Dubai Watch Week, the largest watch fair in the world?

With 90 watch brands gathering at the foot of the Burj Khalifa next November, the show organized every two years by the Seddiqi family is taking on an unprecedented scale this year.

Impossible doesn't seem to be part of the vocabulary of the Seddiqi family, who have built in just a few decades what is undoubtedly the most beautiful network of watch boutiques in the world. This hasn't stopped them from finding the time to create at the same time the favorite meeting place for major watch brands: elitist but informal, serious but welcoming. For its seventh edition, this Dubai Watch Week takes on an unprecedented scale: with 90 brands gathered for the occasion, this makes it the world's leading watch show in terms of the number of exhibitors, ahead of the Geneva event Watches & Wonders. Of course, under the Dubai sun, you won't find the madness of the gigantic Palexpo stands. But now, in partnership with the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), Dubai Culture, and Dubai Mall, the show is coming to the Dubai Mall, within Burj Park, at the foot of one of the most famous buildings on the planet. Enough to attract even more attention.
But, above all, the show remains true to its pioneering and pioneering side: across 18,000 m2 of exhibition space, alongside renowned brands, there will always be spaces dedicated to micro brands and the most cutting-edge watchmaking brands. The show, which already welcomed 23,000 visitors in 2023, is expected to grow even further from November 19 to 23. "The growing interest from brands and partners in this year's edition is a source of satisfaction and humility, as we consolidate the Dubai Watch Week platform and continue to propel Dubai as a global destination," said Hind Seddiqi, CEO of Dubai Watch Week. We are delighted to welcome our guests to a new, larger venue for this 7th edition, as we celebrate ten years since our inception in 2015. Our goal is to create a memorable experience for our guests by rethinking our programming concepts and curating events that will continue to inspire the industry and visitors from around the world.
