lectures, and panel discussions.
Set to take place from November 16th-20th, 2023, the 6th edition of Dubai Watch Week will be held at The Gate, Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). Spanning more than 100,000 square feet, the event will also include stand-alone spaces on-site that will be dedicated to the larger participating brands such as Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Tudor, Hublot, Chopard, Ulysse Nardin, Girard-Perregaux, Van Cleef & Arpels, Chanel, and WatchBox. In addition to a number of new models that will be launched at the event, Dubai Watch Week 2023 will also incorporate the Horology Forum, Creative Hubs, and Masterclass programs that have been part of previous editions of the event, which further expand the activities and educational opportunities for those in attendance.
